Wayne County, a county hardly known by the rest of the world but home to over 100,000 people, has many aspects that make it unique. Here are 10 signs you live in Wayne County, Ohio.

1. You know Wooster is pronounced Wuh-ster and not Wooooooster.


2. You can’t go 10 miles down the highway without passing a Grandpa’s Cheesebarn billboard and a sign reminding you that Hell is, in fact, real.

3. “Drive your tractor to school day” is as anxiously awaited as prom.

4. The smell of Lerch’s donuts is identifiable from a mile away.

5. Taking a week off school to show your animals at the Wayne County Fair is no big deal.


6. The closest mall is a good hour away...but it’s okay, you were just there a month ago.

7. In the summer, no matter where you are, you can see the corn growing in the distance.


And, more importantly, you know it’ll be knee high by the 4th of July!

8. Having to slow down behind an Amish buggy is a common occurrence.

9. Colleges are everywhere.

Between the University of Akron Wayne College, the College of Wooster, and the OSU ATI, living at home while attending college is easy.

10. And finally, as much as you hate living in a small town, your community is like family, and you’ll never find another county that compares.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
