new year means new exciting experiences and changes. It also means I have a whole new year to make some goals that I probably won’t end up keeping. (Drink less wine, work out more than three times a year, stop spending money on Papa John’s for drunk food when I have Pizza Rolls in the freezer for that exact reason, etc.) But, 2015 will be a hard one to forget. Let’s reminisce. Our football team won the National Championship. I watched the game at Fourth Street with my roommates and I remember being close to tears when we were officially named the winners. Then, I remember turning to my right to see one of my roommates spinning her shirt above her head in the middle of the bar. Good, good times. Moving on. Same sex marriage was made legal in the U.S., finally. Thanks a lot, Obama. Seriously, thanks for that. The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team won the World Cup reminding us all that ladies are badass. Just in case we forgot. We met Caitlyn Jenner who pointed out that, “We’re all different and that’s not a bad thing. That’s a good thing.” Literally everyone and their mothers learned to whip and nae nae. (Will we do this when we’re old and at weddings? Is this the new Cha-Cha Slide?) Brand new North Campus dorms finally opened and, with them, new dining halls and buildings that I will never know the names of. That damn dress. Blue and black or gold and white? What color is it?! Students jumped into Mirror Lake for the last time after horrible tragedy struck. Star Wars awakened the Force. Especially in lil’ brother Bosa. He will finished what you started, big brother Bosa. Can’t wait for that. Climate change/El Nino deferred the dreaded Ohio winter for a little longer than usual. (Global warming is bad but I would be lying if I said I didn’t appreciate 40 degree weather while I celebrated Christmas.) Half of our football team announced they would be going into the NFL draft instead of

coming back to OSU. :( Google released a video of all the questions we asked in 2015, which I may or may not have watched to help me write this. Apparently, I still cannot write anything without using the Internet. Some things never change, I guess. But, 2016 is here and that means a true fresh start. 2016 means you have a brand new monthly campus magazine and 1870 is thrilled. (By the way, 1870 is the year The Best Damn University in the Land was founded if you were at all confused.) We’re thrilled because we can’t wait to tell all of the stories of 2016. Specifically, your stories. We want to hear about your roommate who invented a new computer program to locate his friends during a night out and we want to hear about that girl who sits next to you in class and also happens to be a World Champion in jump rope. We want to hear about your best friend who is well on her way to becoming a real astronaut (pg. 20) or that new restaurant on campus you and your roommate found and can’t get enough of (pg. 42). We want to hear about your favorite local band (pg. 38) and your secret campus confessions (pg. 54). We want to write the stories that you want to read and the stories you want to tell. So, here’s my personal invitation to reach out to us. Or to me personally because I linger on campus more than I’d like to admit. And, in closing: Ask not what your campus magazine can do for you, but what you can do for you campus magazine. You know? And the other way around definitely works, too. Welcome aboard the 1870 train. We’re excited to have you.

TIME AND CHANGE By AUDREY DUVALL

2016 marks The end of an era. An era of sticky floors, cheap beer and dimly lit bars. An era that embodies what college is all about. An era that we hate to see go. Campus Partners has plans to redevelop nine acres of the neighborhood east of Ohio State. The redevelopment would add a public square at the entrance to the university near North High Street and 15th Avenue, along with a boutique hotel flanked by blocks of apartments, shops and parking garages. They’re paving paradise to put up a parking lot. And a hotel. The “town center” envisioned by the plan bordering the hotel would span from 14th Avenue to 17th Avenue along North High Street stretching east past Pearl Street. The plan would replace numerous buildings and homes. With those buildings to go are Too’s Under High, Bernie’s Bagels and Deli, The O Patio and Pub and about a foot of wall (maybe) of Mama’s Pasta and Brew. Bars that are older than your fake ID and bars your parents most likely also made some bad decisions in. It is the end of an era of history, an era of authenticity. But that's life, and it sucks sometimes. We love our bars, and we hate to see them go. But we can take comfort in the fact that we had our time and it was fun as hell. So, here is our tribute to you, our favorite bars. Thanks for introducing us to our best friend and thanks for not judging when we come in on a Tuesday. Cheers, we will miss you.

TIME AND CHANGE

#RememberToos

he theme was “your worst nightmare” and I was dressed as a positive pregnancy test. Sorry, mom and dad. It was the fall of my sophomore year, and my sorority was having a themed party (TG for all you greek-lifers) on campus at Too’s Under High. It was my first time in the dark, grungy, dirty basement bar. I found myself dancing around the pool table, my feet lightly sticking every time I took a step, downing vodka soda’s like it was vital to my health. By the end of the night the patrons had

dwindled, and I found myself making out with a kid dressed as a mummy. Seriously, mom and dad, stop reading now. Scott Ellsworth doesn’t know the mummy and positive pregnancy test he once shooed out of his bar was me, in fact, I don’t know if he even remembers. But that’s the point of Too’s and Ellsworth, being the heart of every Ohio State’s student’s memory without even knowing it. You may recognize Ellsworth from your hazy recollections. He’s the guy behind the bar sporting what he describes as an '80s gay porno mustache and a

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Too’s t-shirt. He took over the then-struggling Too’s from a family friend in 2007. He had jumped from bartending jobs to bartending jobs, before his wife told him he needed to just buy a bar so he couldn’t fire himself. He knew nothing about Ohio State (he attended Toledo for one year before dropping out), but he knew how to bartend and he knew how to tell managers how shitty they were at doing their job. The rest, they say, is history. Ellsworth knocked on every bank’s door, putting up his house and his savings, before finally

opening the doors of Too’s himself and, eventually, Barrel in the Short North. And now, eight years of Too’s-days and live music later, Too’s has solidified itself as a true college bar. From the hundreds of beer labels stuck to the wall to the cheap drinks and infamous tidal waves ( just order one), it’s the kind of bar college students flock towards- proven by the line up the stairs and out the door on almost any given night. There’s a reason for the line. Ellsworth believes, it is because himself, his staff, and Too’s are real.

“I do think people on this campus appreciate real.” A “real” that Campus Partners is threatening, he says. “I had this conversation with Campus Partners. It’s hard to create what we created. It takes time. It takes time and grind, I told them. And that’s [the wall covered in beer labels], look at this wall. I can’t pull these off here and stick it on another bar. It just doesn’t happen. My door guys got sick of scraping them off every night. We were finally like ‘Fuck it, leave ‘em, we’ll see what happens.’” Campus Partner’s plan, the same folks behind The Gateway on South

Campus, involves redevelopment of nine acres around 15th Ave. and N High St. The redevelopment includes turning Pearl St. into a two-way street, connecting 16th Ave. and 14th Ave. to High Street and developing the corner of 15th Ave. and High St. into a public square. Too’s current location is proposed for “mixed use”, according to the latest plans. What Campus Partners describes as mixed use, Ellsworth describes as his third kid. When he took over Too’s he had an 11-month old baby at home, and he had no choice but to make this bar successful. And, along the way, he has developed a love for Ohio State and the memories he has created inside his bar. He remembers the guy who shit on the floor that one night, and having to pick what door guy had to clean it up. He remembers wanting to strangle the girl who sprayed pepper spray in the corner on a crowded Too’s-day and watching the whole bar become deserted in minutes. He remembers the couple that took their wedding photos in the same bar a kid shit in, sharing one the most important days of their lives. He laughs as he remembers the time the staff got into a tidal wave war and the floor was so wet guys were slip n’ sliding across it. One of his former bartenders, Lauren Canlas, remembers her first night working at the bar- she got a little more than just her feet wet. “My first official shift at Toos began on a Saturday during a night home game. A little after 1 a.m., when it was crowded, loud and just plain ridiculous, water started flying out of nowhere,” said Canlas. “Scott thought it was a great idea to throw 10 gallon tidal waves at customers after the Buckeye win. As a result, bar-

tenders, customers and everything at the bar was consumed by water...” She described her time as Too’s as a close-knit dysfunctional family- and Ellsworth as the fun father figure who knows way too much about everyone. Steph Heinz, the self proclaimed “bitch at the door” of Too’s, (you know her- she probably took your fake) has been with Ellsworth since he opened Too’s and has countless memories of debauchery from everyone’s favorite basement. She remembers the time an employee came into work drunk before an early Michigan game and proceeded to fall from a stool and pass out on the floor. Ellsworth quickly drew a chalk outline around him and the whole staff laughed as they watched his fall playback on the security footage. She remembers the time she caught a kid “pissing in a cup mid-stream” and, while kicking him out, watching him try to shake Ellsworth hand to apologize, to which Ellsworth responded, “No! You just touched your dick with that hand!” While the walls of Too’s have seen their fair share of student’s worst moments, Ellsworth has had some of his best. Senior crawls, where students confess they lied about being 21 the first three years, or admit their love for a bartender or even just stop by to say thanks, those are some of his favorite memories. For him, these gestures show that his bar impacted someone enough for them to stop by and say their goodbyes. And most importantly, he remembers all the times you loyal “#savetoos”-ers shared your photos with your Too’s shirts, hats and stickers all over the world. “That’s pretty fucking awesome, when [students] are on vacation they are thinking about us, they’re thinking

about Too’s and they’re taking their shirts and they’re taking pictures or taking a coozie we gave them or a sticker and they are finding a way to let us know that — it is basically a thank you is how we always look at it.” As of now, Ellsworth has not been given a set closing date from Campus Partners, but he knows he has at least six more months. “I first heard it’s been six months, six months, six months. I keep getting pushed back six months. That’s fine, do that for another ten years as far as I’m concerned. We’ve had a ton of people in here, you know, that like ‘Save Too’s’ movement. When it first came out it was huge, it was wild, but the downside of that was people thought we were closed. But once you see the line out the door and with social media, obviously there is no doubt we are still here, still a blossoming part of campus culture.” Ellsworth plans to stay apart of that campus culture, even when they force him out of his beloved basement. He is in the planning stage of moving Too’s to either North or South Campus. No matter which side of 15th Avenue Too’s finds itself on, Ellsworth and I will always look back at our time in the grungiest basement on campus fondly. “I think the cool thing about a bar like ours is it’s the kind of bar your parents wouldn’t come to so that’s why you want to come to it,” he said. It is also the kind of bar you don’t tell your parents what happened (like making out with a mummy while dressed as a positive pregnancy test).

