Sunday, March 31st, 20135 Things I Wish I Had Learned In High School (That I Have Only Recently Learned That I Didn’t Learn): Recently I’ve learned that there may have been a few things that my teachers could have helped me out on a little bit more.

Roll Tide: Or My Spring Break With Buck I Serv
Sunday, March 24th, 2013Earlier this year, I applied to take part in an alternative spring break trip through OSU’s Buck-I-Serv program. After a spring break spent meeting awesome Buckeyes and basking in a little bit of sunshine I would encourage every student to get involved with this program.
A Saturday Journey: Or How We Found a Golden Egg
Sunday, January 27th, 2013As an incoming freshman looking at prospective schools at which to spend my next four years, I never really took the opportunity to consider the cities surrounding these institutions of higher learning. Educational programs, cost, and the campus always seemed to play a bigger part of the decision.
My Life as a Barista: Or Tales of a Poor College Student
Tuesday, September 18th, 2012Since my return to Ohio State this fall as a sophomore (it’s so wonderful not to be a freshman anymore so I just had to throw that one out there) I’ve been incredibly busy. Everything has begun again just where I left it last spring.
A Summer Visit: Or Wait, You’re Not From Here?
Wednesday, June 27th, 2012While I haven’t been on campus for the past few weeks, I’ve still stayed in contact with many of my friends from Ohio State. Many of us are at our own individual homes, homes that have been separate unexplored worlds. However, last weekend, I had a few friends visit my part of the world.
Crossing the Freshman Finish Line: Or Pressing the Pause Button for the Summer
Monday, June 18th, 2012I’ve been home for the summer for a little over a week now, and I have just realized that I never took the chance to blog about my last few days of freshman year. I think this is my way of pretending that it’s not truly over.
How I Survived Tech Week: Or Christmas in May
Monday, May 14th, 2012Off the Lake performed its opening of The Mystery of Edwin Drood this weekend to two great audiences. The weekend was fantastic, but before it could happen we went through what is known by theatre folk as “hell week.”
OTLove: Or Why I Really Love Having Less Free Time
Monday, April 23rd, 2012A little while ago I blogged about a new group I joined at Ohio State, Off the Lake Productions, or OTL. These amazing people have made spring quarter my best quarter at Ohio State yet, so I thought I’d do a quick update.
It’s Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)
Monday, April 16th, 2012Last Saturday I had a unique life affirming moment, one of those days that makes me feel like this:
A Eulogy For My Spring Break: Or Do I Really Have to Go to Class Tomorrow?
Sunday, March 25th, 2012Unfortunately as I type these words, spring break 2012 has officially come to a close. Tomorrow morning I will get up and go to class, any sense of free time lost with the dawn of a new quarter. While my spring break wasn’t composed of fantastic journeys or beautiful beaches, it was still awesome enough [...]
Getting Involved: Or How I Mastered the Art of the Involvement Fair
Sunday, February 19th, 2012As someone whose high school friends often came from clubs and activities, it’s been weird for me to suddenly not be as involved. I’ve joined a few clubs. Tried some things out. But I still spend most week nights at home. I was beginning to feel lazy. And thus I arrived at the winter involvement [...]
The Longest Twenty Four Hours Of My Life: Or How I’m Fortunately Still Alive
Monday, February 13th, 2012Recently, I experienced a horror I had not foreseen as I embarked upon my first year away from home. It was a grueling twenty four hours, but I’m proud to say I’ve survived. What could such a terrible horror possibly be? Well I’m glad you asked.
Dazed But No Longer Confused: Or How I Dismantled The Freshman Myth
Thursday, December 29th, 2011As a media enthusiast and frequent consumer of bad cult films, chick flicks, and primetime sitcoms whose episodes now appear in my Netflix instant queue, I’ve noticed that there is a certain hopeful image associated with the college freshman. A distinct image that even I bought into. But after my first quarter at Ohio State, [...]
And in the End: Or Why I’m Sad to See Fall Quarter Go
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011The end of the quarter is upon us. Being a freshman still, this is a unique experience for me. In high school if you signed up for a class, most likely you were stuck with it for the entire academic year. For better or for worse, stressed or relaxed, great teacher or instructor you hated, [...]
I’ll Do It Later: Or Why It Never Actually Gets Done Later (And Other Musings On Procrastination)
Sunday, October 30th, 2011I have faced a great foe these past few weeks. It is the reason I have not blogged in ages, the reason I haven’t gotten a decent night’s sleep since September, and the reason that I put together a haphazard Halloween costume from my closet on Friday night.
