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!

Coming from someone majoring in business at a school that thrives off of business majors, I know how rough it can be sometimes. Being a business major can be awesome, and awful, simultaneously. We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