umor has it, hanging from the ceiling of a campus bar, along with all the other mugs marked with regulars’ names, there was once a mug engraved with the name “Jeffrey Dahmer.” That about sums up Bernie’s Bagels and Deli. Bernie’s is the eccentric indie rock cousin (on your mom’s side) of Ohio State bars. You don’t really get him, but he has a lot of his own friends; and even though you guys rarely see each other, it is still fun to occasionally get drunk together at family events. Bernie’s has been around since 1975, before both Dahmer and OSU had a “THE” in front of their names, and has solidified itself as one of the quirkiest bars on campus. And on Dec. 31, owners Tony and Roma Painter held a farewell event and closed its doors for good. The doors were first opened by, you guessed it, a man named Bernie. The Painter’s took over after interest in Bernie’s from Tony’s experience playing shows at the bar and Roma’s love of cooking. Since then, Bernie’s has attracted a crowd of indie music junkies, frat stars, parents and freshman, and almost everyone has a story or two from going through its doors. Harry Morgenstern, a recent OSU graduate, had his first Bernie’s experience during a game day. “We were the youngest people there by at least 15 years and the only ones wearing scarlet and grey. There was a one-man band, who was this guy playing a guitar and a kick-drum at the same time. He was wearing studded leather pants, a leather vest with a huge hole in the stomach and a creepy dog mask on his face,” Morgenstern said. “None of us got carded as we walked in, and the drinks were some of the strongest I've ever had. All-in-all, a great experience.” For some, the basement bar was a family affair. Hannah Williams, a third-year, was first forced through the doors of Bernie’s by her father, who had worked at Bernie’s when he was an OSU student in the ’80s. “I hated it at the time, but once

“...Once i started going there with friends, i really appreciated making memories at the same place that my dad spent so much time during his years here.” I started to go there with friends, I really appreciated making memories at the same place that my dad spent so much time during his years here. I hate to see it go because I'm scared to see my favorite bars torn down 35 years from now,” she said. Dani Espinoza, said she found her “family” at Bernie’s. “I was super nervous because I was a little freshman who had never really been to a bar, but somehow I got into Bernie's. After a couple drinks, we all decided to hit the dance floor and show off our ‘best moves.’ I had built up enough liquid courage to start dancing in the middle of the circle and tried to ‘bernie’ at Bernie's … bad move. I went a little too hard and tripped over myself and fell in front of everyone. One girl came over to help me up. Little did I know that she would end up being my [sorority] Big,” she said. Whether you were with your family, met your family, were a serial killer or had the weirdest experience of your life, Bernie’s left its mark on Ohio State’s campus, Family is family, and we will miss you, Bernie’s.

TIME AND CHANGE

time (mama)chine I

t’s hard to remember that you didn’t actually step in a time machine and go back to a world of afros and bellbottoms when you step foot into Mama’s Pasta and Brew. From the vintage rainbow sign that looks like it’s straight out of a ’70s sitcom, to the windowless door, to the small corner space filled with wooden panels, wooden booths and a wooden bar — all dimly illuminated in a faded yellow light; it’s a world where Woody Hayes was the Buckeyes’ head coach and Mama’s was brand new. Oh, you don’t know what Mama’s is? Let me take you back in time. In the 1940's, a restaurant called The Pantry operated in

the alley off High Street. It was a 24-hours-a-day, seven-daysa-week diner. Rumor has it, the little old lady that ran it never left, and she had a little bell on the door that would wake her up when customers would come in. In the 1960's, the diner turned into a mom and pop restaurant called Roma's, serving spaghetti dinners on redand white-checkered tablecloths. In the mid ’70s, the current wood paneling and bowling alley bar was installed, and a bar called Froggy's was opened. When you turned 21, they would give you a cheap bottle of red wine. A then-recent OSU grad-

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

uate named Gene Szaronas finally opened Mama’s Pasta and Brew in 1977. He brought in Ester, a five-foot tall accordion lady who sang way off key, to play at night. In 1983, another OSU graduate, Terry Fahy took over the bar. He brought Mama’s to what it is today: cheap beer, good food and friendly people. He created a “social club atmosphere” in the bar with golf outings, white water rafting trips and dart leagues. He is also responsible for the “hall of fame” on the wall, featuring about 80 regulars from over the years. Since its inception, Mama’s has outlasted 25 other bars, is responsible for at least 12 weddings and has solidified its name

as one of the oldest bars on campus. So how do you not know about a bar that has lasted over 38 years? Blame it on the location. Location, location, location. Fahy would advertise “world’s worst location” on all of Mama’s ads. Its current owner, Brian Galenski, joked, “You wouldn’t know we’re here because we are like 1,000 square feet and we are off High Street. I mean we are a stone’s throw from High Street, but I get fifth-year seniors coming in here all the time. They think it is new because they’ve never seen it before, even though they’ve lived a block away for five years. And

then they fall in love with it.” And that’s the magic that keeps Mama’s ticking: Once you find it, you can’t leave. Gena Kolhoff, stumbled into the bar when her friend got a job there, and she hasn’t left. “Once you start coming here, no other bar is the same. It is just like a warm, happy vibe here,” she said. The first person Fahy hired in 1983 can still be spotted at the bar from time to time and Fahy, who sold the bar a few years back to Galenski, still comes in once a week for a shift. There is something about the rainbow sign, the wooden panels, dim lighting and windowless door that just invites you, and keeps in you, in. Just don’t ask who Mama is, nobody (including the original owner) seems to know.

An Ode

To Recent Grads

eing a 23-year-old postgrad living in the same town where I attended college is awkward. I still drink the same beers I drank in college, I still like the same boy I liked in college, I still want to go to the same parties and hang out with the same people, but now there’s something standing in the way. It’s like once I walked across the field in Ohio Stadium and received that diploma, I was suddenly a new person — to everyone else, anyway. I mean, realistically I was different: I was a college graduate. I was an alumna of The Ohio State University. But I didn’t feel all that different. How could I really be so different on May 10 than I was on May 9? And did I suddenly get some plague that made me untouchable in social circles? I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone somewhere in the past eight months (has it really been eight months?) and heard the words, “Didn’t you graduate?” just because I’m hanging out with my friends who are still in undergrad. I’m extremely lucky to still have such easy access to those people. I know it’s been a hard adjustment for friends who have moved away and can only come back for holidays and homecoming. And as it turns out, living a few miles down the road from campus comes with its own struggles. It seems like some less-understanding

you're old, not dead people deem I should be punished for living so close to home and forced to act like my younger friends don’t exist. But I’m already living in this limbo of not fully relating to my friends who are still in college, but not fully relating to the women I work with, either. Why should I have to somehow figure it out all on my own? Right now, I feel a lot closer to who I was at 20 than who I’ll be at 26. And those friends who happen to be a little younger than me and happen to still attend class at Ohio State still get me, and I still need them in a lot of ways. On the other hand, I’ll admit there are some things I can’t do now that I’m not in college anymore. I can’t go to The O for liquid dope on Wednesdays, not that I’ve done that willingly in several years anyway, but now, I can’t because I can’t be hungover for work in the morning. I can’t sleep in because I don’t feel like going to class, because I don’t have class — I have a job that I can be fired from if I don’t show up to it. I don’t have that luxury of getting to choose which days of life I want to show up to all the way. I have to wake up every morning, put on my makeup and drive the four-and-ahalf mile commute down the street where I work for, you guessed it, Ohio State. Yes, there are ways that my postgrad life is different from college, those mentioned

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

by Caitlin Essig

and many more. There are necessary changes and parts of growing up, but why should I have to give up friendships and experiences with people younger than me to grow up, too? I can’t do all of the things I did in college, but I haven’t exactly settled down yet either — not that I’m in any kind of hurry to do that. But because I’m in this strange state of limbo, I should be able to cling to aspects of my old world while exploring aspects of the new — sometimes the best parts of each one, sometimes the worst. I have my financial independence and my freedom, and I don’t have to do homework when I get home at the end of the day. I pay my rent, electric, water, Internet and credit card bills. I make my car payments. I cook for myself most nights of the week and eat more vegetables than ever before. I have my own health insurance, car insurance and a full-time job I enjoy. I am, for all intents and purposes, an adult. But in that same breath, I’m still essentially the same person I was a few months ago. The changes are gradual. I have a business card and a new address, but I’m not so different. If you’re still in college, embrace it. And while you’re at it, try to remember that someday, you too will graduate, and it’ll be awkward, and you won’t want people giving you a hard time about it while you try to figure your life out. Yes, I graduated. No, I’m not dead.

With Jillian Yuricich By Lauren Every Photo by chris casella

hen I was five years old, I wanted to be a singer. I had a little boom box that I would use to record my voice onto tapes that I would then show to my family. Somewhere in my parents basement there is a video recording of me singing “Reflection” from Mulan dramatically into the camera lens. My parents always supported me (even though they were probably and understandably laughing behind my back) and told me, “You can be whatever you want to be” because they knew it was just a phase. Five-year-old Jillian Yuricich wanted to be an astronaut. Her parents said, “You can be whatever you want to be” because they thought it was just a phase.

It all started in elementary school with a teacher named Mrs. Sparks. She showed her class a book about the solar system and, in the book, there was a picture of an American flag on the moon. She explained that astronauts had put it there. I thought, ‘I don’t really know what that means, but that’s what I want to do,” Jillian said. Seventeen years later and Jillian has never grown out of her astronaut phase. As a fifth-year aerospace engineering major, she is slowly but surely making her dream a reality. This past year, one of Jillian’s role models named Emily Calandrelli, who is the host a TV show focused on STEM fields called of Xploration Outer Space, reached out to

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

her on Twitter. She advised Jillian to apply to a weeklong astronaut training camp with NASA. The winner would be filmed during camp with Calandrelli and it would be turned into an episode of the show. At the time, Jillian was doing an internship with The Navy in Maryland. She was working on designing a new aircraft according to direct specifications from the Pentagon (no big deal, right?) and thought it would be the perfect time to film an application video for training camp. Unfortunately, the sound of jets taking off and landing ruined any audio she hoped to capture. She ended up filming her application video at her grandparent’s farm on the picnic table where her and her grandpa used to

stargaze. Apparently, it worked out better than she expected because she won the Xploration Outer Space contest. Two weeks after she found out she won, Jillian was headed to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida for her training with NASA. The training camp, called PoSSUM (Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere...science) Academy, is offered annually for adults but Jillian was a part of the first undergraduate class to be invited. The first few days were lectures and then the real fun began. The mission of this specific training camp was to study mesospheric clouds (Only visible during sunset and only discovered about 150 years ago. I learned so much from this interview.) by using a space plane simulator. “What was really cool about the show [Xploration Outer Space] was they wanted Emily and I on screen together as much as possible. So, I actually got the opportunity -- I was the first candidate of the whole program to fly as both scientist and pilot in the space suit,” Jillian said. “You’re actually in a real pressurized space suit. That was super cool. You don't really get the opportunity to wear real space suits like that very often.” She trained like real astronauts do. She experienced different levels of G-force (gravity) and even went into a hypobaric chamber where the oxygen was lowered to 60 percent. “There's no astronaut major...so, to actually have the opportunity to train like one for a few days and get a taste and to come out on the other side like, ‘This was the best experience of my life.’ That's something that I will never be able to repay Emily and Xploration Outer Space and the producers for,” she said. So, what’s the next step for someone who has experienced a taste of their dreams? “Some sort of really cool research [in graduate school], a really good job after graduation, and then making the core,” Jillian says. And, ultimately, research on Mars. But why Mars when we have robots who can do that for us? “My answer is always because. Because we can. Because exploration is what makes us human. Exploration is what pushes us forward,” she said. As Jillian continues to push forward towards her dream of becoming an astronaut, I continue to sit here pushing the “Search” button on Google, delving into parts of science and space I never knew existed. Watch footage of Jillian’s training experience on her episode of Xploration Outer Space, titled “Orbital Space Contest and Training,” on Hulu.

