Since I’ve been at THE Ohio State University now for a little over a month...
I find it easiest to sum up my experiences in a list of the best and the worst things about being here so far.
Least fun things:
-lectures
-laundry
-walking 74 miles a day
-waking up at 6 to go to work on Monday mornings
-getting sick twice
-CVS overcharging my BuckID and sending it into the negatives
-studying
-climbing into my loft every night
-climbing back down every morning
-having to go out for meals
-if I need anything, I really do have to get it myself.
-my paychecks getting sent home instead of depositing directly into my bank account
-being impossibly far away from home
-freezing my butt off in class (max AC) and then sweltering in my dorm room (no AC)
-making sandwiches for 6 hours straight on Thursdays.
