Everyday kindness
Stress has a tendency to unravel us. When we have a heavy load of homework in our classes or one thing or another to worry about, the weight of it all is overwhelming. We have this propensity to sink into ourselves, our mind constantly meandering away from reality and our eyes oblivious to what is around us. We become wrapped up in our work, our […]

One of my responsibilities, as an executive member for the Boo Radley Society, is to recruit and interview new students for the organization. (And that’s just one of the many things I’ve been up to since I last posted.)
Read moreA Very Columbus Weekend
When I was a freshman, part of Commencement was “exploring Columbus” as Ohio State is so keenly sibling to, or arguably a gear within, Ohio’s capital. While this event can certainly help students from out of the town get acquainted with the city they will now have as a secondary home, there is definitely a difference between walking around a city and experiencing it through […]

An open letter to Buckeye Bikers
Dear student bikers, I’m all for getting in some good exercise and getting to class on time, but safety NEEDS to be a priority!

Stress, anxiety and fun
College is unbelievably fun. Almost everyday there is something new to do and experience. At the same time, we all have classes that are very stressful. I know for me it has been very hard to study. Even when I do the necessary precautions such as going to the library, leaving my phone behind and sitting up straight, I still have found myself constantly daydreaming […]

Professors: a profession
Many of my teachers in high school were very fond of informing us what college is like; specifically, how cold-hearted and ruthless our college professors would be. Five weeks into classes, I’m starting to wonder if they were just trying to make themselves seem less cold-hearted and ruthless. Let me put it this way: there are different stressors in college, but the professors are not […]
