For those of
you that don't already know, The Ohio State University is somewhat late when
starting their fall quarter. We started class TODAY Wednesday, Sept. 21. We are
on the quarter system and will soon be switching to semesters. I for one love
having an extra long summer instead of an extra long spring. We get to complete
three football games before school even starts. This gives you some time to
transition out of summer and into the grinding school year. The freshman moved
in Sunday night as they flooded the streets in groups of ten.
The next day
starts the school year in my opinion. The Monday before class always features
freshman convocation. Enormous amounts of students pack St. John Arena to hear
President Gee, guest speakers and the band fire them up to be a Buckeye.
Later that
day features the student involvement fair on the Oval. More than 500 student
organizations pack the Oval to advertise their group and give away free things.
This year the show was moved inside because of rain. The Ohio Union was packed!
The next day
students packed the RPAC lawn to receive more free things from various
restaurants around Columbus. The first Tuesday before class also shows off one
of the best things about OSU and that is the free concerts. In my three years
at Ohio State, they have provided to students many concerts for free including;
Kings of Leon, Weezer, John Legend Ingrid
Michaelson, Matt Kearny, Ludacris, Craig Morgan, Third Eye Blind, Super Mash
Bros., Luke Bryan, Drake and Lupe Fiasco. This year the Welcome
Week Concert was more of a throwback to our youth. Boys II Men and Smash Mouth
showed off everything we loved about the 90s.
It was a
great start to Welcome Week and it all concludes with the game on Saturday. Can't
wait to show you a game day at The Ohio State University.
Hope to see
you at soccer in a few minutes and don't forget to follow on twitter
