1. Jeff Davis Skeleton: Ragersville

Located about an hour south of Akron, there is a display of the skeleton of Jeff Davis who made several rape attempts. In 1872, he was beaten by locals, struck over the head with a fire-poker and then shot three times, which did not initially kill him. So locals decided to take Davis to the outskirts of town and finish him off by lynching.

2. Cholera Cemetery: Sandusky

Sandusky is widely known for its theme park, Cedar Point, but many are unaware of the Cholera epidemic that plagued Ohio in 1849. Over 400 Sandusky natives died from the epidemic and the majority were buried this mass grave.

3. Mansfield Reformatory: Mansfield

If you have seen the film "The Shawshank Redemption," then you have seen the Mansfield Reformatory. Also known as the Ohio State Reformatory, it opened its doors in 1896 and housed over 155,000 men until closing in 1990. Today, it attracts tourists and paranormal investigators who believe it is haunted.

4. James A. Garfield Tomb: Cleveland

Assassinated in 1881, the 20th President of the United States' final resting place is located within Lake View Cemetery at the James A. Garfield Monument. What separates this presidential monument from all others is that Garfield's casket along with his wife's are on full display, their bodies resting peacefully inside

5. The Ruppert House: Hamilton

On Easter Sunday 1975, James Ruppert massacred 11 members of his family. They were shot a total of 35 times. Those family members include his mother, brother, sister-in-law, along with eight nieces and nephews ages 4-17. Ruppert called the police three hours after the shooting telling them, "there's been a shooting here."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
