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.
