Those clowns have nothing on us!

Why BGSU Students Are Absolutely Fearless

Other campuses create mobs and are out for blood the minute there are rumors of clowns roaming their home. At Bowling Green, we would never dream of letting a clown rattle us. Seeing people in masks is apart of our every day routine. Even the fact that Bowling Green is in the middle of a cornfield scares off the weak, then the brutal winter makes us stronger. Here are a few reasons why Bowling Green has been training for he clown epidemic since 1910!

1. SicSic

The only thing BGSU students do not like about the clowns is that they do not spoil us with Laffy Taffy. People walking around wearing masks is nothing new to us, we have been seeing it for over 70 years with SicSic. I wonder how that idea came up:

"Ok yes, BG needs a group of people who wear masks around school and put signs all over campus.. but so people do not get scared of us, lets give our candy... PERFECT!"

2. The famous BG wind

Wearing a dress in Bowling Green is a dangerous game because you have a 50/50 chance of flashing someone, so I suggest always wearing cute underwear. Umbrellas do not stand a chance either, but if your small enough you can hope that the wind will pick you up so you could fly to your next class.

3. Oak Grove Cemetery

Where is the perfect place to put a cemetery? Right in the middle of a college campus! It is especially creepy on a foggy October morning when there are rumors of clowns roaming around, but us being BG students-- we really do not care.

4. The "beheading" ceremony

The ceremony itself is completely normal, revealing who our mascots are and recognizing all of their hard work as Freddie and Freida Falcon are is great! However, you feel a little uncomfortable telling your friends that this weekend you are going to a beheading ceremony.

5. Ziggython

Standing on your feet for 24 hours? No Problem! Riding your bike for 180 miles? Bring it on! We will do anything 'For The Kids!'

6. The Vagina Rock

I will not lie, this one does scare me a little bit.

7. Dollar drink nights

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Then of course everyone is going to go out on Friday and Saturday. We are not afraid, but our livers should be.

8. Living in Kreischer or Harshman

Poor little Freshmen, have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Half of Harshman is closed down because of mold, but does that stop people from calling the quad home sweet home? Never! Does the far walk to classes scare them away? Nope!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
