The Ohio State Bucket List

1. Mirror Lake Jump

Every year people celebrate their hatred for Michigan by jumping into a freezing cold pond and chanting, "We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan."

2. The Senior Bar Crawl

Thousands of seniors (and some sneaky underclassmen...I knew a girl who went every year) in white t-shirts go to the various bars on High Street and check off where they've gone. This is an all day belligerent adventure.

3. BuckeyeThon

BuckeyeThon is a giant fundraiser for kids with cancer where you dance non-stop for one of the twelve hour shifts. Each year, a couple of kids are chosen to be guests of honor and get to stand on a stage while thousands of people cheer them on.

4. Light Up The Lake

The service club the Ohio Staters puts on an amazing show filled with music acts from Ohio State clubs and the theater school to celebrate unveiling the christmas light covered trees surrounding Mirror Lake. It's absolutely beautiful and a cheap date too.

5. Michigan Game

Ok this list wouldn't be complete without it. You have to attend at least one football game and if you're going to do it, do it right with a Michigan game. There's nothing like screaming "rip his f***ing head off" with 100,000 of your closest friends.

6. Canes

You have to try Canes. The Box Combo, no slaw, extra toast, butter both sides. It's fried chicken, but really it's so much more than just fried chicken.

7. Day At The Oval Beach

Skip the books for one day and go chill on the Oval Beach. Be college as hell and play frisbee or be that guy who brings their dog so he can meet pretty girls that are laying out without seeming too creepy.

8. The Whisper Wall

If you have a few minutes between classes go check out the Whisper Wall. Stand on the opposite end of the wall and say something quietly close to the step, your friend can hear you thirty feet away!

9. Rock Climbing At The ARC

Yes, it's far from campus, but take the 5min bus ride and go rock climbing. It's a ton of fun and free. So seriously what more could you ask for?

10. 11th Floor Of Thompson

Go piss someone off on the quietest part of campus. I dare you bring a bag of chips.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
