I have been going to Bowling Green State University for one-and-a-half years, and I absolutely love the college. Downtown Bowling Green is really small, but it has a homey feeling to it and it’s hard not to love, too. So, I decided to write about my home away from home in a poem-type way. And if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the letter each topic starts with spells Bowling Green down the side. Here are just a few things that make living in BG BG.

1. Brown and orange

Two colors that don’t look good on anyone, but consist of 70% of my wardrobe.

2. Oodles of organizations

Free stuff and over 350 organizations to join, a great combination.

3. Walking everywhere

Get your steps in, and challenge friends in a Fitbit challenge.

4. Living with a roommate

You’re forced to have ‘em, but it’s your choice to love ‘em.

5. Ice arena

Hockey – hot guys, fighting, what’s not to love?

6. New start

The second semester is your second and last chance to bring up that GPA.

7. Grounds for Thought

Vast green lawns that are more white than green this time of the year.

9. Rivalry

It’s all fun and games until Toledo’s the opponent, then it’s war.

10. Every day I'm hustlin'

When you leave five minutes before class, and it’s a ten-minute walk, this will beyou.

11. Eating Options

Dining halls that serve the same food every week, or the Union where they serve the same food every day.

12. No place I'd rather be

College can be tough, but once you find the place where you belong, it makes it all worth it.
