Why BGSU Students Are Absolutely Fearless

Those clowns have nothing on us!

Why BGSU Students Are Absolutely Fearless

Other campuses create mobs and are out for blood the minute there are rumors of clowns roaming their home. At Bowling Green, we would never dream of letting a clown rattle us. Seeing people in masks is apart of our every day routine. Even the fact that Bowling Green is in the middle of a cornfield scares off the weak, then the brutal winter makes us stronger. Here are a few reasons why Bowling Green has been training for he clown epidemic since 1910!

1. SicSic

The only thing BGSU students do not like about the clowns is that they do not spoil us with Laffy Taffy. People walking around wearing masks is nothing new to us, we have been seeing it for over 70 years with SicSic. I wonder how that idea came up:

"Ok yes, BG needs a group of people who wear masks around school and put signs all over campus.. but so people do not get scared of us, lets give our candy... PERFECT!"

2. The famous BG wind

Wearing a dress in Bowling Green is a dangerous game because you have a 50/50 chance of flashing someone, so I suggest always wearing cute underwear. Umbrellas do not stand a chance either, but if your small enough you can hope that the wind will pick you up so you could fly to your next class.

3. Oak Grove Cemetery

Where is the perfect place to put a cemetery? Right in the middle of a college campus! It is especially creepy on a foggy October morning when there are rumors of clowns roaming around, but us being BG students-- we really do not care.

4. The "beheading" ceremony

The ceremony itself is completely normal, revealing who our mascots are and recognizing all of their hard work as Freddie and Freida Falcon are is great! However, you feel a little uncomfortable telling your friends that this weekend you are going to a beheading ceremony.

5. Ziggython

Standing on your feet for 24 hours? No Problem! Riding your bike for 180 miles? Bring it on! We will do anything 'For The Kids!'

6. The Vagina Rock

I will not lie, this one does scare me a little bit.

7. Dollar drink nights

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Then of course everyone is going to go out on Friday and Saturday. We are not afraid, but our livers should be.

8. Living in Kreischer or Harshman

Poor little Freshmen, have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Half of Harshman is closed down because of mold, but does that stop people from calling the quad home sweet home? Never! Does the far walk to classes scare them away? Nope!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
