5 Adventures You Have To Go On This Summer In Ohio

1. Hocking Hills State Park

19852 Ohio 664, Logan, OH 43138

Oh my goodness, I can't even explain how beautiful Hocking Hills is. There are an abundance of caves, hidden waterfalls, bridges, and 6-mile long hiking trails. You can go on tours or explore the scenic trails with a few friends. You also have the option of staying over night in a log cabin, (which have hot tubs). The cabins are set at a decent price and some packages even include zip-lining! There is also archery... which is kinda cool? Definitely something new! If you haven't already been, I suggest you explore Old Man's Cave and Cedar Falls. They are must sees!

2. Cincinnati Museum Center

1301 Western Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45214

This is the number one, coolest museum in Ohio! I think the best part about this museum is that they are constantly changing their exhibits, so when you keep going back you'll never see the same thing twice. Right now they have a viking theme going on which is pretty interesting. I'm obsessed with their ice age and dinosaur exhibits. Tickets are only $19.50, which isn't too bad for a days worth of fun!

3. Franklin Park Conservatory

1777 E Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43203

Explore the crazy, weird plants in the botanical gardens and learn how to blow glass in the Hot Shop. Beautiful art is scattered all throughout the building and there are lots and lots of butterflies. There is also an adorable café with fresh coffee and food made from scratch! General admission is $14.


4. Primavista

810 Matson Pl, Cincinnati, OH 45204.

This is an upscale Italian restaurant in downtown Cincinnati (not the scary part) that lets you view the entire city. Reviews are 4.6/5 and many people describe this restaurant as "breathtaking", "like a scene from a movie", and even say it is a restaurant "where the food is as captivating as the view". Their menu ranges from vegetarian and vegan options to big juicy steaks. This is a place you have to check out because it truly is beautiful.

5. Headlands Beach State Park

9601 Headlands Rd, Mentor, OH 44060

A beach in Ohio? Yes..kinda sorta. It's actually Lake Erie but is just as beautiful as an open ocean. Headlands Beach is the longest natural beach in Ohio and has been ranked as the best beach in Ohio on previous occasions. Surrounding the beach there are numerous hiking trails that allow you to take in spectacular views of your surroundings. There is so much history to learn about the land as it was an indian trail long long ago!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
