PEOPLEON THESTREET
Qdoba right for a student budget If there’s one thing I can fully get behind, it’s that Chipotle is some bomb food. However, it’s not the best. Qdoba is about 100 times better than Chipotle. Okay, maybe not 100, but at least seven, and of course you know I’m about to explain each of those seven reasons why. While it doesn’t necessarily seem like a big deal, Qdoba actually is a really beneficial source for hungry University students. First, while Qdoba and Chipotle are very similar-both offer burritos, bowls, tacos and salads made up of the typical rice, beans, salsas, meat and other toppings. However, Qdoba has so many more options. For instance, Qdoba offers quesadillas (which I hear Chipotle does, but they aren’t on the menu). I can’t tell you about how good one is because I’ve never had one, but I can tell you how amazing the loaded tortilla soup is. It’s got all the same stuff your burrito does, but it’s all loaded in giant tortilla bowl (the kind taco salads come in) and covered in delicious, only slightly spicy, soup. You won’t find loaded tortilla soup after standing in a half hour line at Chipotle. The number two reason why Qdoba is superior is exactly that: the lack of line. You
Holly Shively Editor-In-Chief can go into Qdoba on any given day and find a 10 minute line, tops. Most of the time I walk straight up to the counter and order my delicious loaded tortilla soup. There is one exception to the short line rule, and that’s Flip Thursday, which is just another reason Qdoba will always win my business. During the school year, going to Qdoba on a Thursday night means a 50 percent chance my entrée will be free. Just by the sheer luck that when the cashier flips a coin it lands on the right side. Speaking of free, Qdoba knows what being a college student is like, and that’s constantly searching for free stuff. Chipotle charges $1.75 for guacamole, which I personally believe is the best part of whatever entrée anyone orders. $1.75 doesn’t seem like much, but when you put it in terms of an hour and 45 minutes of
parking on campus, that’s outrageous. Best of all, Qdoba offers free guac. They know my struggle. You also won’t find queso at Chipotle. Thanks for serving my extra cheesy needs, Qdoba. As if Qdoba isn’t doing enough offering us free guacamole and queso, if you show your University student ID when you check out, you’ll get a free drink. More heaven to make my journey to Qdoba the best it can be. Finally, if I don’t want to make that journey to Qdoba, they’ll come to me with free delivery on a $10 order. Does Chipotle deliver? I didn’t think so. While sometimes you need Chipotle to hit the spot when you’re craving it, Qdoba is my weekly go to. The company, whether it’s a national operation or just our local Qdoba that treats us so well, I can’t deny the extra options the restaurant provides and the money it saves me on guac. Not to mention, Qdoba does a heck of a good job pleasing my taste buds.

Mental health case-by-case basis The month of May was Mental Health Awareness Month, and throughout the entire time, I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve been doing about my mental health since I first started my journey with depression two years ago. I have had depression on and off since I was 13. Since I’ve been coming to college it has become more present. Mental health on college campuses is beginning to be seen as a more prominent issue, as 94 percent of college campuses

FORUM Continued from Page 4 and we ended up having a wedding and a funeral in the same weekend. I was able to work through the necessary grief process with her and was able to handle his loss better than I had the losses of other loved ones during my years at school. In spring 2015, I decided I was comfortable enough to participate in group counseling. I was able to talk to and associate with other peers who were going through or had went through similar issues I was facing on multiple fronts both inside and outside of my mind. I had gotten so much support through counseling about the importance of standing up for myself and advocating for things I wanted and needed for myself. However, that support didn’t keep me from not wanting to get up in the morning or from not wanting to do menial tasks, such as cleaning, or even doing important things such as going to the bank, paying bills or money orders. There were (and still are) days that I would be dragging my feet to do something and when I would finally do it, I would not give 100 percent, as much as I would want to and would want to push myself. It was hard to sit down for an

