The ABC’s Of The University Of Michigan
MGoBlue

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:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
