11 Things I Won't Miss About Ohio State Over Summer

I'm talking about you, Tom W. Davis Clock Tower.

When college students go home for the summer, the things we miss most typically include our friends and having things to do at any time. But, let's face it, every college campus has things that we can use a break from and definitely won't miss. Here is my list for The Ohio State University.

1. Construction on High Street

Let's not forget the destruction of Mirror Lake, too. It seems as if construction never ends.

2. Tapingo

When arriving on campus, Tapingo seemed like the greatest invention ever. Well, that was until you arrived to pick up your order only to find that it had not even been started yet.

3. Walking across campus in the rain or snow


Having such a big campus can be a blessing and a curse.

Big campus = always meeting new people and finding new places to explore.

Big campus also = dreadful walks to class when it rains or snows (and you inevitably don't have an umbrella or raincoat).

4. Crowded CABS buses on those rainy/snowy days


Of course, nobody ever utilizes campus buses until it rains or snows. Have fun getting a seat or even just the space to stand. *Cue fake cough*

5. Exams (and studying in general)


Motivation declines as fall/spring break concludes.

6. Chemistry department


Welcome to Gen Chem, your nightmare that lasts all semester! Good luck... you'll need it.

7. Shower shoes

Because who doesn't love showering in flip-flops? Oh, don't forget the cold water and crappy water pressure!

8. No A/C in the old dorms


I definitely won't miss not having air conditioning. I also won't miss my leaky ceiling (it's sad when the ceiling is crying along with you).

9. Parking


I love that I can actually park without fighting for a spot or worrying about being ticketed or towed.

10. Fire alarms

No more walking down three flights of stairs at 2 a.m. because someone used the "popcorn" button on their microwave.

11. Tom W. Davis Clock Tower


One word, tOSU: ridiculous. As if the university didn't have better options to spend $1.4 million dollars on... oh yeah, like dorms that leak/flood and don't have A/C!

While there are some things about tOSU that I hate and won't miss over summer, there's no campus I'd rather return to in the fall. O-H-I-O!

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:

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.
