17 Safe Things My Roomie And I Have Done To Have Fun At College In A Global Pandemic

#5: Communicate with each other exclusively through John Mulaney impressions.

1. Watch "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

Here is the longest fight scene you'll ever watch in your life (but also the best, obviously).

2. Walk a total of three miles up and down The Short North for literally no reason

But we did get to take the funky photo you see at the top.

3. Spend three hours and buckets of blood, sweat, and tears trying to assemble our LED strip lights and actually get them to work

4. Try out Peace Tea, an iced tea available at the best dining location on campus, Marketplace on Neil

It is very good and we are very obsessed.

5. Communicate with each other exclusively through John Mulaney impressions

6. Host two-person dance parties while blasting AJR and setting our LED strip lights to "seven color strobe flash"

Yes, I know you were worried, but we did finally get them working.

7. Go to Target

Don't worry, our masks were on, because masks do actually help stop the spread of viral infection, in case you are one of those people out there who didn't know.

8. Buy iced coffee at the Starbucks inside Target

See the dance party listed at #6.

9. Bring bath towels out to The Oval at 11 p.m. to lay on while we try to watch Jump In with a shoddy internet connection for 30 minutes, at which point our Sloopy's orders were ready and we went back inside

10. Take a girls' trip to pick up a prescription I accidentally sent to a CVS two miles away

11. Lay in bed for hours complaining about classes starting and coping by sending each other memes

This one still makes us laugh a week after we saw it.

12. Watch "Another Cinderella Story" and laugh the most at Jane Lynch's lines, every single one of which is gold

Here is our favorite scene (just the first 27 seconds).

13. Inspire endless amounts of content for our respective Twitter feeds and private stories on Snapchat

Because I told her I would plug it: follow Sarah on Twitter at @DruhanSarah.

14. Get Jeni's Ice Cream delivered through Postmates for a total of $40

But! The delivery was free.

15. Watch "Looks That Kill," a movie about a guy who has to wear bandages around his face all the time because he is just so gosh darn handsome he kills anyone who looks his way

16. Take out our always-full garbage full of iced coffee cups, Sloopy's takeout containers, and cans upon cans of Peace Tea

Don't worry, the Peace Tea went in the recycling.

17. And throughout it all, the ups and downs, the movies and the Peace Teas, we were truly Together as Buckeyes

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
