11 Things I Won't Miss About Ohio State Over Summer

I'm talking about you, Tom W. Davis Clock Tower.

When college students go home for the summer, the things we miss most typically include our friends and having things to do at any time. But, let's face it, every college campus has things that we can use a break from and definitely won't miss. Here is my list for The Ohio State University.

1. Construction on High Street

Let's not forget the destruction of Mirror Lake, too. It seems as if construction never ends.

2. Tapingo

When arriving on campus, Tapingo seemed like the greatest invention ever. Well, that was until you arrived to pick up your order only to find that it had not even been started yet.

3. Walking across campus in the rain or snow


Having such a big campus can be a blessing and a curse.

Big campus = always meeting new people and finding new places to explore.

Big campus also = dreadful walks to class when it rains or snows (and you inevitably don't have an umbrella or raincoat).

4. Crowded CABS buses on those rainy/snowy days


Of course, nobody ever utilizes campus buses until it rains or snows. Have fun getting a seat or even just the space to stand. *Cue fake cough*

5. Exams (and studying in general)


Motivation declines as fall/spring break concludes.

6. Chemistry department


Welcome to Gen Chem, your nightmare that lasts all semester! Good luck... you'll need it.

7. Shower shoes

Because who doesn't love showering in flip-flops? Oh, don't forget the cold water and crappy water pressure!

8. No A/C in the old dorms


I definitely won't miss not having air conditioning. I also won't miss my leaky ceiling (it's sad when the ceiling is crying along with you).

9. Parking


I love that I can actually park without fighting for a spot or worrying about being ticketed or towed.

10. Fire alarms

No more walking down three flights of stairs at 2 a.m. because someone used the "popcorn" button on their microwave.

11. Tom W. Davis Clock Tower


One word, tOSU: ridiculous. As if the university didn't have better options to spend $1.4 million dollars on... oh yeah, like dorms that leak/flood and don't have A/C!

While there are some things about tOSU that I hate and won't miss over summer, there's no campus I'd rather return to in the fall. O-H-I-O!

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
