6 Thoughts All OSU Students Have During Winter

Where can I get an athlete puffer coat?

6 Thoughts All OSU Students Have During Winter

It's that time of the year again...winter. The snow and cold can only be made worse by the fact that we go to school at one of the largest campuses in the entire United States.

1. Is it even worth going to class?

Let’s face it: that walk to Campbell Hall from your North Campus dorm doesn’t seem appealing at any point during the year, but especially when there’s snow on the ground and you can barely have any of your skin uncovered. Your 8 a.m., 9:10, and 10:20 all seem pretty unappealing at this point.

2. How do I get an athlete puffer coat?

Every athlete has one, so why shouldn't you? Probably because you aren't putting in the same work they are. These coats can be found all over campus, usually surrounded by athletes wearing the exact same coat. The cold would be a little more bearable if you had this as an option.

3. Is it time to transfer?

It’s easy to be tempted by the allure of a small college campus when the temperatures are in the single digits. Ohio State is definitely great, but being warm and not having to walk a mile in the snow seems pretty tempting.


4. Am I going to make the next bus?

I do more calculations about what time I need to get out of bed to make the bus in time than I do my math classes. It’s better to wait nine minutes for a bus than walk ten minutes in the cold. It’s all fun and games until you miss your bus and have to walk the ten minutes for class, though.


5. Why do we not have snow days?


It’s pretty frustrating when the tweets start rolling in about other colleges closing who are about half your size. Does the administration not realize the struggle of walking across one of the largest campuses in the country?


6. Is it almost spring break?

The cold? Unbearable. Classes at this point in the semester? Also unbearable. Each day brings you a little closer to spring break, though. Just imagine the palm trees and hanging out on the beach (if you can afford it at least). You just need to make it through ~2 more months of the extreme cold (and extremely difficult classes).

Good luck out in the cold, Buckeyes. I believe in you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
