8 Thoughts Ohio State Students Have The Week They Play Xichigan
Alexis Collins

It's finally time for Ohio State to beat The Team Up North again and Ohio State students are more ready than ever. The draining of Mirror Lake cannot stop the Buckeye spirit.

Should I sell my ticket because I'm broke or go to the best game of the season?

As fun as the Michigan game is, there are days when 500 dollars sounds a lot better. Student tickets don't always go for that much, but if your tickets are in Block O, that's a pretty accurate count. The experience will always beat the money because watching the game on the TV screen while all of your friends are there is not even half as fun.

Did they really HAVE to drain Mirror Lake?

While I understand that it is for the safety of the students, draining Mirror Lake seems a little dramatic. If the students want to jump in, we should be allowed. Everyone should assume their own responsibility if they jump because we know what can happen. Not to mention, draining is just a lot more effort than was actually necessary.

All the X's must have taken a lot of time to put up

There are A LOT of M's around campus, so taking the time to cover them up is no easy feat. Major props to the people who take the time to put them all up. From McPherson to the Medical Center, they have every single one covered.

If we lose to Michigan, I'm dropping off the face of the Earth

This is the most anticipated game of the year for Ohio State fans, which really puts the pressure on. From shameless jabs at Michigan, nearly every day of the year to the immense trash talking the day of the game, I don't even want to think of what a loss feels like.

How does one stay warm and look spirited?

The ultimate challenge for later season games. The cold definitely limits what you can wear, but scarlet and gray must prevail as the main colors of the day. They make clothes specifically for this day, just check out Clothing Underground or any of the Instagram pages that make clothes for block. Throw on gloves and a hat and it's like it's not even that cold out.

Is 3 a.m. too early to start tailgating?

Probably not. People start as soon as they get back to campus from Thanksgiving break. Morale is at an all-time high and people are fueled by Thanksgiving dinner and hatred for Michigan. It's a great day to be a Buckeye.

Michigan is not even that good

Regardless what the rankings show right now, Michigan has not beaten Ohio State in years. They really do not have much backing of any claim that they are better because they can never seem to beat us.

Go bucks. That's all.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
