Stay Classy, Columbus
My countdown has begun! Within three weeks, I will have finished my second year at Ohio State once spring quarter comes to a close. Although I'm looking forward to packing up my belongings and leaving Columbus for awhile, I am highly disgusted with the fair-weather etiquette that my fellow Buckeyes have displayed over the past few weeks.
With this being said, I've decided to educate campus with my expert advice. By following the guidelines set forth below, I am assured that you will all have the opportunity to help keep these remaining three weeks the best we've seen on campus. Therefore, keep a keen eye for scapegoats as you examine my recommendations.
(5) Men: If it is warm enough to wear sandals, there's no need for jeans.
ARGUMENT: While sporting flip-flops, when was the last time you've seen a photograph of Jesus sprawled in denim... exactly.
(4) Women: If it is warm enough to wear a skirt, there's no need for boots lined with the skin of a yeti.
ARGUMENT: Call an audible from the guys' playbook and don the latest flip-flop.
(3) Keep It To Yourself: If making a phone call in public, try speaking with your indoor voice no matter where you may be located.
ARGUMENT: I could care less about what happened at your party last night. The person on the other line will hear you whether you scream or not, because their cell phone has the capability to CHANGE VOLUME!
(2) Clean It Up: If you drop something outside, pick it up and throw it away. The ground is not your personal trash receptacle.
ARGUMENT: I'll admit Ohio State does a nice job of keeping the grounds clean. Thus, if you accidentally spill a smoothie (oh... say outside of the RPAC), how about cleaning that up so I don't have to step in it?
(1) Frisbee: Since when did this become Extreme?
ARGUMENT: Don't get me wrong, I love to toss around a Frisbee from time to time even breaking the casual sweat. But, Extreme? Try talking to me once you've added landmines, piranha pits, and juggling swordsman to the playing field; rather, keep it called Ultimate for the time being.
Unfortunately, you've probably been victim of this list in the past... We all have. Consequently, I encourage you to enforce these regulations upon you and yours for the remainder of our waning days with the intention to help keep Columbus classy!
