    Death to the Beach

    Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

    I think this may be the longest the blog has gone without an update in quite some time. That is really more a testament to how awesome most of our writers are, myself excluded since it has been a whole month in my case. This one part of semesters has been bothering me for quite [...]

    Fighting the Right to Bike

    Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

    I was sitting around thinking to myself “I wish I had a medium to share my ideas about OSU related happenings. Facebook? No, too annoying. Twitter? No, too short. Graffiti wall? No, too artsy…Oh wait, my stars and garters! I have a blog!

    Spoil the Celebration

    Monday, February 4th, 2013

    While there may no longer be a bell to mark the occasion, all I need to hear is those simple words come out of the professor’s mouth. “That’s all for today”…it’s like poetry, but better. The last class of the day is over, so without hesitation I begin to strut my hindquarters towards the door, [...]

    A Story You Can Actually Finish

    Monday, January 21st, 2013

    What better way to spend my day off from school than to procrastinate from homework a bit longer, which today means writing a blog for you all. My colleague Michael does this wonderful thing called “Project 80″ where he writes blogs in 80 words or less (check out one near and dear to my heart here) Now [...]

    A Day in the Life

    Tuesday, November 27th, 2012

    Searching for inspiration, I noticed the tagline to our homepage. “Ohio State’s admissions web site can only tell you so much. Get the real scoop. Read about the lives of actual Ohio State Buckeyes.” Ok, you really want to know about the life of an actual Ohio State Buckeye? I got just the thing for [...]

    A Necessary Explanation

    Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

    It’s November, in case you hadn’t noticed yet, which means it’s time for everyone’s favorite holiday. Before you start thinking that I am speaking about Thanksgiving, or even Christmas (don’t get me started on beginning Christmas in November), I am talking about the real festivities. A holiday so spectacular that it deserves a whole month, [...]

    The Game System of College

    Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

    If I had to describe how the average college student spends their time, I would break it down to the following: 25% in class, 15% homework, 25% sleeping, 10% wishing they were sleeping, 5% eating, 10% going out with friends, %10 Facebook/Twitter, %5 all other websites, and 2% playing video games. Ignoring that college students somehow managed to [...]

    Back from the Abyss

    Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

    Look, I know it’s been a long time, but you have to forgive me. I’ve been off in Bhutan learning sweet ninja skills from Liam Neeson. Wait a minute…that’s Batman. I always get Bruce Wayne and myself confused :-/

    On the Horizon

    Thursday, July 26th, 2012

    It’s official. I can count the days until I move back on my fingers. Since you are probably counting on your fingers right now, thinking either you have lost track of quite a few days or I’m a mutant with way to many fingers, let me remind you that I have to move in 2 [...]

    That Special Someone

    Monday, July 2nd, 2012

    Around this time last year, I attended my orientation at Ohio State. A few things stuck out to me, including: how awesome OSU is, how much the people at OSU like to brag on ourselves (see what I did there), and something one speaker said during our first session. Because it was over a year [...]

    You Are What You Eat

    Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

    One of the biggest changes Ohio State is making for the upcoming year has to do with their dining plans. Forget about the whole class schedule changing situation, the real issue to be concerned with is food. While the dining plan on the quarter system had a single basic option of swiping for every meal [...]

    Great Success!

    Monday, May 28th, 2012

    I want to start by apologizing. Lately, I’ve been blogging as much as I’ve been sleeping, none. I might be exaggerating slightly, I’ve at least blogged a little ;-) Seriously though, I have been slacking. I wouldn’t be surprised if I lost all 3 of my fans (not including my mother, I’m thinking she will [...]

    If I Ran a Campus Tour

    Thursday, April 19th, 2012

    Taking a tour of Ohio State can play a big role in deciding whether or not coming to school here is the right decision. I remember my tour of campus, mainly for the fact that it was cold enough to freeze the toes off a penguin. Being an expert on Ohio weather, I can say [...]

    Keeping it Classy Out of Class

    Sunday, April 8th, 2012

    I made a startling discovery this weekend. One that both Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes would give me a high five for. What is this earth shattering insight, you may ask? College is different than high school.

    This is Madness…this is MADNESS

    Sunday, March 18th, 2012

    I hope everyone noticed the “300″ reference. I’m sure it would have been more obvious if I would have been screaming it in my Gerard Butler voice.
