10 Signs You Know You Had A Great 'Kegs and Eggs' Weekend

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cULXABCWc/

Homecoming weekend at Ohio University, otherwise known as Kegs and Eggs, is a staple of OU. Day drinking (rather, morning drinking), football, and alumni coming hOUme, there isn't a better combination. Homecoming Weekend 2019 is a little different than many in the past though, due to the frats being suspended, sororities receiving letters of cease and desist, and even the Marching 110 being under investigation, this weekend was one for the books.

1. By Monday morning alcohol is the last thing on your mind

Giphy

At any college, the thought of "I'm never drinking again" is a typical thought to have come Monday morning. At Ohio University during Homecoming Weekend, this thought on Monday will for sure be a tell-tale sign that you threw some (or a lot) back this weekend, and hopefully had a good time.

2. Sunday night you felt more sleep deprived than normal

Giphy

Waking up early, especially on the weekends, is hard in general. Adding a day long of drinking, going out, watching the football game, and hanging out with friends just adds to the fun while also adding to the expense of being exhausted.

3. Heard the phrase "One bad seed doesn't ruin the entire pumpkin patch" at least once

Giphy

Whether you're an alumni or current student, if you heard this sign, it most definitely shows you're up to date with the OU drama.

4. Visited Pumpkin The Cat IRL

Homecoming weekend should be about enjoying everything there is OU has to offer as of 2019, and Pumpkin The Cat who lives at the Board of Elections is definitely someone who needs to be visited.

5. Ate some eggs (or some other type of good food)

Giphy

Although Homecoming Weekend tends to focus on the "kegs" part of Kegs and Eggs, you'll need to stomach something to be able to survive a weekend filled of activities. Whether it was eggs, Casa Nueva, Bagel Street Deli, or some other restaurant uptown, OU has some good food to offer.

6. You watched the game

Giphy

The Saturday afternoon football game is the basis for Homecoming Weekend. If you paid a visit to Peden Stadium (whether it was to watch the entire game, or leave after the Marching 110 played at halftime) you accomplished one of the most predominant aspects of the weekend.

7. Appreciated the scenery

Giphy

Ohio University (Athens' campus) is one of the arguably most beautiful places in the United States. Despite Ohio getting shit on often for numerous things, it did one thing right: had a beautiful southeastern university.

8. Walked up Jeff Hill/Morton Hill/Bryan Stairs and didn't die

Kaylee Smith

For current students and alumni alike, these three inclines are NOT enjoyable. If you were able to get up them without being completely out of breath, you should feel accomplished.

9. Caught up with friends

Giphy

Whether it be at a bar uptown, College Green, or at a coffee shop, hanging out with friends during Homecoming Weekend is a must.

10. Appreciated the fact that it you don't/didn't attend Miami University

Giphy

Need I say more?

Kegs and Eggs weekend 2019 was one for the books. Although things are continually changing around Ohio University, such as dorms being torn down and new additions being added to uptown, OU students and alumni are able to appreciate the present while remembering the past.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
