Kate Tocke, blogger Here at OU we feel at home. Whether you live in the luxury that is Jeff Hall or the not as luxurious dirty south, we all have our ways of making our dorm rooms feel like home. You are either the person who scatters their wall with posters or you leave them barren. There is no in between. Recently everyone at OU – and all over the internet – has seen the familiar Ohio dorm halls on their TikTok for you pages recently, and that is because OU student Stuart

By: Isabella Lasneski, Blogger It’s the start of the spring semester and you know what that means: New classes, a new schedule, a new routine! I love the saying “If you can’t beat them, join them” because it reminds me to never stay stuck in the past for too long. Things like technology and human nature are changing so often, that change has now become our new normal. Change is inevitable so why not embrace it? This year, join me in embracing the change that the new year has

By: Grace Potochney, Blogger  For a long time, not only our country but the world has seen the environment arise and become global issues, but it was until the past five years that this matter has gained awareness by us. As an elementary schooler about a decade ago, I remember learning about recycling and it seemed like something fun that adults wanted young children to know. But, here we are entering 2022 and some researchers say our planet is in its emergency mode. As co

During the 2020-2021 academic year, Ohio University gave students the option to attend in-person, hybrid or fully online classes. This option was given based on a course-enrollment basis, with several classes maintaining

By Taylor Strnad, Blogger Cooking in college can be a hassle. If you live in a dorm, you have to go to the front desk and ask to borrow pots and pans or ask one of your neighbors for theirs. Then you have to go to the community kitchen, which everyone is always using to make something, so you might not even be able to cook when you want to. All of this can make cooking frustrating and not worth the hassle. But, if you’re lucky enough to have access to a microwave and a micro

By Madison Kopp, Blogger College means two things: no parents and no one telling you to clean your room … until your dirty clothes start to pile up and your roommate starts subtly suggesting that you do your laundry. Doing your own laundry may be challenging at first, but it is easier than you may think. Laundry symbols on clothing labels may seem confusing, but they are important for correctly washing and drying as well as bleaching or ironing. Here are a few common symbols

By Emily Squance, Blogger COVID-19 has forced everyone to create a new sense of normal. Many businesses, colleges and even high schools have been forced to transition to learning and teaching online. Due to this, there aren’t many chances for students and staff to relax and catch a break. Ohio University has implemented “wellness breaks” but unfortunately spring break was still canceled. However, there are many ways you can bring spring break to you! Here are my top 6 ways t

Illustration by Olivia Dutkewych By Hannah Barrett, Blogger This past year has evoked countless changes to life as it was known before the pandemic. Along with many other firsts that have occurred this year, this will be the first year some college students at universities around the country will not be given a spring break.
