The Ohio State Bucket List

Time to start planning for the upcoming year.

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.

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.
