We only have a few more weeks until we go back, so it's time to reminisce about the things we miss about OSU.
1. The independence
Let's start this list off with one of the biggest things we're missing: the independence that comes with college. You're away from your family. You control your own schedule and time. You're in charge of how every day goes, and that's something that, while living at home during the summer, you don't completely have.
2. Game day
Whether you're there for the school spirit, the energy, or because you love the game, OSU's football games have got you covered. They're a huge part of our school and a great part of the college experience!
3. Friday nights
Anything can happen...
4. The Short North
The Short North has clothing stores, food, coffee, and great energy. If you are looking for something to do, I can guarantee that the Short North has something for you.
5. The Oval dogs
I swear, I see more dogs at college than anywhere else, and that brings me such joy! The Oval dogs can make my day go from bad to great instantly!
6. Treating the Oval like the beach
When the weather is good, the best place to be is the Oval. Students can be found playing sports, tanning, playing with dogs, napping, etc. It's such a good atmosphere when you need to get away from the stress of classes.
7. The Columbus coffee scene

Now, I know not everyone is as addicted to coffee as I am, but there are so many coffee shops around campus that you're bound to find one that you love. There's One Line Coffee, Mission, Short North Coffee, and Kafé Kerouac just to name a few.
8. German Village
If you've entirely explored the Short North, go a little farther and check out the German Village. It's a quaint area of Columbus and has MORE coffee shops, restaurants, and most importantly, The Book Loft. Picture endless (or 32) rooms full of books. It's a dream and the perfect place to find your next favorite book!
9. Fox in the Snow's coffee cake

Speaking of coffee shops, this specific shop gets a special shout out for their coffee cake. Just trust me on this.
10. The people

The thing we all miss most is the people that we don't get to see every day during the summer. These people are the ones that really make the college experience, and I cannot wait to get to see them again!