MORITZ MISDEMEANOR: The accused and the accuser

hen Ohio State law student, Madison Gesiotto, began writing a Millennial Mindset column for The Washington Times in July 2015, she never thought it would lead to her feeling unsafe at her school. Gesiotto is no stranger to the public eye. After completing her undergrad at Ohio State, she was crowned Miss Ohio USA 2014 and spent the year doing appearances and preparing for the nationally televised Miss USA pageant. Though she did not win, she continued on with her goal of empowering women and even raised almost $25,000 towards the Wounded Warrior Project. Once she passed down her title to the next Miss Ohio USA, she decided to continue

By Lauren Every being an advocate for women by writing. One particular article she wrote in October for The Washington Times, titled “The number one killer of black Americans,” caught the eye of her colleagues, particularly on social media. “I always have and will continue to be an advocate for women, which is why I was inspired to write this column on an important issue in today’s society, abortion in the black community,” Gesiotto said. The article explains various abortion statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2011. “In 2011, 402 black Americans were aborted in America every single day. However, in the same year, only 187 black Amer-

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

icans died per day from heart disease, 183 black Americans died per day from cancer, 21 black Americans were murdered per day and 12 black Americans died per day in motor vehicle accidents. That’s a total of 403 black Americans deaths per day from heart disease, cancer, homicide and motor vehicle accidents combined, totaling 147,095 deaths that year,” Gesiotto wrote. She said she wrote about the statistics because she found them concerning. “I am worried that black women in the U.S. are not being given all of the same options as other women when it comes to childbearing. All women should have available to them the option of adoption or the option to receive necessary resources to carry their

baby to term if they choose to do so,” she said. Gesiotto went from being concerned about health care for women to being concerned for her own safety. “The initial threat was ambiguous and stated, ‘The government cannot take action against you for your offensive and racist article. But your colleagues can,’” she said. She immediately called Dean Alan Michaels of Moritz College of Law to report the threat. Gesiotto claims that she was met with three deans from the college who tore apart her article, ignoring the threat she was there to report. Even after the meeting, which left her very upset, she believes the threat was never investigated. As more and more publications picked up on Gesiotto’s story, the university issued a response. “Federal law generally prohibits the university from discussing student records, and we are limited in what we can say, even when, as here, we disagree with accounts in recent press coverage. We can say that these threat allegations were investigated at three different levels,” reads the opening of the statement from Moritz. The statement goes on to say the threat was investigated and Gesiotto was informed of their findings. “Still, both the college and the university offered the student further assistance and support. The student did not follow up or respond to these offers,” the statement reads. Gesiotto says things have not changed for her. She is continually referred to as a “racist” and a “twit” by her colleagues and has received various threats online following the initial one. Moritz and OSU’s Office of Student Conduct say they also offered Gesiotto opportunities to hold discussions on the topic and other educational pathways, which she declined. Gesiotto did not respond to a request for follow up questions after the statement from Moritz was received. “The Moritz College of Law is deeply committed to remaining a place of free speech values that welcomes all viewpoints, where lawyers and lawyers-in-training express ideas and others respond with opinions of their own. It’s through such exchanges that learning occurs, critical thinking is sharpened and advocacy skills are developed. Therefore, we vigorously uphold and defend each and every student’s free speech rights, and we do not silence or avoid ideas and debates. Rather, we aspire to be a community that seeks to understand the complexity and the controversy that emotional topics inevitably generate in serious discussions of law and policy,” the university’s statement says. •

Finding a direct career path right out of the graduation gate can be extremely difficult. Although you now have a degree in a specific major, there are many different directions you can go and there are many different directions particularly in entry-level positions. Many entry-level jobs are meant just to “get your foot in the door” of a company and to gain experience.

ut some, like Kelly Kear, got their foot in the door and gained experience with an internship and are then hired on by their internship company after graduation. Kelly Kear graduated from Ohio State in May of 2014 with a degree in operations management. After interning with Cardinal Health for two summers during college, her job was lined up for after graduation. Her foot was in the door and, once she stepped through the door, she stepped into the warm tan sands of Puerto Rico. But, like many college students, she had a few different majors during her time at Ohio State to get her to where she is today. “Originally, I was finance and accounting. Then, I switched my accounting major to operations management. After a couple core accounting classes, I knew I didn’t want to be an accountant so I switched to my second degree,” she said. “I wanted to work in the finance industry but wasn’t sure in what field or setting.” After spending a year working for Cardinal Health in Columbus (the company’s headquarters are here), she sought an opportunity to travel and was relocated to a location that sounds like heavenly during this cold Ohio winter. “I currently work in San Juan, Puerto Rico and my title is ‘Senior Financial Analyst’ which could mean a bunch of things depending on what you’re doing… Right now, I’m specifically focused on pricing generic pharmaceuticals in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” Kear said. She was given a one-year assignment in San Juan and says she is about six month in. “So far, [I] have been all over Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

and other islands in the Caribbean,” she said. (Wow, I’m officially jealous.) “I would recommend anything similar to everyone, it is such a great life experience!” Besides her unique move to Puerto Rico, she still is experiencing the same transition as all post grads face: the transition into official (and scary) adulthood. So, is the real world what she expected it would be? “Yes and no. Yes because you have real responsibilities pertaining to your job and, also, to yourself, like meeting deadlines, working with people from different backgrounds and paying bills. And no because I still don’t feel like an ‘adult’ or grown up,” she said. As for the career path she chose, she is happy with her decision to change majors in college and is happy with her decision to work in the health care industry. “I really love the health care industry so, as of right now, I could see myself working in this field for a very long time,” she said. “Every day brings unique problems to solve and different challenges and no two days are the same. Health care is such an exciting industry to be in, especially in today’s global environment.” She says there’s one important thing to keep in mind when students take their first steps into the real world: never lose sight of the big picture. “Oftentimes, we get so focused on living in one area or working for a specific company and things may not always work out as planned. Take advantage of opportunities to better yourself personally and professionally and be flexible,” she said. Less than five years out of college, enjoying her career path and living in the Caribbean. #OSUGradGoals -Lauren Every

Resolutions To Keep By Madison Durham and Lauren Every

s another year begins, so does the start of your New Year's resolutions going down the drain. This past year, the most popular resolutions were staying fit and healthy, losing weight, living life to the fullest and spending less/saving more. Weight loss and health are pretty common for resolutions these days but rarely last longer than the month of January. Disappointing for those who made the resolutions but totally fine with the gym rats who can’t use their favorite machines because of the 50plus extra people there. Well, 2016 is a new year. A new year means new resolutions that you can and should stick to. 1. Get fit: Yea, yea, I know we basically just decided this is a dumb resolution to have. However, there are limitless fitness opportunities at Ohio State and, therefore, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be able to keep this resolution past the month of January. Go to the RPAC and pick a machine and stay on said machine for at least 25-30 minutes a few times a week. You’re already out for class (it’s the first month of the semester, so we hope you’re not skipping class just yet), so just take a few more steps and you’re there! 2. Stop drinking so much: This one’s for you, frat guys. In two to four years you will have a beer gut and the “dad bod” look probably will not be in anymore. 3. Start drinking: This is peer pressure speaking: you’re young and you’re in college. Now is the time to make mistakes and not feel (too) bad about it. 4. Stay single: Guys are dumb and they will stress you out. Girls are crazy and they will stress you out. There’s just a lot of unneeded stress all around. 5. Or don’t: If you’ve found somebody that doesn’t give you stomach ulcers, keep them around. Someone once told me “You’ll never be around as many attractive people in your life as you are in college.” Sadly, this is probably true. Get ‘em while they’re hot, literally. 6. Build up your professional network: Graduation comes quicker than you think. Keep track of any and all of the contacts you’ve made who could be helpful in the future. Keeping a spreadsheet of the last time you spoke to them is great

(and hard to keep up with) so when you email them with a favor to ask, you at least remember where you saw them last. 7. Go out on a Toosday: Saying goodbye to a beloved campus bar is either easier or way more dramatic once you’ve had a few drinks in you (pg. 12). 8. It’s a fresh start: It’s a new year, after all. Stop smoking cigarettes. Not only do they cause cancer, they also make your breath smell like ass. Stop tanning. Not only does it cause cancer, it also turns your skin to actual leather. Stop procrastinating. Procrastination leads to stress, stress leads to zits, zits lead to more zits. And so the cycle continues. 9. Explore Columbus, not just campus: There’s an entire city at your disposal, and it’s probably your most underutilized OSU resource. Visit the Columbus Museum of Art, or the Franklin Park Conservatory. Go downtown and experience the glories of overpriced urban nightlife. Hop on a COTA bus and see where it takes you. (pg. 56) It’ll be worth it, trust me. 10. Engage with campus, too: There are so many places on campus that people never seem to find, like the library and museum in Orton Hall. Take a few minutes out of your day to explore a new study space or find a new cafe. 11. Plan ahead: It’s the dawn of a new year, and with it comes a slew of commercial calendars from various businesses. Fill out those blank spaces with things you want to do or accomplish during the year. Trips you want to take, concerts you want to see. Check out our calendar to give

