Top 10: Geese on campus

Two geese stare each other down as they compare their superiority.
They are a heart-touching presence throughout the campus.

10. Artificial turf geese

I never see them.

9. Swimming pool geese

I’ve never had to swim in the pool, but I imagine the geese feathers to be quite unpleasant to swim in. They also poop all over the pool deck — quite nasty, especially when you’re walking around barefoot. 

8. Packs of geese

Looks like a big friend group, and it’s especially nice to see them in the sky. Imagine if they tried to gang up on a person though.

7. Roof geese

I wonder what they do up there…

6. Parking lot geese

I wouldn’t know, but isn’t it stressful having a bunch of huge metal contraptions moving around right next to you?!

5. Baby geese

Utterly, totally, absolutely, extremely, indubitably cute geese that are just minding their own business (unlike their parents sometimes). 

4. Unafraid geese

Sorry, geese, but I do not have any games on my phone, and I do not want to share my lunch with you.

3. Student center geese

I love these guys. These guys are my besties. You’re always welcome inside the student center, besties.

2. Aggressive geese

Go geese go! Defend your turf! Poop on their shoes!

1. Quad geese

Whenever I’m feeling down after a hard class, it’s always heartwarming to come across a chilling goose and its complimentary poop on the rare grass field we have on campus.
