8 Signs You're From Ohio
Defensive Driving Advice

Sometimes there are just some definitive traits that show you're definitely from Ohio and you didn't even realize that you do or have them. Here is a list of a few things you might subconsciously do if you're from the best state in America- Ohio!

1. You Probably Say You're From Cleveland, Columbus Or Cincinnati

When people ask you where you are from you probably say one of the big cities in Ohio, lets face it- nobody knows where Amherst, Ohio is unless they are from there or right around there. This is just the easier way to do it.

2. If You Say You Go To College In Ohio, Most Will Assume That You Mean THE Ohio State University

This is always so annoying. I go to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio- thank you very much.

NOT

3. Chances Are Your High School Probably Had A "Bring Your Tractor To School Day"

If you're from a small town in Ohio, you most likely had this at your high school- whether you actually brought a tractor, or despised this day because you couldn't find a parking spot in the entire parking lot that day.


4. If You Are Actually From Cleveland- Everyone Assumes You Know Everything About Cleveland Sports

This happens quite a bit. Yeah- I get the overall idea of our sport teams, but I do not watch every single game or read every single stat, so if you want to know about the Cavaliers- you should probably just research it for yourself.

5. If You Did Not Grow Up In The Actual Cities Of Columbus, Cleveland Or Cincinnati- You Most Likely Grew Up Across The Street From A Corn Field

This is practically a given in Ohio, just like if you aren't on a major highway, you are traveling down back roads and dirt roads.

6. You Were Born Hating The Entire State of *ichigan

We don't use the M, because it is a curse word in Ohio.

7. You Are VERY Used To Dressing For Every Season- Every Day

In Ohio, you'll wake up and it'll be cold and rainy and sunny and 75 degrees by 2 pm.

8. Lastly, This Is What The Map Of Ohio Really Looks Like


Being from Ohio is definitely a blessing and a curse. All in all I have loved being raised here, from the corny jokes to pronouncing "wash" like "warsh." I have amazing friends and family that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. As much as I would love to live in California or on the west coast, I would miss the ways of life here. I will never take Ohio for granted. Ohio is where I came from. Ohio is home.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
