The Ohio State Bucket List

Time to start planning for the upcoming year.

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.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