extended period of time to take a break to do errands, because I knew if I sat down for just one moment, I would not be standing back up for an extended period of time. Last summer was my first time in 22 years being independent and on my own. And I thought the depression was from a lack of hours at my job, or a lack of just overall activity and boredom that sometimes comes with the BG summer. But I tried everything: reading, writing, doing overtime for the summer BG News. But nothing worked. Ultimately at the end of the summer, I decided to be prescribed antidepressants. At first I was terrified. In my hometown, addiction (especially in opioids which are found in prescription painkillers) is running rampant and it is killing people at an alarming rate nationally. I was also worried the first medication he would give me to try wouldn’t work. But my doctor encouraged me to just try it and if I did not like it, we could always find a different way and that if this pill didn’t work, we could always try something else. So before fall 2015, I made the decision to take antidepressants and I have not looked back since. Unfortunately, adjusting to the medication this past year has been detrimental to my grades
and GPA, (I failed two classes; one each semester), but I am very excited to be back on track to come back from the semester fresh. I still have days where I don’t want to do anything and I don’t want to get out of bed. I even still struggle with doing menial chores on some days. But it’s all a little more manageable with antidepressants. If you are struggling with any type of mental illness, I encourage you to not only seek help, but to find the help that works for you as an individual. For me, it was counseling and taking antidepressants that has helped me battle this. Everyone struggles with mental illness differently so my methods of getting better are not the same as my significant other, who has social anxiety, or my friend in my hometown who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder. Even those who have depression as I do may also find that my method of getting better does not fit them, but my method of getting better is not the same as everyone else’s. It is always important to find the way that works for you. Reply to Erika at thenews@bgnews.com
Reminiscing in time of changing media It seems like yesterday I was just a senior in high school, trying to choose between Ohio University and BGSU, and let me tell you, I made the right choice. Now, just two short-but very longyears later, I am the editor-in-chief of The BG News, starting with this edition and continuing through the last edition of the 2016-17 school year. I would not have had such an amazing opportunity had I attended OU. While the seniors from last year are still fresh in my memory, it’s time to move on with our summer paper and fill some very big shoes. I look forward to the challenge. This summer, a lot of things will be happening. First, we will be producing our last issue of The BG News in the beloved, but out-of-date West Hall, and moving to the new building. I look forward to spending a few more weeks in the cluttered mess that is our current newsroom, with the multitude of crazy decorations and jokes built up over the years of staff dragging in what seems like the most random of items, but I’m sure almost everything has its own story.
Holly Shively Editor-In-Chief Over summer, we will continue (and really move into action) our plans to merge with BG24 News. Our new media collaboration will be called Falcon Media, and the executive staffs of both outlets will be working together to bring our audiences the best and most diverse news we can find. Keep an eye out for the new Falcon Media website and various social media accounts as they begin popping up later this summer. Of course, our staffs will be sure to keep everyone informed along the process. Throughout this whole process, we want as much feedback as possible from our audience on what may or may not be working. After all, we are here to serve you. Contact thenews@bgnews.com with
any suggestions, story ideas, concerns or anything else you want us to know. We will do our best to help out with any questions or ideas. Overall, I am really looking forward to getting some experience running a newspaper, especially in our new blended media setting. I can’t wait to work with the staff of both mediums, so we can combine into one organization to best serve the University community. Until then, keep up to date with us every Wednesday throughout the summer. We will be printing for six weeks, starting today, and I will cherish every moment of this summer paper. I am forever thankful for every opportunity I’ve been given at the University, and my experience wouldn’t be the same anywhere else. While everyone is home missing Bowling Green this summer, make sure you keep up to date with our news. Respond to Holly at thenews@bgnews.com