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

you a head start (pg. 72). 12. Establish connections with your professors: The New Year also means that graduation is only months away for some and, with it, grad school applications. Getting to know your professors a little better will make for a lot less awkwardness when it comes time to ask for recommendation letters and all they have to say is, “John was in my class. I think.” They’ll also be more than likely to help you with finding additional resources and contacts, and they’ll probably be more willing to up your B+ to an A-. 13. New Year, new food: Columbus is overrun with different restaurants and bars, and if you look around and try enough places you’re sure to find a new favorite. Don’t be afraid to branch out and try different kinds of cuisine. The North Market is a great starting place for culinary soul-searching. 14. Save $$ and cook your own food, lazy: Yes, Columbus has a plethora of wonderful food that you should try at your leisure but, keep in mind, this costs money. Much more money than it would if you made some of these meals at home. Believe me, making restaurant-quality food really isn’t as hard as it seems as long as you’re able to follow a recipe, which you are. 15. Start volunteering: It seems obvious, but so many organizations around Columbus need volunteers. There may seem to be fewer opportunities after the holidays but, in reality, there are always things that need done. Contact a food bank or ask around to see if friends have contacts with nonprofits like Special Olympics or Buddy Up Tennis. Basically, don’t be a piece of sh*t; give back to your community. •

Yoga Six opens in South Campus Gateway By Thailyr Scrivner

olumbus has seen a booming health and wellness scene in recent years and campus is finally getting a piece of it. As of December 10, Yoga Six has opened its doors in the South Campus Gateway offering upwards of 300 classes per month. This includes deep stretch, hot yoga, flow, power yoga, vinyasa, boot camp and free meditation classes. Yoga Six also has a second location in Upper Arlington. “We looked at environments where we could enhance the yoga landscape and one the specific ones was South Campus Gateway,” Meghan Rolfs, studio manager at Yoga Six Columbus, said. “There’s not a lot of places (on campus) besides the RPAC, which is wonderful, for people to really get that specialized yoga practice in.” The six in Yoga Six comes from the six multi-dimensional results they strive to deliver: stronger, leaner, clearer, calmer, braver and further. “All of our teachers are very steep in the philosophy of yoga; they’re into alignment,

adjustment, so that body is the gateway to the mind,” Rolfs said. “The modern accessible piece of it is has always been something we’ve been focused on in terms of if you come to a Yoga Six class and you’ve never been to yoga before you’re going to understand the language. It’s everyday language to get you into the poses.” The features of the studios themselves are unique to most other boutique fitness studios. This includes a specialized heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system that filters air into studio spaces every five minutes so the warmed rooms for classes are heated but not stale. Walls in each room are insulated with recycled sheep wool, which is said to help naturally absorb and detox the air. You’ll also notice Zebra Mats lining the floors as opposed to hardwood. These specific mats are naturally anti-microbial, or germ free, and also softer on the joints. Not unique to Yoga Six but a different concept from most yoga studios is the large communal area. “It’s definitely a place we want people

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

to congregate and feel comfortable and feel that sense of community,” Alison Embree, studio manager at Yoga Six Upper Arlington, said. The studio will be student-focused as they look to work with sororities, fraternities and other campus organizations to put on yoga events, Rolfs said. For students who are looking to practice between classes and studying, Yoga Six offers showers and sinks stocked with necessary toiletries. Yoga Six is located at 1624 North High Street. Visit yogasix.com to sign up for classes in advance. The cost for a drop-in class is $20, which can be purchased with BuckID. Along with new student pricing of $49 for a month unlimited, they also offer a 15 percent discount on memberships to full-time students and teachers with valid identification. Purchase of any package will allow you to take classes at either SCG or UA. Yoga Six also has a retail space which features local yoga-specific gear from companies like Bend Active. •

Downward DEhydrated Dog

By Jon McAllister

’m Jon. I like drinking, I have a poor diet for the most part, I have a no-exercise streak of years and won’t run unless being chased. That’s my motto, anyway. I got respect for you joggers out there, but what are y’all running from? So, I was assigned to report on this specifically because our wonderful editor-in-chief knows that I haven’t done anything good for my body since what I would guess to be a moderately spectacular dizzy-bat performance during a Beer Olympics in 2013. I finally made it to the brand new Yoga Six on High Street and, logically, I opted into the hottest of their hot yoga classes. My professionalism prevailed in my preparation: no sleep the night before and made sure to not drink even the entry-level human requisite of water. Alece Demaray, program manager and teacher, set me up with a nice little mat covered in a eucalyptus spray so I wouldn’t slide around in my toxins as they seeped from the darkest corners of my existence. Man, the room was so hot. It looked awesome, like a dojo in a space station but it was just really f *cking hot. Within minutes of the class beginning, I was drenched through my Captain Morgan tank top. For the first half hour, I was able to laugh along every time Alece modeled some pretzel-tangle, one-legged balance for me to wobble through. But smiling started to be a waste of energy as that special sort of worry set in: vomit...? I hadn’t been athletically dehydrated in such a long time – being more familiar with the more immediate, morning-after sort of consequences – I was waiting for the perfect tactical, stress position to bring about an untimely end to my fun. As Alece soothed the class, telling us to remove ourselves from our hectic daily routines, I felt my heart trying to complete it’s own out-of-body experience. After the spots went away upon standing, I left the dojo hotbox and entered the lobby. My whole being just sighed relief. It felt amazing, and I was having those dreams of improving my health and adding yoga to my erratic routines. The positive thought was interrupted as my yoga mat and my face towel loudly stumbled over each other, drunkenly struggling to call an Uber to transport them to the nearest laundry basket. • 1870NOW.COM • January 2016 • 1870 MAGAZiNE

DROPPING THE HAMMER:

Do We Have A Bowl Game Problem? This season, there were 41 bowl games. That’s about two dozen too many, right? By: Geoff Hammersley

e have an epidemic in college football: bowl games. Yes, the doctor ordered football for us to feast our eyes upon during the holidays, but it is too much of a good thing. Generally, you need to be .500 (6-6) to become bowl-eligible. This year, not every team followed that protocol. Three teams with 5-7 records (Nebraska, Minnesota and San Jose State) found their way into a bowl game because there weren’t enough teams to fill the slots at 6-6. Those three teams were determined via the Academic Progress Rate (APR), a barometer to gauge an institution’s ability to get student athletes to graduate. While I’m happy that Nebraska and Minnesota were able to represent the Big Ten, it defeats the incentive of playing a regular season. We’ve reached the point where we are commending teams that are below average with one more football game in December. If that’s the case, then why do the two worst teams not play in a bowl? As a society, we’ve reached a point where we want to pat every-

one on the back for a job well done – a participation trophy in the form of a bowl game that nobody will recall/remember two weeks after the game happens. It used to never be like this. Back in the 1970s, the Big Ten sent one team to a bowl game: the Rose Bowl. If Michigan went 11-1, but lost to an undefeated Ohio State team, then that meant the Wolverines would be sitting in front of their TVs watching the Buckeyes play for all the roses. For most of the 1970s, there were 11 bowl games. Then in 1977, there were 13 bowl games; in 1978, the college football world saw 15 bowls; and in 1983 the number pushed to 18. So, we can’t blame the good ol’ days for this bowl problem. In 2000, there were 25 bowls, which is still reasonable. Six current Big Ten teams found their way in – and three of those teams (Michigan, Purdue and Ohio State) played in a New Year’s Day bowl. But from 2005 to 2006, there was a jump

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

from 28 bowls to 32. This is within danger-zone territory in the amount of games. I get that all the conference champions should be represented, but looking at the 2005 regular season: Does the fourth best team in the MAC deserve to go to a bowl, when the conference’s collective strength of schedule was ranked dead last amongst all conferences? No, probably not. Well, that’s what I thought, up until a few weeks ago. Over winter break, I covered the Fiesta Bowl and Cactus Bowl. There are two games on two opposite ends of the bowl game spectrum. The Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl is a New Year’s Six bowl, and will be a semifinal host for the playoffs next season; the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl hosted a West Virginia squad who squeaked by with a 7-5 record and an Arizona State team that squeaked by an even closer margin, going 6-6. The Fiesta Bowl ended up being a blowout, while the Cactus Bowl came down to the final minutes.

If you want a good litmus test for why 41 bowl games really isn’t an astronomical amount, look no further than the postgame celebrations. Winning players hoisted their trophy up with pride, took photos with friends and families and can say that they ended their season (and for some, their college career) with a bowl win. While I was on the crusade to rid the world of the surplus of bowl games we have on our plate, I was wrong. The epiphany that hit me was that the bowl games are meant for the players, for a job well done this season. They were not made for me to criticize why there are two 6-6 teams duking it out on my TV in primetime. So, should every team play in a bowl game? No. The minimum record should still be 6-6. However, if an exception needs to be made, then I wouldn’t mind. We are talking about extra football here. Enjoy it while you can – because we all will be in tears when we realize we have to wait until August to see it again. • 1870NOW.COM • January 2016 • 1870 MAGAZiNE

Buckeye Hoops'

Roller Coaster Season By Ben Ferree

No one expected the Ohio State Men’s Basketball Team to be as good as some of the teams of recent memory. With no seniors and only one junior (Marc Loving) on the squad, head coach Thad Matta is relying heavily on unproven and young underclassmen. hat came to bite the Buckeyes early in the season when they had three straight home losses (and four overall) for the first time in half a century. The worst part is, not only did these losses come against well-respected teams like Virginia and Memphis, they also came against unranked non-conference opponents that are usually creampuffs. Ohio State lost to Texas-Arlington and Louisiana Tech before finally righting the ship with a victory over VMI (Virginia Military Institute).

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Then the season changed. In mid-December the Buckeyes traveled to Brooklyn to face No. 4 Kentucky. Going into that game, Ohio State was 5-5, struggling to get over .500 for the first time since they were 2-1. Miraculously, the same team that lost to Louisiana Tech at home was able to beat the Wildcats on a neutral site 74-67. Since that game, the team has gained confidence, and they haven’t looked back. The Buckeyes are rolling on a seven game win streak and are currently 3-0 in Big Ten conference play. Now, a team that looked like it may not make the NCAA Tournament has a solid chance to make a decent run in their own conference. There are still many obstacles ahead. The Big Ten teams the Buckeyes have defeated so far (Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern) are not of the same caliber as the rest of the conference. Maryland and Michigan State are both in the AP top five, and Purdue and Iowa are ranked as well. For the team to continue having success and secure a spot in March Madness, the underclassmen will need to continue to perform. While Loving may seem like the obvious leader of the team due to his seniority, his play is inconsistent. He could score 16 or six, and the Buckeyes will need someone more reliable than that. Three players to keep an eye on are freshman JaQuan Lyle, and sophomores Keita Bates-Diop and Jae’sean Tate. Tate has the energy and hustle night in and night out to truly lead a team. Averaging 10.9 PPG and 6.6 RPG, he is often a double-double threat. Tate’s weakness so far has been at the free throw line and from beyond the arc, but if he gets to the rim unopposed, he will be trouble. Lyle is the prototypical freshman point guard. The main question will always be in regards to his assists and turnovers. Against Northwestern, Lyle had seven assists, but six turnovers. However, he is also capable of great games like the one against Minnesota in which he had just one turnover and 13 assists. Add in the 9.2 PPG, and he has the capability to take over a game. Finally, the true scoring threat is Bates-Diop. Though he is only currently averaging 12.1 PPG, he can go off on any give night. His season high is 24 and he is remarkably consistent, getting into double digit points in 13 of his 16 games. While winning the conference is a dream, and any real tournament run very unlikely, the Buckeyes have the young talent in place to pull off an upset on any given night.

SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME

By: Geoff Hammersley

his was the day that many Buckeye followers feared: a mass exodus. Nine members of this Ohio State squad are declaring for the draft. Who can blame them? They helped bring a national championship to Columbus, Ohio, as well as play a part in the overall Ohio State domination since the Urban Meyer regime came into town. Let’s take a look at who will be filling the void for next year’s squad. 34

WITH NINE BUCKEYES DECLARING FOR THE NFL, THERE ARE SHOES TO FILL Wide Receiver: Noah Brown

Defensive End: Sam Hubbard

What could’ve been this year if Brown didn’t go down with a season ending leg injury in summer practice… This season, Thomas was the clear No.1 target in the receiving game, as he hauled in 49 receptions for 709 yards. Next on the reception list is Marshall with 31. If Brown was healthy, he would’ve snagged a few of the passes, but ultimately would’ve made the receiving game more spread out – it might’ve come in handy in the waning moments of the Michigan State game. Next year, he can get his redemption. Look for Brown to be on the top of Barrett’s targets downfield. With a young receiving core, Brown will have to be the leader for the likes of Parris Campbell, Jeff Greene and Johnnie Dixon.

Hubbard filled in for Bosa when he was suspended for the Virginia Tech game earlier this season. In the Fiesta Bowl, Hubbard was rotated around the line, as Adolphus Washington and Tommy Schutt were out. Hubbard ended up getting a sack and four tackles against DeShone Kizer, and helped solidify a Fiesta Bowl win. He’ll be a sophomore next year, and has already proven himself a key member of the future. Especially with Greg Schiano coming in to help with the defense, expect Hubbard to be a breakout star.

Filling in for: Michael Thomas

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Filling in for: Joey Bosa

Running back: Curtis Samuel

Filling in for: Ezekiel Elliott at RB, Braxton Miller at Slot Receiver We saw sparkles of the future with Samuel earlier this season. He can catch and run, and will help spread the field against defenses. Samuel rushed a touchdown from 40 yards out against Western Michigan, and caught a touchdown at Rutgers. Expect him to split time with Mike Weber as primary rusher. Samuel should wind up as the slot receiver next year, filling the hole left by Braxton Miller and Jalin Marshall.

Linebacker: Raekwon McMillan and Chris Worley Filling in for: Joshua Perry and Darron Lee

The one-two punch of Perry and Lee made it tough for offenses to work the middle of the field against the Buckeyes. With both gone next season, McMillan and Worley are tasked with filling the gaping void. We know what McMillan is made of – he led the team with 119 tackles this season. We don’t know what Worley can do when given time. This season, he tallied 17 tackles and a sack for the silver bullets. Next season, the McMillan and Worley line backing connection will be thrust into the limelight. We will find out how capable they are at stopping the running and passing game when the Buckeyes travel to Oklahoma in Week 3. 1870NOW.COM • January 2016 • 1870 MAGAZiNE

NO BRAKES FOR NERVOSAS Nervosas Plows Through Songs, Audiences By Jack Lynch

olumbus-based punks, Nervosas, are known for their absurd instrumental talent and their dark songs, which touch on anxious topics with all the finesse of a skillfully operated bulldozer. On the group’s new self-titled full-length album, released on Dirtnap Records earlier this year, the opening track called “Moral Panic” effectively encapsulates the template for a good Nervosas song: blistering tempos, pinpoint rhythmic precision, and dueling vocal melodies all squeezed into under two minutes.

“We don’t really like to talk between songs. We just like to play and not have any breaks, but that’s really hard because we play really fast,” said guitarist and vocalist Mickey Mocnik. And yet, the trio somehow pulls it off in a live setting, cranking out song after song in a flurry of eighth notes and impossibly fast drum rolls, led by Jeff Kleinman’s howling vocals and furious stage presence. “I don’t know,” said Kleinman, on his songwriting process. “I don’t know how it happens, really.”

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

“It’s a slow collaborative process. There’s an idea, then everyone fucks it up, so it’s collaborative in that way,” added drummer Nick Schuld. “It seems to me that Nervosas songs just come out of somewhere. It’s kind of primordial. It just oozes up and it happens.” No matter the techniques used, or lack thereof, the fact remains: these songs are absolutely worth a listen. As for the band’s current status, Nervosas is enjoying a rare opportunity for downtime in Columbus on the heels of a month-long European tour.

“There’s everything different, there’s nothing different,” said Schuld, on what it was like to tour Europe. “It’s people on the planet. It’s pretty much the same. Not that it’s boringly the same, it’s awesomely the same.” “We’ve done so much that we wanted to do that we’re just figuring out what to do next,” Mocnik said.

“Thinking about what you want to do before you do it is stupid. Either you have a passion for what you’re doing, or you don’t." However, according to Schuld, careful planning can inhibit the creative process. “Thinking about what you want to do before you do it is stupid. Either you have a passion for what you’re doing, or you don’t. If you don’t have a passion for it, then it’s gonna blow,” said Schuld. “And if you have a passion for it, it still might blow.” Fortunately for Nervosas, the passion for the music has paid off from the start. The band’s first full-length album, “Ardentes,” is a collection of songs just as consistent as their latest release, but approached from a different angle. A certain irreverent exuberance exists on songs like “Incinerator,” with its jangly guitar hook, and “Junky,” on which Kleinman sings, “My mother’s a junky, my best frienwd’s a junky, my priest is a junky, my boyfriend’s a junky.” The irreverence still exists today, but the excitement of those early songs has been replaced by a burning intensity that’s compelling to listen to and captivating to witness. Album highlight “Parallel” creates the atmosphere of an epic struggle, plowing through a verse before arriving at its explosive chorus, propelled forward by Schuld’s creative cymbal chokes and Mocnik’s pitch-perfect soprano belt. The albums capture the band’s live sound, but Nervosas is best experienced firsthand. “You know what I wanna tell OSU? Walk across the street and go to some fucking shows,” Schuld said. “If you get outside the campus bubble, you’ll enjoy Columbus more, that’s for sure,” Mocnik added.

Avoid Wasting Food & Money At The Grocery Store By: Ashley Wilkinson Photo: Monstruo Estudio

Throwing away food at the end of the week because it has become too old to consume is basically like throwing away hard earned money. Many college students have issues with this because of busy schedules, lack of cooking motivation and the numerous delivery services available. But there are ways to avoid wasting grocery store bought items just by following a few simple steps.

shopping tips • THE ESSENTIALS

Milk, eggs and bread are the typical goto when visiting the grocery store. If you don’t consume much of these items, buy smaller cartridges of milk and eggs. You can also purchase half loafs of bread. It’s also beneficial to split bigger items like a dozen eggs or a gallon of milk with your roommates. You buy them one week, and your roommate buys them the next week.

• FREEZE, FREEZE, FREEZE

If you are a person who tends to end up with moldy food in your refrigerator, you should consider freezing your food. You can freeze pretty much everything such as fruit, meat, bread and even cookies. If you make a point to freeze leftovers you aren’t sure you want to eat in the next few days, you’ll have a weeks worth of meals at hand in no time.

• PLAN WEEKLY MEALS

If you plan out your meals in advance before the grocery store, you will have a better idea of how much food you are going to consume. Make sure to consider leftovers for bigger meals as well as eating out. There’s nothing worse than going into a grocery store blind. Say goodbye to your paycheck.

• BE INVENTIVE

Eating the same leftovers time after time can get extremely boring. If you have a lot of leftovers, spice it up! This may take some experimentation or some research on Pinterest, but it is possible to make meatloaf into a delicious beef empanada.

Dada Empanada

Photo by Chris casella

By Ashley Wilkinson

estled in a small shop on the corner of Summit Street and Chittenden Avenue, a new, inviting restaurant called Dada Empanada has opened its doors to the University District in hopes of attract curious college students. The restaurant is one-of-a-kind as it focuses on one specialty item, empanadas. An empanada is a stuffed pastry that is filled with various combinations of cheese, meat and vegetables and then fried. Although Dada Empanada occupies a very small storefront, the employees can often be found preparing fresh treats to satisfy hungry customers. Dada Empanada began when the owner, Elier Rodriguez, decided to move to Columbus from New York to pursue a culinary career. He planned on opening a restaurant in the North Market, but ended up purchasing a food cart to make ends meet while he searched for a storefront. The food cart was

an extreme hit, and when the small storefront on the corner of Summit Street and Chittenden Avenue went up for sale, Rodriguez decided to give it a try. The atmosphere of the restaurant is extremely happy and inviting. When walking into the snug restaurant, you are immediately greeted by friendly staff members waiting to take your order. Although the menu is rather small compared to many restaurants, it may take a while to choose which empanadas to order (well, it took me a while) because many of them sound very enticing. Currently, the empanada menu includes spicy chicken, beef, Italian, black and blue (beef and blue cheese), spinach and mushroom, veggie, three cheese, Hawaiian, mofongo (fried plantains, bacon, and cheese), as well as the scrumptious Nutella dessert empanada. Rodriguez also plans to have occasional empanada specials on the menu.

My personal favorite out of the seven empanadas I sampled was the Mofongo. I had not had plantains before but was curious about how they taste. Plaintains are a type of banana that is cooked before serving and are a staple in parts of Africa and Central America. The plantain tasted like a tad-sweeter version of a loaded mashed potato and the empanada shell was warm and flaky. Dada Empanada also serves fried plantain chips with creamy avocado sauce: an amazing alternative to very well known Latin sides such as rice and beans. It seems as though Dada Empanada is a hit with those who have tried it. The small store is occasionally packed with customers and this may seem annoying but getting the fresh empanadas in the end is definitely worth it. If you want to avoid the small packed storefront, you can place your order for Dada Empanada on GrubHub for delivery. â&#x20AC;˘

The first time I was asked if I wanted to try “Karate Cowboy” I thought it had to be some sort of new (and really strange) fitness fad…but of course, that was not the case. It happens to be the brand name of a unique spin on Japanese sake and American spirits.

