15 Signs You Are From The Great State Of Ohio

wikimedia.org

I love living and being from Ohio but lets be honest, Ohio has its flaws. Like most Midwestern states, Ohio can be really boring and frustrating. From our bipolar weather, to our love for all things football. Ohio is one of the those states that you really have no intentions of going to. But for us Ohioans, we get the pleasure of calling the great state home. Here are some of the clear signs to tell if you were born and raised in the state that everyone likes to hate.

1. Your plans for the weekend include going to Walmart and aimlessly driving around with your BFF's listening to music.

If you didn't, what did you actually do?

2. You have a cornfield at least five minutes away from your house

If you were lucky, they were in your back yard

3. Every summer picnic you went to has Cornhole

Who knew throwing bean bags could be so much fun?

4. You have a love for all things buckeyes

Whether it's for the tree, the nut, or the peanut butter stuffed candy

5. O-H

Every true Ohioan knows that if someone yells O-H, you have to scream back I-O!

6. Pot holes are your mortal enemy

R.I.P. brand new car....

7.You give directions by how far a major city is from the place you are going

Cleveland is only like 20 minutes from here.

8. You have a love/hate for Lebron James

You either love him or hate him. There is no in between.

9. You have been to Cedar Point or King's Island at least once in your life

It's your home away from home.

10. To you Cedar Point is the equivalent to Disneyland

Ride on, ride warriors!!

11. You still love the Browns even though they are the biggest disappointment

12. You can't call yourself a true Ohioan if you like both the Browns and the Bengals

You can't like both. It's like common knowledge.

13. To you, Urban Meyer is the greatest man alive

The man, the myth, the legend.

14. You get extremely excited when a celebrity or major film announces they are coming or filming in or around your city

It is a truly rare occurrence.

And lastly......

15. You complain about how much you hate Ohio even though you actually love it

Because Ohio is really the Heart of it All.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
