The ABC’s Of The University Of Michigan

My favorite place in the world has so much to offer! I thought it would be hard to think of something for every letter, but it was actually hard to choose just one.

A– Ann Arbor

Ranked the best college town in the country for a reason!

B– Big House

No better or bigger place to experience the best gamedays of all time. And we get to graduate there too!

C– Cube

Just a big cube but until you spin it, you don’t get it

D– Diag

The most beloved cut-through to classes! It is always entertaining to see what's going on near the diag. But don’t step on the M or you will fail your first blue book exam

E– Eating Pizza House

If you haven't had feta bread from pizza house do you even go to the University of Michigan?

F– FOOTBALL

Pretty self-explanatory but uh yea hail to the victors we are the best! Go Blue always baby.

G– Graffiti Alley

A super cool place off State Street to check out the newest art

H– Hatcher

The quiet library. Where people are ~more~ productive

I– Insomnia

So dangerously delicious and they deliver all across campus

J– Jim Harbaugh

The man, the myth, the legend. We trust him with our team and lives.

K– Kickass academics

Not ranked the number one public university for nothing! We work hard and play hard.

L– Law quad

Fun to play frisbee in the fall and spring and slightly spooky to walk through at night in winter. But always gorgeous.

M– Michigan Time

The most amazing concept for the late birds. 10 extra minutes to get to class– what could be better?

N– North Campus

A whole bus ride away and filled with freshman, engineers, and art majors. But a serene place where you see tons of wildlife!

O– Ohio sucks

They never really win if you know what I mean

P– Painting the rock

A classic tradition that all of us have done at least once

Q– Quadrangle

North, south, east, west quad; all lovely dorms on central campus, if you get so lucky. Otherwise, Markley is at least ~social~

R– Rossholes

While it is mostly a stereotype, if you see someone in a suit with a stick up their butt, they're probably in Ross studying business

S– State Street

The street that's truly got it all. Walgreens, Chipotle, Starbucks, a movie theater, CVS, Grilled Cheesery and more

T– Tailgates

No one throws them better. Tailgate szn is the best szn.

U– Ugli

The 24-hour library that everyone spends so much time in. It becomes a love-hate kind of thing.

V– Very long winter

No one can prep you for the winters here they are basically 6 months and it is just cold, windy and gray

W– Walking in the Arb

Nothing like the serene nature of the Arb. A place to escape and take a break.

X– Xtracurriculars

Michigan has more than anywhere else. Want to join or get involved in something? We got it!

Y– Yost Arena

Where the hockey team plays and student enjoy more high end sporting events! Just a small secret: hockey games have the best cheers.

Z– Zingermans

The absolutely delicious and famous sandwich place that even Obama loves.


As you can see the University of Michigan has all of this to offer and more. Michigan is the perfect place to go to school and b a part of something greater than any of us.

This video always hits me with the feels so I thought I would attach it at the bottom of this article for anyone who made it this far.

My favorite letter of the alphabet is M and here is why:

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
