We only have a few more weeks until we go back, so it's time to reminisce about the things we miss about OSU.

1. The independence

Let's start this list off with one of the biggest things we're missing: the independence that comes with college. You're away from your family. You control your own schedule and time. You're in charge of how every day goes, and that's something that, while living at home during the summer, you don't completely have.

2. Game day

Whether you're there for the school spirit, the energy, or because you love the game, OSU's football games have got you covered. They're a huge part of our school and a great part of the college experience!

3. Friday nights

Anything can happen...

4. The Short North

The Short North has clothing stores, food, coffee, and great energy. If you are looking for something to do, I can guarantee that the Short North has something for you.

5. The Oval dogs

I swear, I see more dogs at college than anywhere else, and that brings me such joy! The Oval dogs can make my day go from bad to great instantly!

6. Treating the Oval like the beach

When the weather is good, the best place to be is the Oval. Students can be found playing sports, tanning, playing with dogs, napping, etc. It's such a good atmosphere when you need to get away from the stress of classes.

7. The Columbus coffee scene

Now, I know not everyone is as addicted to coffee as I am, but there are so many coffee shops around campus that you're bound to find one that you love. There's One Line Coffee, Mission, Short North Coffee, and Kafé Kerouac just to name a few.

8. German Village

If you've entirely explored the Short North, go a little farther and check out the German Village. It's a quaint area of Columbus and has MORE coffee shops, restaurants, and most importantly, The Book Loft. Picture endless (or 32) rooms full of books. It's a dream and the perfect place to find your next favorite book!

9. Fox in the Snow's coffee cake

Speaking of coffee shops, this specific shop gets a special shout out for their coffee cake. Just trust me on this.

10. The people

The thing we all miss most is the people that we don't get to see every day during the summer. These people are the ones that really make the college experience, and I cannot wait to get to see them again!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