FESTIVALS FOR ALL MUSIC LOVERS
By Sam Sharp Pulse Editor
However, the cost to camp is the highest closest to the concert area, so it may be worth the money to buy closer camping arrangements if long periods of exercise do not sound appealing. Some of this year’s country stars include Big & Rich, Dustin Lynch, Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley and Thomas Rhett.
High-profile music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza give fans a chance to enjoy a variety of entertainment, but the high prices and distant locations may be daunting to the occasional concertgoer. Fortunately, there are affordable options still available that will satisfy music enthusiasts without completely taking over their summer budget and plans.
Bonnaroo
Detroit’s Mo Pop Festival sprawls
over the lawn of West Riverfront Park on July 23rd and 24th. This festival is an excellent alternative option for fans that can’t take much time off work. General admission tickets cost $131.50 after processing and shipping fees and larger groups can save with a four-ticket sale package that costs $413. It’s located outdoors on the Detroit River waterfront, but it’s within walking distance of the downtown area, hotels and restaurants. The headliners are a good mix of indie and pop artists who appeal to a wide audience; they include G-Eazy, M83 and Haim. Other expected performers are Father John Misty, Matt and Kim, Børns, Mac Demarco and Glass Animals.
while Alabama Shakes and Death Cab For Cutie headline the other two nights, respectively. Other performances are expected from soul-warming artists like Gary Clark Jr., Sylvan Esso, Ryan Adams, Tourist and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Late night performances will be held at the Belle of Louisville and Headliners Music Hall for anyone who doesn’t want their festival day to end when the sun goes down.
Camp Bisco
Forecastle Festival turns Louisville’s
waterfront into a bustling center for music, art and environmental activism from July 15 through July 17. Forecastle is a happy medium choice for those who want a longer festival but prefer staying in a hotel. Three-day ticket passes cost $182.65 after fees and single day passes are also available for anyone who wants to skip a day to check out the Louisville area. For every ticket sold, the Festival organizers donate $1 to the Forecastle Foundation, which is a non-profit dedicated to land-level conservation projects. The first night opener is The Avett Brothers,
is located at Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Montage Mountain Park July 14 through 16. This festival features electronic artists and is a smaller substitute for larger electronic festivals like Ultra or sold-out Electric Forest. There is an eclectic mix of other genres as well for those who want a little musical variety over the weekend. Fans can seek amusement at the on-site waterpark, a zipline that overlooks the festival, local craft vendors and live performances at The Pavilion. Guests are encouraged to engage in the full Camp Bisco experience by spending their nights outdoors camping on Montage Mountain. Camping is a unique festival experience that is a practical way to beat traffic and make new friends you might not make in a more private setting. Weekend passes for the event run for $215.50 and camping passes may be bought at a flat rate of $45. Big Gramatik (Big Gigantic, Griz and Gramatik), Odesza, RL Grime, Lotus, Autograf, Marshmello and Lil Dicky are a few of the listed acts.
Country Concert has drawn country
music fans to Fort Loramie, Ohio for 36 years and will be from July 7-9 this year. The threeday celebration of country music brings fans of the genre together on a 500 acre field. Attendees are privileged to free unlimited re-entry, which makes traveling to the nearby campgrounds nearly hassle-free. Three day passes are being offered at $237 with several additional upgrades available and tent camping passes start at $199.
is celebrating its 15th Anniversary on 700 acres of pure farmland in Manchester, Tennessee June 9-12. Visitors follow a Bonnaroovian Code of Conduct that advises everyone to prepare themselves, play as a team, radiate positivity, respect the farm, “don’t be that guy/gal” and “stay true to ‘roo.” This code helps visitors get along and respect each other during and after the festival. Anyone with a positive attitude and friendly spirit will find this festival wildly appealing to the soul. The highlights of this year are a SuperJam (performance with multiple guest appearances from billed artists) tribute to Tennessee, a late night Tame Impala set, all night dancing at the Kalliope stage, Pearl Jam’s return to the farm and a double Dead & Company set. Fans can take a break from the excitement beyond the 10+ stages at the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre, Snake & Jake’s Christmas Barn, art workshops at The Academy or just relax in a hammock. A general admission ticket for all three days costs $349.50 and single day passes are available for purchase through the Nashville shuttle service (prices subject to the day of attendance). If traveling in a group, one member in the party must purchase either a car or a car camping pass in order to gain clearance to the grounds.

Summer classes give opportunity for students
By Sarah Smith Reporter With summer in full swing, campus may seem completely deserted, but many students find themselves needing to take summer classes. Being able to choose between online and in-person, along with the decision between one of the six-week sessions offered or an eight week session beginning in June, students have a variety of choices allowing them to get what seems like an endless list of required classes out of the way. Emily Smith, who will be a fourth year student in the fall is currently enrolled in a class for both the first and the second six-week sessions. She said she was taking summer classes to catch up after switching her major. “I would love to graduate with some of my friends, so I’m taking classes to catch up,” she said. “I chose two online
classes because I plan to work a lot this summer, and it’s just easier than taking classes on campus.” Many students will take one of the sixweek sessions over an eight-week session. “Taking a class for six weeks is more motivating than having to take a full semester,” Smith said. A study done by The Journal of Political Science Education showed that threequarters of students taking summer courses are taking more than one course, and more than half of those students work part or full time throughout the summer. The students participating in the study also reported that the range of work hours could be up to 40 hours per week. Megan Haymond, a third year nursing and political science student said, “I would be lying if I said I balance work, classes, and all the activities that come with summer gracefully.

