11 Things BG Squirrels Would Say If They Could Talk

Here at BGSU, we take pride in our squirrels. We have our “squirrel along” shirts and January 21 is Squirrel Appreciation Day! Not to mention, we have all kinds of cute, friendly squirrels that roam campus. We have brown, red, gray and even white squirrels! I’ve always wondered what they would say if they could talk. Without further ado, here is a list of things BG squirrels might say if they spoke.


1. “I see you’re sitting in the grass. Is that because you have food for me?”

The squirrels in BG will literally walk right up to you, especially if you have food.

2. “Draw me like like one of your French squirrels.”

If you think about it, we are always stopping to get pictures of the squirrels to post on social media, and why wouldn't we? They're so cute!

3. “I saw that white squirrel yesterday. Humans are always freaking out about that squirrel and I don’t know why. I’m cuter.”

The white squirrel gets so much more attention than the other squirrels. That makes sense to us since we know they’re a rare sight in Ohio, but the other squirrels probably don’t understand that. They want attention too!

4. *November arrives* “Oh crap! It’s getting cold. I need to steal all of the acorns and bury them in the ground so I can continue to eat before the winter comes.”

You always see the squirrels burying their acorns by the time it starts getting cold outside.

5. “The other day I saw humans walking around dressed up like us… What weirdos.”

Yes. People do this. It’s real. I think it’s wonderful and hilarious.

6. “We can pretty much do whatever we want because we’re adorable.”

True statement.

7. “Do humans scare me? Ha, no! They’re so slow and they can’t even run up trees!”

Also a true statement.

8. *Human approaches a squirrel to try to pet it* “No touchy! I’m going to run up this tree if you get too close. Not just anyone gets to touch this perfect fur.”

This explains why they always run away from us when we intentionally walk too close to them.

9. “Dogs are the worst. They always chase us and it’s really annoying.”

I always feel bad for the poor little squirrels when I see a dog chasing them.

10. “This is our grass and our acorns. So, if you’re a human, be prepared to make way for us walking around. We don’t cut you off, you cut us off.”

I’m sure we’ve all been seemingly cut off by a squirrel before as we were walking to class. However, if you think of it from their perspective, we’re probably to ones cutting them off.

11. “Feed me.”

That’s pretty much what those squirrels are looking for: food.


I hope this entertained you and answered some of your squirrel-related questions. Feel free to add any extra comments you think BG squirrels might say if they could talk!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
