Bowling Green State University is a medium-sized, public university in northwest Ohio that comes with wind, corn, two falcon mascots that are always around campus, and a shared hatred for TSUN. Here are the ABCs of everything BGSU.

A is for Ay

The first word in the official fight song of BGSU

B is for Brown

One of our colors, and the one no one seems to like

C is for Corn

The crop that hides the university from the rest of Ohio

D is for Doyt

Doyt Perry Stadium, where you can see the football team lose every year

E is for Eppler

Eppler Complex, aka the most confusing building on campus

F is for Freddie & Frieda Falcon

Our beloved birds

G is for Greek Village

Greek life is abundant on campus, and the Greek Village is always having a fun time in the summer

H is for Howard's

A local bar where many small bands get their start

I is for Insomnia

Warm cookies, delivered straight to your door

J is for Jamba Juice

The line might be long and take forever, but its refreshing

K is for Kermit's

A local restaurant with the best breakfast in BG

L is for Lot 12

The literal worst

M is for Mazey (RIP)

Mary Ellen Mazey, the GOAT who we will miss

N is for Non-Stop Construction

Literally. When will it stop?

O is for Orange

The other color, that some people actually like

P is for Parking Services

We all hate them, and they always come around at the time you least expect them to

Q is for Quiet Hours

They all around suck and are enforced a little too seriously...especially 24 hours quiet hours

R is for Roll Along

...You BG Falcons, Roll along for BGSU!

S is for Stroh

Where you can watch basketball and volleyball tear it up

T is for Talons Up

*cue falcon screech*

U is for Uptown

The infamous "freshman" bar that is ALWAYS way too crowded

V is for Vice

The new bar!!!

W is for Wind

Literally there's more wind than Chicago, the windy city

X is for Xtra-Large Pizza

That you can get at Marco's with Falcon Dollars!!

Y is for Your home away from home

Even if it takes a few years for you to realize

Z is for Ziggy

Can't have Ay without Ziggy.... and Mazey's dog

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