More young adults living with parents By Holly Shively Editor-in-Chief Young adults are more likely to live with their parents than any other living condition for the first time ever, according to a recent Pew Research Center study. Dr. Krista Payne at the University’s National Center for Family and Marriage Research data analyst says that the number of those 18 to 34 years old living with parents has been rising for the last 50 years. While the report grouped young adults 18 to 24 years old, Payne said there hasn’t been that big of a difference in those 1825 as it’s expected that they live with their parents. She said the real jump has been for those ages 25 to 34, jumping from eight to 20 percent. Payne accounted part of the trend to the drop in the economy, which hasn’t recovered as quickly or as robustly as people had expected. Dr. Susan Brown, chair of the University sociology department and co-director of the National Center for Family and Marriage Research agreed. “It’s much more difficult for young adults these days to get a living wage job, so they’re not as economically independent,” she said. Brown also noted the inconsistency young adults, especially those in college, face when considering housing. “[Young adults] are going to have fluctuations in their living arrangements,” she said. “It’s not that they’re living with their parents consistently.” Payne referred to the inconsistency as a “boomerang” and said PRC’s report only shows a snapshot in time, not the transitions young adults go through. Derek Bean, 22, just finished his senior year at the University. Although he has one last class to take before he can complete his theatre major with a specialization in tech. Bean lived in dorms during all four years at the University, but his parents’ home in North Baltimore remained his permanent residence, and he lived there during the summer. He plans to continue living at home while taking his last class at the University.
Bean said he is concerned about economics. While he just started a new job, he isn’t sure how much each paycheck will be or how much living away from his parents would cost. “With that not being known, I can’t go out and say ‘okay, I’m definitely going to be able to be here and be comfortable,’” he said. Bean said that while he’s a little bit antsy to get out of the house, he also enjoys living with his parents because if he doesn’t have plans, he can easily tag along with his parents for dinner and help them in his off time. The rising number of young adults living with parents also aligns with recent marriage trends. Brown said that while young adults used to marry for the first time much younger, that age has now risen to 27 years old for women and 29 for men. Although marriage isn’t occurring until later in life, Dr. Susan Brown said cohabitating still happens at roughly 22, except these relationships can be “short lived,” after which young adults are more likely to return to living with their parents rather than living alone. The later average age for first marriage has a lot to do with the changing meaning of marriage and the different expectations, Brown said. “It’s not enough for a man to be a provider and the woman to be a good mother and housewife anymore,” she said. With the lowest marriage age bottoming out in the 1950s before beginning to rise drastically, people have married young and figured everything else in life out together, Brown said. Instead, marriage is now seen as a capstone, when everything else in life is in place, one is ready for marriage. “Until they surmount those hurdles they don’t feel ready for marriage. And for some, they will never surmount those hurdles,” she said. With economic inconsistency and later marriage ages resulting in more young adults living with parents, the family dynamic is affected. “This is particularly consequential for parents who are in that baby boomer

By Aidan Markey Sports Editor Twenty-two years after his time as a Bowling Green State University student came to an end, Bob Moosbrugger will return as the Falcons’ Director of Athletics. Moosbrugger, a former baseball player at Bowling Green, will be the 14th Director of Athletics for the University, following the resignation of Chris Kingston, who is leaving the University for a position at Learfield Sports. While the selection and hiring process was extremely fast, Moosbrugger feels confident and comfortable in his decision to return to the Falcons. “I (always) knew I wanted to be an athletic director” Moosbrugger said in his opening press conference, emphasizing the importance of being able to do so at his alma mater. At the press conference, held in the Stroh Center, University President Mary Ellen Mazey formally introduced Moosbrugger as the new Director of Athletics. Mazey noted that, in addition to his qualifications, Moosbrugger’s ideas and hopes for the University’s athletic programs impressed her and the members of Turnkey Sports, the organization who helped make the hiring decision. “I’m impressed with his vision for BGSU athletics,” Mazey said. “He is hardworking, (and) tough when he needs to be.” Moosbrugger was very specific about his

Office hours key for GSW students By Kayla Shadler Reporter Sometimes in life, people are forced to do what is good for them. In the case of the General Studies Writing program, that means requiring students to attend office hours. The GSW program requires all instructors to meet with their students at least twice throughout the semester and impose a consequence for students who fail to meet that requirement. Not attending office hours is typically recorded as an absence because attendance is emphasized to pass the class. Chad VanBuskirk, assistant director of GSW, said these required conferences are essential. “Certainly while many of the classroom activities and the comments the instructors or peers provide can be helpful, it really becomes necessary to have that one-onone face-to-face frequent conversation,” he said. “The instructor and the student are sitting in the same room so they have the opportunity to clarify whether the student has questions about the feedback the instructor provided or if the instructor has a question for the student.” Vanbuskirk said he has good attendance in the sections he teaches because the office hours are required. “I don’t think, at least in my own experiences, that students have made a concerted effort to skip out on the required meetings,” he said. “Missing a conference would count as missing a class so they are very conscious of that.” Freshman Amy Senn just completed GSW, said she found the required meetings very helpful. “I thought these meetings were very beneficial because it helped me solidify

