I can't believe I'm about to say goodbye to my second home one last time. This isn't like summer vacation where I say goodbye to my apartment and friends for a few months. This is it. I'm so lucky that I've been able to call such a unique place like Athens my home away from home for the past four years. There is no other town like Athens, and obviously no other campus like Ohio University.

My days in Athens are limited, so I can't help but get a little bit nostalgic and think about what I'm going to miss most here.

1. The cheapest alcohol in the history of ever.

2. Crystal popcorn paired with a strawberry daiquiri yardstick.

3. Sitting front row at Black Sheep Improv shows every week.

4. People-watching in Baker.

5. Skipping class on a nice day to lay out at Strouds.

6. Everything about Fun Barn.

7. Sunday Funday's at Courtside.

8. Listening to an absurd amount of Creed at the bars.

9. Bachelor Monday's with my roommates.

10. Hiking in The Ridges.

11. Hearing the most epic stories from my really idiotic friends.

12. Curing my hangovers with Bagel Street Deli.

13. Shively mac 'n cheese.

14. Having 14 bars within walking distance of my apartment.

15. Finding any excuse to drink on a weekday.

16. Living with my homies.

The list could truly go on because if I haven't made myself clear, Athens is the most amazing college town on the face of the planet. I'll miss you, Athens. I'm already counting down the days until Homecoming.

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.
