As another semester at Ohio State comes to a close, I am reminded of the many emotions associated with another year at the best school in the country coming to a close. Here are 11 feelings you will have when leaving your beloved, Ohio State.
1. Exhaustion.
You have been to Thompson more times in the past week than you have the whole entire semester.
2. Happiness.
Exams are over. Goodbye academics, hello summertime.
3. Excitement.
You get to go home and tell everyone how great your year at the greatest place on earth was.
4. Denial.
Leaving Ohio State? it's fine, I've spent the last 10 months of my life here. I'll be alright.
5. Sadness.
When you realize you have to pack up your room, and leave all your besties, after spending every waking moment together.
6. Nostalgia.
You start reflecting on your year, looking through photographs and friend's Facebook albums.
7. Jealousy.
It strikes when you know people who are staying in "the bus" for the summer and already call Columbus their permanent home.
8. Anger.
It hits you when you realize you will have to go back home, which is great and all but it isn't Ohio State and also doesn't have Adriatico's Pizza.
9. Acceptance.
Telling yourself it's only three months and summer will be fun, right?
10. Joy.
You know you will return. Ohio State is not just a school but something that becomes a part of every single student who attends this blessed University.
11. Pride.
You go to the Ohio State University. How many people get to say that? Go Bucks, forever.
