College Misconception #1: You’ll Have No Time
In high school, teachers, adults and even older students seemed to fill our brains with warnings and college horror stories.

I made the common assumption that no one has time in college, and […]

(Really, that could be the title of any of my blogs.) Ahh, Fisher. Fisher College of Business. That sweet, sweet haven; the home of baby CEOs and investment bankers. Cool, cool, cool stuff. Fisher, forming its baby CEOs and bankers and networkers – they’re the people on the path to success, right? They are learning all that it takes to be on that path of […]
Read moreReview of Circuit Cycle
Of all the group fitness classes I’ve tried at the RPAC so far, Circuit Cycle is my favorite. It consists of about seven minutes on the stationary bike, then seven minutes on the floor. Repeat each three times for an hour-long class!

Surviving Orientation (and maybe, possibly, liking it?) TIP #1
(Picture- Carson Yerian) Surviving Orientation (and maybe, possibly, liking it?) TIP #1 Fresh out of school one afternoon in mid-March, you’ll saunter your way into your house, barely mumble “good” when your mom asks how your day was, and let your backpack slide off your shoulder, down your arm, and plop down on the floor as you slowly fall onto the couch in a heap.

Read moreHow to Make Your Dorm Feel Like Home
For my first week or two at college, I felt like I was on an extended stay in a hotel. Luckily, there are a few things I found that made my dorm feel much more like home: 1. Decorate! Every college dorm needs lights, so don’t forget to bring them (and Command strips) on move-in day! Don’t leave your walls blank. Bring posters, signs and […]
Read moreMy first trip to the short north
It’s pretty sad, but I’ve lived in Central Ohio my whole life and never made it to the Short North. I hear about the shops and all the food constantly from friends and classmates, so I decided it was time to check it out and report back to see if it’s worth the hype. First stop: the famed North Market! Alright guys, I took my camera […]
