6 Things That Happen When You Go To OSU But Aren't A Football Fan
Taylor Ashmore

Yes, you heard me right. I attend THE Ohio State University but am not a fan of football. Crazy right?How can someone born and raised in Ohio not learn to love the game? I definitely appreciate just how big of a deal OSU football is (I even have season tickets), but people are definitely shocked when I say that I am not a football fan.

1. People are confused why you bothered to get season tickets.


Just because I don't like football doesn't mean I don't love the atmosphere!

2. Everyone is shocked when you don't know who *certain* players are.


I honestly do not pay attention. Their helmets are covering their faces half the time anyways.

3. You always make sure to turn the away games on...even if you're not necessarily watching it.


I can genuinely say I've "watched" every game this year, even if it was on in the background while I was doing homework.

4. If you forget that there was a game, you still make sure to check the score so you're in the loop.


On the off chance that I'm not watching like in #3, you can bet I'll at least look up the score so I won't get weird looks at classes the next week.

5. Your parents always start your conversations with "did you see the game?"


Yes, yes I did. I was there actually.

6. You're mainly there for the band anyways, tbh.


After all, it is the best damn band in the land.

Don't get me wrong, Ohio State football is great, but there are also many other things it offers. For now, though, I'll be cheering on the Bucks every Saturday just like every other student.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