improvement right away.” Jordan makes meetings mandatory for every paper. “My students seem to benefit a lot from the one-on-one feedback and so that’s why I hold more than two,” she said. Instructor Heather Jordan said required office hours are helpful because most of the students are in their first year of college. “We are typically working with freshman students because it is entry level writing so this helps them get comfortable with a faculty member,” she said. “Often times I find myself talking with students beyond just GSW about navigating college life and how to register for classes and recommendations for things, so it is useful in that way as well.” Vanbuskirk said meeting with the students makes the writing process more efficient, but only if there is effort shown from both student and instructor. “Both parties, the instructor and the student, really need to be actively engaged in the conversation for it to be effective,” he said. “Writing especially has to be a two-way street, and I think the required meetings really provide an opportunity of time and space for that to happen.” “The one-on-one time with an essay is really valuable,” Jones said. “They feel more comfortable asking questions when it is one on one; it is a more personal feeling.” “I don’t think if these required hours were in place I would have met with my teacher outside of the classroom ever,” Senn said. Required office hours also allow professors to treat students personally. “I think for our specific program and our requirements, students have individual issues and needs,” Jordan said. “By meeting with students one on one we are able to address students at their individual level, rather than treating it like a standard whole.

Continued from Page 9 generation,” Payne said. “Not only are these parents ceased with trying to support their young adult children, they’re trying to take care of their aging parents.” In some cases, when returning to their parents’ homes, young adults are moving back with their own children, Payne said. “They probably are experiencing the squeeze a lot more than the generation before them,” she said. Brown said living with parents longer is “redefining and illustrating this lengthening of emerging adulthood,” so it’s taking more time for young adults to enter a self-sustaining form of adulthood, rather than a dependent one. “I think it could be seen as a savvy solution to the current situation,” Payne said. “It does at some level make sense as cost of living increases and (as) young adults are leaving college ... many of them have a large amount of debt.” While she thinks it might be a type of solution, Payne said whether the living arrangements are a benefit or problem depends on each individual case. The condition has to be mutually beneficial. Brown noted that it’s the young adults
with lower education levels that are living with their parents, while those with college degrees are more likely to go on and live alone or get married and live with a romantic partner. She said the trend could be concerning as it’s most likely not the young adult’s first choice, but living with their parents is a last resort when they lack resources. “It’s another example of growing inequality in our society of people who are being left behind, who don’t have the education,” Brown said.

Nuisance parties a minor problem for the University
THE BG NEWS SUDOKU
By Tom Rodgers City Editor Of the University’s 17,000 students, only 15 have been issued nuisance party violations over the last year and a half, Student Legal Services attorney Rodney Fleming said. Fleming spoke last week at a People of Engagement Bowling Green meeting, an active community group that encourages non-partisan, grassroot initiatives about nuisance parties within the city. He said 10 students were ticketed for nuisance parties in 2015, and five students have been issued nuisance party tickets in 2016. According to the Student Legal Service’s handbook, a nuisance party is defined as a social gathering (two or more people) in which two or more violations related to partying occur. Violations include: excessive noise, underage consumption,

Fleming said at the meeting, Student Legal Services was created in response to housing issues faced by students in the early 1980’s. Students at the time felt that landlords were taking advantage of them. “It’s evolved into something more than just that. The notion is still for students to pool their money to participate. We look beyond the reason students have come in for,” Fleming said. Student Legal Services is available to all students who have paid the participation fee at the beginning of each semester. Fleming said the services has been reaching out to students, but student participation has been low. They have tables at Campus Fest, send Campus Updates and hold workshops for students. “We would only have one student show up,” he said. “Students aren’t ready a lot of the time to hear the info.” While participation is low, once students use the Legal Services, they aren’t likely to need the services again. “Ninety percent of our clients never come back. They go on to be successful contributors to society,” Fleming said. Fleming added that many students are not used to operating in the real world during their first year off campus, so education is a primary mission of Student Legal Services. However, educating students can be difficult because of the turnover universities experience. Many students are off-campus Bowling Green residents for two to three years, and leave upon graduation. Bowling Green Mayor Dick Edwards commended Fleming for the work he does. “He is truly a servant of the students,” Edwards said.

Continued from Page 8 being willing to make sacrifices.” In many cases, summer classes are a choice, but in others they are a difficult necessity to have in order to graduate on time or at least in a timely manner. “Lately I’ve been challenged to focus on the blessing of the opportunity to study (even if it is in the summer) rather than just complain about it, but I’m definitely still working on that,” Haymond said. Many students at the University buckle down and get what needs to be done by taking summer classes, and many prefer online classes because of the flexibility. Whether online or in-person, balancing school with the many other hardships and events may be difficult, especially in the summertime.