TOKYO MULE • 1.5 oz Karate Cowboy • 4.0 oz Ginger Beer (Sub Ginger Ale for more sweetness) • Splash of Lime or Lime Wedge (I recommend both) • Served over ice

PINK COWBOY • 1.5 oz Karate Cowboy • 3.0 oz Pink or Regular Grapefruit • Splash of or topped with Soda • Served over ice

’m sure you have probably tried some questionable shots and concoctions while out at the bars on campus, but local start-up Karate Cowboy is about to hit y’all with something new. The drink’s co-founder is an Ohio State alum named Mark Tinus, and it definitely isn’t his first rodeo. But it probably will be your first. There’s a new sake in town and the flavor is a sweet and spicy Honey Wasabi. Yep, Honey Wasabi. Sounds pretty questionable but, if you like a little spice, it’ll hit your flavor palette just right. The sake goes down smooth with a sweet honey taste to start and a kick that will tickle your throat afterwards. Impress your friends with a brand new concoction. Or do what I did and say, “Try this. I’m not telling you what it is.” You’re guaranteed to get some funny post-shot faces and then a whole lot of, “Wow, it’s not that bad. Let me try another one.”

KARATE BOMBS • 1.5 oz Karate Cowboy • 1.5 oz Energy Drink (or substitute Ginger Beer)

KAMIKAZE COWBOY • 1.5 oz Karate Cowboy • 0.5 oz Lime Juice • 0.5 oz Triple sec

Karate Cowboy is available at Campus State Liquor, Grandview Yard Market District and Arena Wine and Spirits.

Drinks AT Dahlia’s By Gabby Voris

eed a little Vegas in your life without burning a hole in your wallet? Opening this upcoming February, Dahlia Bar & Lounge aims to redefine your entertainment and dining experiences with an all-new, sophisticated ambiance. A partner in Peerless Management Group, Mike Mercer, said the name came from the unique dahlia flower. “The dahlia signifies dignity and elegance…Most flowers have two genes; however, the dahlia has eight. For this, it’s called the Houdini of the garden due to its wondrous shapes, sizes and colors,” Mercer said. He added that many people who grow dahlia flowers in their garden refer to them as the “queen of the autumn garden.” Dahlia, which will be open Tuesday through Saturday 4 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., wants to bring elegance to the Arena District as it replaces the current Bucks & Pucks location at 147 Vine Street. The venue has been under renovation as the owners want to make sure Dahlia Bar & Lounge is a mixture of contemporary and modern design. Owners say the back patio will be expanded and will make an ideal spot to rent out for date parties, birthdays and more. Not only will Dahlia Bar & Lounge have dancing and bottle service, they’ll also have a food menu. Because you can’t have a great night without some great food. The kitchen will be open till 10 p.m. nightly. “The flower also stands for diversity,” Mercer said. Which is what the bar is hoping to add to Arena District. So, will the saying, ”What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” still hold true? Or, I guess I should say, “What happens at Dahlia stays at Dahlia.” You can be the judge of that!

ART makes OHIO T

By Carly Cheton

o say that the city of Columbus emphasizes locality would be an understatement. It’s a well-known fact that our residents support the growing food, art and entrepreneurial endeavors that originate here. And it’s gotten to the point where there are more businesses opening and events happening than most of us can hope to keep track of.

Cue the Art Makes Columbus initiative, a five-year marketing campaign aiming to boost revenue, awareness and engagement in the capital city’s local arts scene and, eventually, the arts scene on campus, too. Launched at the Columbus Arts Festival this past June, the campaign seeks to shed light on the incredible creative talent that’s unique to Columbus alone, according to Jami Goldstein, vice president of marketing, communications and advertising with the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Made possible by the collaborative efforts of the Columbus Cultural Leadership Consortium, GCAC and out-raised private dollars, the campaign has so far resulted in billboards on display throughout the city, a series of video advertisements, a social media movement and a website detailing upcoming arts events and performances, affiliated organizations and “Stories Behind the Art” of a number of featured artists. “We can unequivocally say that the first six months have been a success in raising awareness and engagements,” Goldstein said. Yet, these increased measures aren’t the campaign’s only goal. Goldstein noted that with each passing year, the initiative aims to expand its reach. In 2016, messaging will be taken statewide, and a greater emphasis will be placed on making an impact on Ohio State’s campus.

“We actually worked with the Buckeye Leadership Institute this fall, with a group of students there who took a look at how we might be able to better engage the student population with the campaign and with these stories. It’s probably going to be small things in 2016, and looking at 2017, we’re trying to make a bigger foray into campus. It could be as simple as bus stop poster placements, or promotions inside the campus buses, or even an ambassador program, ” Goldstein said. An emphasis has also been placed on sharing individual artists’ stories and sources of inspiration, as each person’s contribution is what make ups Columbus’ art scene. “The reason that we are hanging our hat on individuals who make art in our city is that there’s just so much information out there. People are having events and products pushed at them all the time. And we wanted to humanize this,” Goldstein said. “There are people in this city who have incredible stories, who are creative and inspiring, who are passionate and purposeful in their creative endeavors. And no other city has this collection of people. No other city has this collection of talent.” “We really feel, at the end of the day, that the more we know about the people who create our art, the more we want to experience that art,” Goldstein said. Local musician Angela Perley, of Angela Perley and the Howlin’ Moons, notes an increased amount of conversation about local art since the campaign came about, with her band’s story being one of many showcased throughout the first six months. “It’s definitely created a nice dialogue, where people are finding out more about what’s going on,” she said. The collaborative nature of the campaign has contributed to a sense of community and pride in the arts scene as well, according to Perley. “It makes me so happy to be able to shine a spotlight, particularly on the individual artists who are trying to make a living while they’re making art…To be able to give them exposure, and to help the people of Columbus recognize what treasures we have here,” Goldstein said. To learn more about the Art Makes Columbus initiative, more information can be found on the campaign’s website, columbusmakesart.com, and social media channels.

ach January, hundreds of hopeful Ohio State women trek through the winter cold to fourteen different Panhellenic sorority houses in search of a home away from home. Though hundreds have walked through their doors, only eight percent of students are Greek, meaning the vast majority of students have never and will never set foot into a sorority house during their time at Ohio State. That's where we come in. 1870 MAGAZiNE â&#x20AC;˘ January 2016 â&#x20AC;˘ 1870NOW.COM

CONFESSIONS

What a sorority house is really like

An interesting thing happens when you join a sorority. You begin to identify yourself as part of a group rather than as an individual. This is what allows you to make an idiot of yourself in the name of philanthropy. This also let’s you take partial credit for the sick banner someone spent hours painting, despite not knowing of its existence until it was hung outside your house. On the negative end, you can lose yourself a little.

had always valued my sense of independence, and didn’t mind running errands on my own or spending a night in. After living in a sorority house, I could no longer go anywhere without a mini entourage. Be it class, the RPAC, or the street meat stand across from the O; someone had to be by my side at all times. So, the unfortunate realization that my pals were not readily available to accompany me to work or Walgreens or the gym in the “real world” was quite a harsh one. While coming to grips with this newfound loneliness, I entertained the idea that joining a sorority didn’t do all the “amazing” things I had bragged about during recruitment the past three years. For starters, the recruitment process is absolutely insane. The houses rarely look like the spotless, organized mansion that you’ll see during recruitment. Very rarely. I mean, it probably goes without saying that when 40 plus girls all get home at the same time from a gathering where the only objective is to get drunk in ridiculous clothes, a shitshow ensues. It suffices to say the communal bathrooms were especially unpredictable on such evenings. The aftermath of those particular nights was the worst part of living in; the feeling of collective shame hanging in the air throughout breakfast. The state of the house would border on horrifying, and there was no place you could be shocked to find half-demolished/digested food. Even people could be found literally anywhere in the house, including one morning when our house mom walked into her room to find a girl passed out naked in her bed. Besides the unrealistic state of the houses, you literally cannot let a potential new member leave your house with so much as a napkin during recruitment or it is considered a “gift,” and you could get an infraction. I have seen terror wash over the face of PNMs (poten-

tial new member aka girls going through recruitment) as active members (girls already in the sorority) politely ask to collect their chewed gum on the way out the door in efforts to avoid said infraction. Meanwhile fraternity recruitment is as simple as, “Hey man, come over and have some beers at the house tonight.” But, that’s another story. If you want to see what sorority life is really like, venture downstairs during recruitment voting. It’s truly fascinating to watch girls cry and insist a certain PNM needs to be in your sorority, despite having spoken to that person for a total of maybe 20 minutes. It’s even more unsettling to watch your “sisters” try to convince the chapter not to vote in an active member’s relative right in front of them. While recruitment can be tough, living in a house with 40-something girls is not the awful social experiment it might sound like. All meals were made by our chef, our bathrooms were cleaned by someone who was not me, and I always had someone to watch “Law and Order” with: what more could a girl ask for? The downside came when I had to hear 40 girls complain about how they should really go to the gym, or stop eating carbs, or stop being so fat. This probably speaks more to the culture of girls/society in general, but it’s hard to hear an XXS whine about her love handles. There is a pretty intense focus on looks, and that does wear on you after time. You can get caught up in the more trivial aspects of life, like being hot, and that can push you a little closer to the stereotyped version of a sorority girl. So, joining a sorority will not kill you. If you can handle recruitment without gouging your eyes out, if you can look beyond the sometimes-materialistic conversations and if you can embrace the philanthropic aspect more than just once a year; then, maybe, the srat life is the life for you. Or maybe not.

If you want to see what sorority life is really like, venture downstairs during recruitment voting. It’s truly fascinating to watch girls cry ...

