10 Things You Know To Be True If You Grew Up In Lewis Center
Columbus Dispatch

Growing up in Lewis Center was full of experiences unique to the small city we call home. Here are 10 things you absolutely know to be true if you're from good ole Lewis Center, Ohio.

1. Going to Kroger is practically a school reunion: better look nice for a Kroger trip because there is no chance of not seeing someone you know.

2. Alum Creek was your go-to place in the summer as a kid. By the time you could actually drive there yourself you never wanted to go because you realized how disgusting it is.

3. Whether you could ice skate or not, you were at Friday night meltdown at the Chiller in seventh grade. Why freeze outside in the winter when you can freeze inside, while falling!

4. High School football games could rival those in the south. One word: drumline

5. You knew to expect the entire student section (and an hour wait before you get your food) at Steak 'n Shake after one of those high school games: slightly claustrophobic

6. No matter how much you try to explain that you go to the original Olentangy, you will still get asked if that is Orange or Liberty. What did i just say?!

7. The news of sticky fingers coming back is talked about more than Pokémon Go and Donald Trump combined. Finally my summer can be complete again

8. Even though no one really has any idea why, the number seven was once the funniest thing. How the least funniest thing in history spread like wildfire will always be a mystery to me.

9. I will never understand what is so hard to understand that Old State before Orange Road is 55 mph. It's literally posted on signs, why are you going 45?

10. You’re not truly a resident if you haven’t at least once called it the LC. "Ugh, why is there nothing to do in the LC?" "I don't know, want to go to Kroger?"

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
