My Return To Ohio

Returning To My Home State And Country

My Return To Ohio
The Club At The Ohio State University

It has been an amazing past few months. I have learned so much at Queen Mary and much more from London. I have experienced their culture and I honestly feel as if I became part of the community while I was there. It was all just so inviting and the entire city was so accepting of me and it was just an amazing place to be, but all good things must come to an end. While I loved London and everything it brought with it, I knew I had to come home and fall back into my normal life.

While coming back from London was a hassle in itself due to American Airlines making me book a new flight for being one minute late for baggage check then the new flight was canceled and I had to schedule another flight, not to mention the jerk that sat next to me and the fact that they left one of my bags in Chicago. Thankfully, however, I made it back to Ohio, albeit several hours later than I had planned, and my luggage was returned to me the next day.

I have to say, it is awesome to be back home. As I said, I loved London and I would not be opposed to return one day, but that feeling of finally returning home, to the place where one has lived a good chunk of my life, is something that I think everyone craves and desires. Everyone possesses a desire to return home, to not only the building that offers them shelter, but to their loved ones that love and support them unconditionally. That is what I felt when I saw my parents for the first time in over five months; unconditional love and genuine happiness over my return.

Even my friends, who I had been keeping in contact with through Facebook and Skype, were happy to see me. We made it a point to meet several times in the weeks of my return and I could not have been happier. Well, I could had I not been figuratively and literally smacked by Mother Nature and allergies. After a week of dying from pollen, dust, and various other things that, I finally began to get reacclimated to Ohio and, while things can be rather slow when compared to a city like London, it is home.

Thing have been rather nice since my return, other than allergies which are never nice. Seeing my friends and family has filled a hole in my heart that I had felt since first going to London. Even with constant contact with them, it is nothing like seeing everyone face to face. London was truly an incredible experience, but I cannot be happier back home here in Ohio.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