PART ONE: GRANDVIEW

remember the first time I used a COTA bus. Safe to say, I hadn’t done enough research before getting on the bus. A brief recap: the person sitting next to me stood up at one point and dropped two Four Lokos on the ground. She was not messing around and did not offer to share. I tried not to laugh and then tried not to make eye contact because I knew she thought I was judging her. Little did she know, Lokos had been my drink of choice in recent years. But anyway, I continued on my journey watching the streets go by and eventually watching my destination go by. Nobody told me you were supposed to pull the yellow things on the window if you wanted to stop. Thankfully, Four Loko Lady could sense my distress and asked if that was my stop to which I just replied, “Yep.” She took charge and yelled at the bus driver to stop, which he did, and I thanked her profusely and stepped off the bus, vowing to never do that to myself again. If you haven’t caught the moral of the story by now, let me spell it out: COTA buses are useless if you don’t know where you’re going or what you’re doing. Well, lucky for you, 1870 is here to make things easier for you. Get out your BuckID, climb on that bus and explore little pieces of Columbus. Hey, it’s free. Our first adventure takes place in a little ol’ town called Grandview. If you’ve ever been to the Target near campus (who hasn’t been to the Target near campus?), you’ve seen the smallest snippet possible of Grandview. In order to get the full taste, hop on bus route 82 Crosstown Grandview/OSU which stops at 9th Avenue and Medical Drive and 12th Avenue and North High Street on campus. Hop off on stop three on Grandview Avenue and West 5th Avenue and you’re on your way to a day of adventuring in Columbus.

MATT THE LOCAL CANTINA MILLER'S TAVERN Head south on Grandview Avenue, and you’ll find our first spot: Local Cantina. Open at 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday and 3 p.m. on weekdays, Local Cantina offers a more grownup margarita and taco getaway. With more than ten craft beers on tap, even if you’re not a margarita person, it’s still likely that you’ll find something you like. If you are a marg-lover, try their Mustache Ride made with Olmeca Altos Plato, lime, Grand Marnier and agave. Their Bearded Lady margarita combines the traditional drink with grapefruit soda and they also offer a mix of Moscow Mule and margarita called the Mexican Mule. Local Cantina has 14 different tacos to pick from including baja shrimp, cantina fajita, BBQ beef brisket and avocado B.L.T. Drink up, but make sure you can still walk ‘cause we’ve got places to go and people to see.

Right across the street, you’ll find Matt the Miller’s Tavern. If you’re looking for a scrumptious, boozy brunch, this is it. Each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Matt the Miller’s Tavern offers a mouth-watering, buffet-style brunch. And, you know what they say: “The only thing better than brunch is a brunch with a buffet.”

Vernacular features men and women’s clothing, so, ladies, you won’t even have to feel bad if you drag bae along because he’ll probably find something he really enjoys, too. Vernacular opened in 2013 and now has two locations. One is in Grandview, another in German Village and a third store is set to open in Worthington in the spring.

The buffet features an omelet station, bacon, eggs, hash browns, waffles, eggs Benedict, flatbreads, fruit and salads. So, basically anything and everything you’ve ever craved on a Sunday morning. The buffet keeps it local with a coffee bar by Crimson Cup and also features a Bloody Mary bar. (Mimosas are available to those who cannot stomach tomato juice with a hangover, or at any other time.)

“We go to market five times per year to source the latest and greatest products and apparel for the best price-points,” said co-owner, Chelsea Cabot. Cabot describes the shop as “east coast classic with a west coast vibe style.”

That way, when the Bloody Mary makes you a little sleepy, you can head on over to the coffee bar to wake yourself back up. Buffet: $16.95, coffee bar: $2.95, Bloody Mary bar: $7. After a brunch buffet, where you probably ate way too much, a little walking and shopping is necessary. Right next door to Matt the Miller’s is Vernacular, a local clothing and accessories shop.

OBJECTS

Continue down the Grandview Avenue and you’ll find Objects, Vernacular’s sister store. Objects originally opened in 2010 in Clintonville and then moved to its spot in Grandview. Objects has modern and classic home decor and stationery. If you have a soft spot for trinkets for your house, beware. Objects has more trinkets than you ever knew existed. The little things add up, so pace yourself.

STAUF'S

Across the street from Objects is Stauf’s Coffee. With locations in Grandview, German Village and North Market, Stauf’s is a staple for Columbus coffee-goers. If you need to take some time to study for classes or just generally get your life together before midterms hit, Stauf’s is a great place to do that. Because of its location, Stauf’s draws a crowd of studious young professionals each day and night. Take a break from Thompson and the SEL and do some homework in a fresh and new setting. And, obviously, try some of their coffee.

To return to campus, head back to bus stop 3 on Grandview Avenue and W 5th Avenue. For specific bus times, check cota.com. 1870NOW.COM • January 2016 • 1870 MAGAZiNE

Safe tech

& Sound OSU student designs crime notification service By Alex Antonetz

When Dean Sturgis took his own life after vandalizing the “After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists” installation at the Wexner Center for the Arts on Nov. 29, some students took to social media to express frustration that Ohio State did not send out a safety alert as law enforcement investigated the scene.

n comes Cailin Pitt, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, and his email service, AwareOSU, designed to mine local police reports to notify users of any crimes that have occurred in the University District. 1870 talked to Pitt about AwareOSU, and while he said it’s not built to replace the university’s real-time, Buckeye Alert system, it’s still getting plenty of love among concerned students, especially on Reddit. Let's start at square one. Tell us what AwareOSU does and detail the process in building it. AwareOSU is a program that visits the websites of the Columbus and Ohio State Police Departments every morning, gathers information related to crimes that occurred in the university area during the previous day and emails the information to people who signed up for the service. Originally, AwareOSU only reported on off-campus crimes, but I added the feature early on to also report on-campus crimes. I've added several features over the past several months, including Google Maps so users can visualize where crimes occurred, and a weekly delivery option so users can choose between receiving daily or weekly crime updates.

Obviously, safety on campus is something that students are fairly outspoken about, whether it's about something as relatively innocuous as Mirror Lake and icy sidewalks or crime. Where was the idea for AwareOSU born, and what do you want to come from it? During fall break, I was hanging out with two of my friends. I'm an RA, and one of my other friends is an RA as well. My RA friend was mentioning that one of his residents had gotten brutally mugged and beaten on Summit Street the night before. We started talking about how frustrating it is to not be aware of crimes that happen around the university area. My friends and I are all fourth-years, and throughout our time at Ohio State, we've heard the same frustrations voiced from students, but nothing has really changed.Anyway, as I was sitting there listening to my friends talk, I got the idea that I could write a program that gathered online crime information and emailed it to people who were interested in being informed. I figured that I knew a couple of friends who might be interested in receiving notifications from something like this, and I wrote AwareOSU the next day. In terms of what I want to come from it, there are several things. First, I want people to be safe and informed. I believe that if students are aware of the crimes that occur around campus, they will be safer and

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

make informed decisions (such as where they walk at night, where they choose to live, etc.). My other desire is for the university to see how important students value crime/safety notifications, and to implement something like this. I see AwareOSU existing as an alternative option until the university offers their own notification tool. Many students complained that a safety notice wasn't sent out while police investigated the suicide at the Wexner Center for the Arts in November. Sometimes safety notices are sent out, sometimes they aren't, and the university has laid out its criteria for what warrants one. Have you been listening to those discussions, and do you think AwareOSU can help better educate the university district as situations like these occur? I've been having a lot of discussions with people on both sides (people who agree that the university should not have sent a safety notice and people who think the university should have sent one) of the fence in order to try and understand how people were feeling about the situation. It's been pretty enlightening to hear both sides, but most people I've talked to agree that a safety notice should have been sent. I think the problem most people had with the Wexner Center situation is that most found out about

the situation through social media, word of mouth, or didn't find out at all. I personally found out that a situation was unfolding at the Wexner Center through Reddit, and because many people didn't have credible information on the situation, rumors began to spread. For example, one of my friends told me that there was an active shooter on campus who was killing people. In terms of AwareOSU helping to educate the university district, I believe that it can. AwareOSU was never meant to be a real-time, emergency notification service. That job belongs to Ohio State. However, I believe it can still inform people of situations like this. AwareOSU actually did include information about the Wexner Center situation the next day. Has the university supported your project at all, and if so, in what ways? I haven't received much support, but I've received some encouraging words from the university. I believe the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance is that every crime does not need to be a safety notice, which is why they haven't officially endorsed AwareOSU. AwareOSU has gotten a lot of attention. It's even gotten some love on Reddit. How many people are using the service now? And what has the publicity been like for you? Currently there are over 750 people using AwareOSU. It's been an incredible journey. I never expected AwareOSU to become something that 750 people used. When I finished writing and testing AwareOSU during fall break, I posted about the service on Facebook and provided a link to sign up for it. Within 17 hours, 100 people had signed up for it. The love and support has been amazing. The publicity has also been great because it has helped spread the word about AwareOSU and many people have signed up for the service as a result. The publicity has also been exciting and humbling for me personally because it allows me to see the result of taking different concepts that I learned about in my classes this semester and turn it into something real that helps people stay safe. Let's say there's a dangerous situation on campus. You need to inform the OSU population. In a best-case scenario, what do you think needs to be done? What could be done better? In a best-case scenario, I think using Buckeye Alerts to text students and staff in order to inform everyone would be the best way. Going back to the Wexner Center situation, the earliest official response students received from the university was about six hours after the situation had been resolved. Having (and using) an efficient way to quickly inform the OSU population of a dangerous situation is something that I think needs to be improved upon. â&#x20AC;˘

What to expect in the New Year

P techie horizon.

By Adam Ambro

redicting what news will dominate the tech world in the coming year is about an exact a science as crystal ball gazing, but if the recent holiday sale season is any indication, there are certain things we can expect to see in 2016. Popular items like gaming consoles continue to thrive, but there are some new contenders just over the

The arrival of VR: 2016 is the year to get virtual. After almost three years of teases at electronic shows, it’s time to put up or shut up for two of the biggest proponents of virtual reality, Oculus and PlayStation. The Facebook-owned “Oculus Rift” is expected to be the first product to hit the market sometime in the first quarter of 2016 and from all accounts, will likely live up to the hype. The only foreseeable downside is the cost (predictions have it priced anywhere from $500 to $1,500) and the requirement to own a PC in order to use it.

“PlayStation VR,” formerly known as “Project Morpheus,” will be the next major VR machine to hit the market, sometime in “the first half of 2016,” according to PlayStation. This device should be more affordable, but only in comparison to the Rift; it’s still expected to land somewhere in the $300 to $400 price range. Even though Sony has sold more than 30 million units of the Playstation 4 and “PlayStation VR” has enjoyed good word of mouth, it still faces an uphill battle because peo-

ple will only be sold once they get their hands on the device. And with the price being that of basically a new console, I think very few will be likely take that initial gamble of buying it at launch.

