7 Things You'd Only Understand If You Lived In Ada, Ohio
Ada

Ada, Ohio, is a really small town, and just like any small town, it has its quirks. As many residents of Ada will tell you, there are some things you don't know unless you live here.

1. Padrone's Delivery takes forever, but you still order it anyway.

Who knows why it takes forever, but it's good, and at least for me, some of my friends work there, so they get my business.

2. We may be a small town, but we have three bars.


When your friends say they're at the bar, who knows where they actually are... Little Mex, Regal Beagle, or the Cask Room?

3. Trains

The trains can be heard across town, and if you were hoping to get through quickly, better give up, because the trains will get you.

4. Ada Goggles

Ada goggles are a lot like beer goggles, but mostly with the college students. ONU doesn't really provide a lot of single, attractive people, so I've been told (I'm taken, so I don't really pay attention to attractiveness). So, Ada goggles are the idea that because of the low selection, students "take what they can get" and see what might not be attractive as attractive.

5. Jalapenos is good, but the smell that stays on you afterwards...

Jalapenos is a great Chipotle-esque resturant downtown, but for some reason you get a strange smell when you leave. It's worth it, but people who know the smell will know where you came from.

6. Corn


If you're from the city, get ready for a culture shock, because Ada is surrounded by corn.

7. Literally every NFL football is made here, though a lot of people don't realize that because we're such a small town.

We are very important to football in America, and yet no one really knows much about Ada, Ohio.

So, Ada may just be your typical small town, but we have our quirks. We should be famous, have a small private school, but yet are just a small town in northern Ohio.

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.
