15 Ways You Know You’re a True Badger

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.

 

Now we know UW-Madison is the best school in the nation, but what exactly sets us badgers a part from the rest? In honor of our last two game days coming up (BEAT IU and Penn State!), here’s a short list of why us badgers are the finest around…

 

  1. We LOVE the Memorial Union Terrace, especially when it’s hot and sunny
  2. We get in shape while trekking up Bascom Hill
  3. Oh yeah, we sled down Bascom Hill
  4. We love eating those McTaggarts breakfast sandwiches (specifically at 3am)
  5. Everyone has taken or been in a classic capitol pic
  6. We’re food cart fiends
  7. Class? How bout Friday after class (FAC) at KK
  8. We take walks on Lake Mendota during the winter
  9. We have one of the best farmers markets—can someone say cheesy bread?
  10. We love to bike/run/walk on the lakeshore path
  11. Memorial and college library are our second homes (or maybe that’s just me…)
  12. We want Mifflin back!
  13. We bleed red and white…all the time. 
  14. Sometimes we actually make it to a football game
  15. And even if we don’t…we JUMP AROUND anyway!

Well there you go my fellow collegiates, the top reasons why we are the greatest school in the US!
