Where can I get an athlete puffer coat?

It's that time of the year again...winter. The snow and cold can only be made worse by the fact that we go to school at one of the largest campuses in the entire United States.

1. Is it even worth going to class?

Let’s face it: that walk to Campbell Hall from your North Campus dorm doesn’t seem appealing at any point during the year, but especially when there’s snow on the ground and you can barely have any of your skin uncovered. Your 8 a.m., 9:10, and 10:20 all seem pretty unappealing at this point.

2. How do I get an athlete puffer coat?

Every athlete has one, so why shouldn't you? Probably because you aren't putting in the same work they are. These coats can be found all over campus, usually surrounded by athletes wearing the exact same coat. The cold would be a little more bearable if you had this as an option.

3. Is it time to transfer?

It’s easy to be tempted by the allure of a small college campus when the temperatures are in the single digits. Ohio State is definitely great, but being warm and not having to walk a mile in the snow seems pretty tempting.


4. Am I going to make the next bus?

I do more calculations about what time I need to get out of bed to make the bus in time than I do my math classes. It’s better to wait nine minutes for a bus than walk ten minutes in the cold. It’s all fun and games until you miss your bus and have to walk the ten minutes for class, though.


5. Why do we not have snow days?


It’s pretty frustrating when the tweets start rolling in about other colleges closing who are about half your size. Does the administration not realize the struggle of walking across one of the largest campuses in the country?


6. Is it almost spring break?

The cold? Unbearable. Classes at this point in the semester? Also unbearable. Each day brings you a little closer to spring break, though. Just imagine the palm trees and hanging out on the beach (if you can afford it at least). You just need to make it through ~2 more months of the extreme cold (and extremely difficult classes).

Good luck out in the cold, Buckeyes. I believe in you.

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.
