To The Next Class Of BG Falcons

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to Bowling Green State University! After countless tours, events, meetings, and pounds of recruitment mail, you’ve finally decided to venture out to our spacious campus in Northwest Ohio.

As an experienced BGSU student, I’m here to tell you that you’ve chosen wisely. Sure, BGSU does have its flaws- the constant gusts of wind everyday, the abundance of farm fields, the piercing noise of the train every morning- but perhaps, you, like the rest of us, wanted to overlook such flaws and embrace such flaws as uniqueness.

Of course, there are quite the number of positive things about BGSU- the campus dining options (Panda Express, Jamba Juice, and Marco’s Pizza?! Hell yeah!), the beautiful green patches of grass and trees during the warmer seasons, the adorable shops in downtown BG… not to mention the abundance of cookie places and clubs. Yes, BG may be another small town of fields to some, but to us, BG is like a second home.

It may take you awhile to get used to the life of a college student, that rings true for any freshman in any college. However, you, and the other “baby Falcons” (as we like to refer to freshmen), are surrounded by others who are either going through the same thing or did go through the same thing at some point. We get it and we’d be happy to help you!

College can be difficult and whether you live an hour away from BG or three hours away, it’s normal to be homesick. The thing about BGSU is that it has a way of offering a comfort spot whether it’s in your dorm room, in a quiet corner on the second floor of our student union, the seventh floor of the library, the cute little pond next to the music building, or some cute cafe downtown like Grounds for Thought.

Bowling Green has its charm and so does BGSU so make sure to enjoy your years here because I know am so far. Falcons Fly Forever.

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.
