8 Signs You're From Ohio
Defensive Driving Advice

Sometimes there are just some definitive traits that show you're definitely from Ohio and you didn't even realize that you do or have them. Here is a list of a few things you might subconsciously do if you're from the best state in America- Ohio!

1. You Probably Say You're From Cleveland, Columbus Or Cincinnati

When people ask you where you are from you probably say one of the big cities in Ohio, lets face it- nobody knows where Amherst, Ohio is unless they are from there or right around there. This is just the easier way to do it.

2. If You Say You Go To College In Ohio, Most Will Assume That You Mean THE Ohio State University

This is always so annoying. I go to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio- thank you very much.

NOT

3. Chances Are Your High School Probably Had A "Bring Your Tractor To School Day"

If you're from a small town in Ohio, you most likely had this at your high school- whether you actually brought a tractor, or despised this day because you couldn't find a parking spot in the entire parking lot that day.


4. If You Are Actually From Cleveland- Everyone Assumes You Know Everything About Cleveland Sports

This happens quite a bit. Yeah- I get the overall idea of our sport teams, but I do not watch every single game or read every single stat, so if you want to know about the Cavaliers- you should probably just research it for yourself.

5. If You Did Not Grow Up In The Actual Cities Of Columbus, Cleveland Or Cincinnati- You Most Likely Grew Up Across The Street From A Corn Field

This is practically a given in Ohio, just like if you aren't on a major highway, you are traveling down back roads and dirt roads.

6. You Were Born Hating The Entire State of *ichigan

We don't use the M, because it is a curse word in Ohio.

7. You Are VERY Used To Dressing For Every Season- Every Day

In Ohio, you'll wake up and it'll be cold and rainy and sunny and 75 degrees by 2 pm.

8. Lastly, This Is What The Map Of Ohio Really Looks Like


Being from Ohio is definitely a blessing and a curse. All in all I have loved being raised here, from the corny jokes to pronouncing "wash" like "warsh." I have amazing friends and family that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. As much as I would love to live in California or on the west coast, I would miss the ways of life here. I will never take Ohio for granted. Ohio is where I came from. Ohio is home.

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.
