PSA: Less Than One Month Until Bobcats Are Back Home

Zach Woods

As I currently type this, it is exactly one month from the first day of syllabus week for Ohio University students, and you know what that means? It’s officially less than one month until everyone will be back in the promise land that is Athens, Ohio. If you weren’t already setting your countdown apps, crossing out the days on your calendar, and beginning to pack… now is the time!

Now that we have OU on the brain, here are some reminders of exactly what is waiting for us when we come back. And if you’re going to be a freshman this fall, then here is exactly what you have to look forward to for the next four years.

If you have to study and exercise, at least you get to be here:

Emeriti Park

The 6thand 7th floor of Alden

College Green

The ARC

Ping

Bong Hill

Strouds

Bike Trail

FOOD:

Dining Halls -- mainly Nelson (free!!!)

Big Mama's

GoodFellas (my mouth is watering...)

Bagel Street Deli (sweet Jesus, it's Heaven)

Miller's Chicken (best chicken you'll ever have!)

Whit's

Souvlaki's

O'Betty's

Gran Ran(chero)

Ginger

DP Dough (open all the time!)

COFFEE:

Night Life:

Amongst all the physical aspects, we are most excited to get back to our friends and all the other Bobcats. The campus is beautiful, and the events are the best, but the vibes when everyone comes hOUme are incomparable.

Excited yet?

Get ready, Athens -- because Bobcat fam is coming home.

Why are girls consistently so late? They just can't help it. Our internal clocks are always just a few minutes behind, or maybe more for some of us. Arriving on time to class is a challenge every morning. If you're continually finding yourself being the last one to walk into class, here are 13 possible reasons why you didn't quite make it on time.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Girls; they're notoriously late.

1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated

2. You tried on 20 different outfits

3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara

4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media

5. You were trying to impress someone

6. You forgot to check the weather

7. You just don't mind being THAT girl

8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs

9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside

10. You debated too long on skipping class

11. Your roommate steals the shower before you

12. You're rewarding yourself for being on time last week

13. You overslept your alarm

Living in the dorms can tear down your immune system.

1. Drink lots of tea with honey.

2. Get a good amount of rest.

3. Make an appointment with the health center or at a doctor's office.

4. Stock up on soup and crackers.

5. If you are able to, go home.
