5 Restaurants Everyone Should Visit In Athens, Ohio

Athens, Ohio is the brick road town that is home to Ohio University's main campus. It an adorable place full of so much life and history, so it goes without saying that I recommend everyone to visit there at least once! Here are five places you should visit the next time you're visiting us bobcats.

1. The North End

Brand new to Athens is the Court Street restaurant North End! If you want Tacos more than just on Tuesdays and a variety of margaritas to choose from, look no further than here.

2. Pigskin Bar and Grill

Every Wednesday, they offer a pound of wings for only $5, and trust me, they're delicious! Plus, the music they play is always dance-worthy.

3. Broney's Alumni Grill

@broneys_ou

Not only do they have amazing champagne slushies, but they also have good food too. You can grab dinner, stay for drinks and enjoy ladies' nights (during non-COVID times) on Fridays and Saturdays!

4. Donkey Coffee

@donkeycoffeeohio

Donkey is my personal favorite coffee shop. They have a very quiet, relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and an aesthetic vibe to the place with two floors of seating for you to enjoy. On certain nights (during non-COVID times), they even have open mic nights in their back room, where there's even a piano available for you to play! I love the staff and I could easily fall asleep on their many couches.

5. Brenen's Coffee Cafe

If you're looking for a bistro vibe and a bigger space to study, Brenen's is for you! They have great sandwich and coffee combos, a really big seating area, and tables wide enough for you to spread out all your materials for a study session. It has a more modern vibe than say, Donkey, and it's very popular.

All the wonderful places I've mentioned don't encompass all that Court Street or Athens has to offer in general, but it's a good preview! Keep your head on your shoulders though, because Athens happens (if you know, you know).

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

17 Times "Friends" Accurately Described Life

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