Apple “watch” 2016: Like “Madden” or “Call of Duty,” another year means another line of updated Apple products. While we wait to see if CEO Tim Cook has anything innovate hidden up his sleeve, the only thing we can surely count on is an iPhone 7 and 7 Plus reveal, along with an updated Apple Watch model. The next iPhone iteration is reportedly ditching its standard headphone jack altogether. Instead, the phone will come with only a lightning charging port and a headphone adapter that would plug into it. This would be another way for Apple to sell only its proprietary hardware to consumers and try and cut out third-party vendors selling cheaper products. Meanwhile, Apple continues to beat the dead horse that is its smartwatch initiative, with an expected launch of a second iteration of the Apple Watch as early as March. Many in the know believe this update will incorporate a camera to make facetime calls. While 2015 saw the rise of 4K TVs and more options for cord cutters, overall there weren’t many memorable tech releases, save for perhaps the unnecessary return of the stylus for the iPad Pro. Here’s hoping that whatever innovations 2016 brings, they’re something we can be excited about for years to come.

"You are the Marc to my Jacob"

Witty, right? Well, you can't give me the credit for it, all the glory goes to Maria Luciana Martinez and her brand.

By Tamika Smith She's the mastermind behind LUCIANA (byluciana.com), which embodies unique and cool slogan-filled tees, tanks, hoodies and crewnecks along with a great attention to detail, craftsmanship and a substantial amount of passion. Martinez's brand is widely known as it has had its share of esteem; from being in magazines like Capital Style to Cosmopolitan and even featured in Vogue...yes, Vogue! But, what makes her brand and story so admirable? Well, she started her journey to entrepreneurship right here – in Columbus. The Columbia native moved to the states in order to attend the Columbus College of Art Design; a move that impacted the start to her career and led to her success as a entrepreneur and fashion designer. Martinez is undoubtedly one of great creativity and devotion. Along with her zealousness for fashion and hard work she also accredits “late

nights, friends, [her] broken English and brother’s smarts” to the witty slogans on her tees that helped to form LUCIANA. On her beginning Growing up I always gravitated towards things I found aesthetically beautiful but it wasn't until I began studying graphic design at CCAD that I fell in love with branding and fashion. I was lucky enough to cut my teeth at Victoria's Secret out of college and saw just how important creativity is to the success of a campaign and not only that – a brand. I have always dreamt of designing things that inspire me and that's essentially how I got started with LUCIANA. Ultimately, CCAD gave me the strongest foundation I could have ever hoped for. Every year, CCAD does their annual fashion show at the end of the year and I have fond memories of attending for many friends. There are so many creative people there that I have met and kept in touch with and it seems like if I ever have questions related to something, I am connected to someone at CCAD who knows the answer. On her career challenges I think my biggest challenge has been actually learning the business side of things. I didn't go to school for fashion design or anything relat-

ed to business; I was an advertising and graphic design major and I spent all my extra hours in art therapy classes, which I loved. Learning about the manufacturing process, sourcing materials, customer service, patterns, supply chain management and logistics are not my cup of tea! Advice I would give to any young adult wanting to follow a path similar to mine is – just do it! Cliché maybe, but it's the purest and most honest piece of advice I would ever give because someone gave it to me once and it kinda worked! Start somewhere – anywhere. It doesn't matter, as long as you take the first step. It's easy to feel overwhelmed at the beginning and get bogged down in minor details, but once you take the first step it gets a little easier to take the next one every time. On her accomplishments More than anything, I am probably most proud of overcoming my own fears. For any Entrepreneur, it's important to celebrate the personal accomplishments along with the business ones because sometimes it's hard to continue pushing yourself along with the business all the time. Also, being featured in Vogue – that's a close second! On 2016 and LUCIANA There's more fun to come! We're working on doing more campaigns this year along with expanding our product line. We have a great year in store! You can look at, fall in love with and purchase LUCIANA apparel, art prints, frames and bags at byluciana.com.

out with the o l d in with then e w Low rise, wide leg pants are going to give all things highwaisted a run for their money. They're not only comfy (you can actually sit down in them without cutting your stomach in half ) but they also can translate to so many different styles.

ladies

“New year, new me.” I know we're all tired of hearing people say this. It's pretty cliché. But, the saying does have some validity to it. With the New Year comes a great time to reinvent yourself; whether this means setting new goals or trying new things. A New Year is a great time to throw out all things passé, including pieces of your wardrobe. When reinventing your wardrobe, change is great; whether you're adding new clothing pieces or you're adding alterations to old ones. There are tons of ways to bring in the new with your wardrobe, making your 2016 style one of epically chic proportions.

Along with low-rise pants is another piece that incorporates all things comfy and chic – the robe. If you haven't noticed an ongoing #robelife hashtag on social media, you eventually will. Silk and poplin robes are stepping out of the house and into daytime streets in 2016. Last but not least, don't forget to give the cold shoulder this year. Off-the-shoulder tops have reigned sovereign in 2015; and that's not changing anytime soon. Along with tops, offthe-shoulder dresses will dominate the spring.

gents

While vintage was really in for the ladies in 2015, 2016 will be the retro year in menswear. Bowling shirts are going to be staple pieces that every guy should try out. Paired with tapered trousers, the classic men's outfit will be made anew. Along with the retro shirts, suit blazers will also be a reoccurring trend for menswear in 2016. Whether in bold colors or in pinstripe pattern, every guy should be able to find a blazer that suits their style (see what I did there?).

everyone

Basics. Just because it's a new year, it doesn't mean you have to completely change everything. You should always make sure you incorporate basics in your wardrobe. Stocking up on new basic jeans and tees is always a good idea. Incorporating basics into your everyday wardrobe makes your style seem effortless yet well put together. Upcycle. If you're not familiar with upcycling, where have you been? With upcycling clothing, you can take a favorite article of clothing that may not be so up-to-date and turn it into something trendier. All you need is a quick search through Pinterest and updating your wardrobe becomes both creative and inexpensive. Donate. While some of your clothing may be old or no longer wanted, they may be just what someone else is looking for. Since I’ve thrown around a couple of clichés already, here’s another one: one man's trash is another man's treasure. When you're getting rid of old clothing, don't simply throw stuff away; take your unwanted clothing to a local thrift store. That way, someone can get use out of your old pieces. While you're donating, don't forget to look around the thrift store, too. You may find that another person's trash is your treasure.

DIY: Ga llery Wa ll

By Lauren Every

January is a time to start fresh. To renew old promises you’ve made to yourself and to restart on better habits. But, nothing can dim your newfound spark of motivation like a bedroom that doesn’t feel like home. The relaxation isn’t there and there’s no time to unwind if your room doesn’t feel like your own. There’s much that can be done to make a room feel homey but, unfortunately, with dorms and campus housing, your options are limited. You can’t paint your walls, you can’t buy your own furniture in the dorms and, in some places, you can’t even put nails in the walls. Well, keep your head up. It’s never too late to make your room feel comfortable. And it’s never too late to make it comfortable while saving some money.

Downloading free prints is convenient because you can print them at home. You can also try them out in various sizes to make sure your wall looks exactly how you want it to.

Pick up frames (usually an odd number looks best) of various shapes, sizes and colors at a dollar store or craft store. If you’re looking for a mixture of textures, try a thrift shop. Vintage frames bring an extra something special to any wall and will complete the look of the gallery wall.

Start with your biggest items first and then start framing your other pieces around them. The beauty is really in the eye of the frame holder as you can make your wall as symmetrical or asymmetrical as you please. If you can, use nails or screws to keep your items on the wall. If you can’t puncture your walls, use one Command Hook on the top of your item and then more Command Strips to the side and center of the item as needed.

The frames of your gallery wall can be filled with whatever you want. Pictures of family and friends can be printed out at CVS for a few dollars and downloadable prints with inspiring quotes, pictures and graphics can be found in all corners of the Internet for free.

Once you have your wall set out just how you like it, start putting the pieces on your wall one by one, starting with the item in the center and moving outward. This will help you make sure that your spacing stays how you want.

Find an open space on your floor and lay out all your completed items. It’s helpful to have some sort of shape you want your frames to end up in whether it is a rectangle, oval or diamond.

1870 MAGAZiNE • January 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Mixing in painted canvases or fun wooden items can bring an elegant, country or nautical look.

Any room looks more like home with a good picture frame or ten. Gallery walls have become very popular in recent years and making your own can be done for less than $30.

After your gallery wall is finished, take a step back and admire your hard work. Then get inspired and find more pieces to add on. The best thing about gallery walls is that it never has to end and there’s always room for change.

When It Comes To Relationships, Millennials Have

NO GUTS

By Caitlin Essig @caitlinessig

y brother started dating his wife when he was 18. It was 2008 and it was simple — he flirted with her, she asked for his number, he asked her to be his girlfriend, then his wife and now, more than seven years later, they’re still happy. The three of us were talking recently about dating in 2015 — with Tinder, texting and near-total loss of labels (and sanity). Let’s just say neither of them was jealous of me, the 23-year-old single person. Somewhere along the lines, people like me, who didn’t find the love of their lives at 18, were taught it’s more normal to be single than to want what my brother and sister-in-law have. It’s more “normal” to “date” a bunch of people at once, while never really dating any of them — because wanting to define the relationship makes you crazy. Normal is texts lighting up your phone at 2 a.m. with requests to “hang out.” Normal is waiting until you’re drunk to gather the courage to admit how you actually feel,

and then regretting it when you reread the conversation the next day. Jokes about how you’re going to die alone or how you’re dead inside are normal. Sometimes so normal you’re not sure if they’re jokes anymore. Normal is an abrupt ending to something that was never really anything, so you’re not supposed to feel any heartache when it inevitably fizzles out. He was never your boyfriend, so being upset would be crazy. Normal is feeling that heartache anyway, but knowing to keep it to yourself. It’s like we’re all waiting to call each other’s bluff, but no one wants to make that first move. You don’t want to say you care because what if they don’t? While maybe the same thought is burning in their mind. My favorite scene in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is when George Peppard (George Peck) tells off Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) in a moment of defeat as the rain pours on a New York City street (classic). Peppard says, “You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're

chicken; you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, ‘Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.’” That movie was released in 1961, and the Truman Capote novel it’s based on was written in 1958, but those words might as well be directed at my generation. We’re chicken. We’ve got no guts. We can’t settle down because we’re told there are shiny other options we might miss out on if we do. So we let people who could truly be right for us slip through our fingers — or worse, we spend months (or even years) stringing them along. We spend afternoons fantasizing about the last time we spoke to our person and the last time we shared a bed. Did he hug me tighter than usual that day? Did he want me to stay longer? Would he have cooked me breakfast if I’d asked? I should text him. Because calling would be crazy. But then again, I’ve got no guts.
