CRAFT BEER, BRO Students prefer taste over price, and quality over quantity when going out By JACK LYNCH
T
he numbers are in, and they spell good news for brewers of craft beer. All across the country, sales of craft beer are up by 18 percent, netting the industry its most profitable year ever, while total beer sales are up by only 0.5 percent, according to the Craft Brewer’s Conference “State of the Industry” report. In 2014 alone, 615 craft breweries opened nationwide—an 18 percent increase in the number of craft breweries in one year. The kicker: the trend is being driven not just by longtime beer drinkers, but largely by college students. In spite of the fact that millennials only make up 21 percent of the adult population, they drank 29 percent of craft beer in 2011, and that percentage is rising.culture of going out.
Students in Columbus are picking up on the craft brewing phenomenon in a way that’s not only shaping local businesses, but it’s also changing the culture of going out. “Typically on campus it was never like this before,” said John Massmiani, owner of Big Bar, Little Bar and the newly opened Chop Shop. “Most of the time these kids come in and they say ‘what’s on special, what’s your cheapest stuff?’ you don’t hear that anymore. They want to know what kind of good beers you have¬—they want to know your portfolio.” Amanda Hoffsis, President of Campus Partners, weighed in on the issue from a business and development perspective. “Today, students are much more educated on the world around them,” she said, “and so I think their palette reflects that.” 8

And when it comes to a topic as important as craft beer, the students themselves are just as opinionated. “I think the shift to craft beer has classed up the culture of going out,” said Connor Spiech, a fourthyear in neuroscience. “People are starting to dress nicer and drink more moderately as opposed to getting totally sh*t-housed on Franzia in sweatpants.” Many other college students agree, although can’t quite pinpoint the catalyst for this trend among their generation. “I think college kids are primarily purchasing more craft brews because they are sick of the poor quality of a Bud or Natty,” said Alex Clark, a graduating senior in biomedical engineering. “It's worth shelling out the extra bucks for a much more enjoyable experience.” Ohio State students in particular are learning uweekly.com
what it means to value quality over quantity. “Students are really seeing that with a higher quality beer, with a higher ABV, it might be $5 for a CBC IPA compared to a $3 Bud Light, but it’s four more ounces, it’s 5 percent more alcohol and they’re actually having quality rather than just getting drunk,” said Dan Starek, owner of Oldfield’s North Fourth Tavern. “It’s still going to get ‘em drunk just the same, but they’re liking it because they can chill and have a beer rather than pound 50 cent Coors Lights.” A changing culture means changing attitudes, and students are starting to give a different answer to one big question: “Why am I drinking this again?” “I think these kids are coming out and they’re not just saying, ‘let’s drink the cheapest beer and get drunk,’” Massmiani said. “I think they’re smarter drinkers.” 11•
Maymester: Not so bad after all By @CAITLINESSIG a
T
hose of us who were at Ohio State during the semester switch probably remember it being rocky. The graduating class of 2015, the last class directly affected by the switch, had one year getting comfortable with college before those 10-week quarters became 16-week semesters. One way the university tried to help students after the switch who were struggling to fit in their requirements to graduate on time was by creating Maymester, a four-week session in May, starting in May 2013. Us Maymester guinea pigs had it easy — tuition for one course was waived, saving me more than $1,000 when I took a Maymester class the first time it was offered. It isn’t completely free, as students taking Maymester courses still have to pay about $46 in fees, but that’s not half bad for a three credit-hour class. I highly recommend taking a Maymester class. Going forward, there will be changes to them, including an end to the tuition waiver that was in
place through this year, but a Maymester class can be well worth it. After my second year at OSU, I decided to explore a creative writing minor, since creative writing has always been something I enjoyed but rarely make time for. Luckily, there was an introduction to poetry class being offered that May, which counted for the minor. Taking a class I enjoyed in a new subject area that I wanted to explore was a great way to ease into the summer class (biology) I was taking come June (and dreading). The poetry class met several days a week and had long hours, but it was engaging, making the time commitment well worth it. That part was key for me. Maymester classes tend to run for upwards of three hours, so don’t take a class in a subject that sounds dry or uninteresting unless you’re the kind of person who can power through long, boring class periods in order to fulfill requirements. I am not one of those people. Maymester classes can be the perfect way to catch up on general education require11•

ohio adventures for your summer By EMMY WELLS
@AndtheEMMYgoes2 a
A
t first thought, no one probably wants to be stuck in Ohio all summer. Everyone wants to take that beach trip or crazy, cross-country adventure to feel like they did summer right. But what if we told you that you can have plenty of adventure right here in the Buckeye State? We present to you five adventures to indulge in this summer. The best part? All are less than four hours away. 1. Hocking Hills State Park, Logan Distance from Columbus: 57 miles/1 hour Choose from six different trails and spend the day hiking the beautiful hills and rocks of Hocking Hills. From caves to waterfalls, there’s something around every corner that’ll make you stop to snap a photo. Pack a picnic lunch for a completely free trip, or get a group of friends together and spend the night in one of the park’s cabins. 2. Olentangy Indian Caverns, Delaware Distance from Columbus: 20 miles/28 minutes
$100
You’ll get a glimpse of history when you walk through the Olentangy Indian Caverns. Historical evidence has shown proof that as you’re walking through the winding passages and spacious rooms, you’re in a place where the Wyandotte Indians took refuge from the weather and their enemies. When you’re done hiking, there are plenty of additional outdoor activities, like miniature golf, gem mining and walking trails. 3. Put-In-Bay Distance from Columbus: 135 miles/3 hours Can’t afford a beach vaca but still craving that seaside feeling? Put-In-Bay Island will do the trick. The 2013 consensus boasted a booming population of 137 people, so you’ll get that peaceful island feeling without having to travel far. Whether you want to keep the trip simple and bum on the beach or get a little crazy and rent a jet ski, there’s more than enough to do at Put-In-Bay. 45•

And being a smarter drinker also means knowing what goes into your beer, in spite of the fact that many brands do not supply lists of ingredients on packaging. “The big breweries supplement their barley with corn, because corn is a lot cheaper than barley, and it just creates a less quality product than a local craft beer,” according to Cheryl Harrison, editor of Drink Up Columbus, a local beer blog. “They’re using it as a cheap substitute.” Spiech works at Pies and Pints in the Short North, and said he thinks the local aspect of craft beer is one of the biggest draws for student consumers. “I can say that a lot of customers prefer to drink local. I think people here take pride in where they come from, and drinking local gives them the satisfaction of supporting one of their hometown breweries,” Spiech said. Starek echoed the importance of bars sharing local love, and why students are on the “buying local” bandwagon. “Because you know the brewer, or you know the farmer … if there’s something from or close to my hometown, I’m gonna buy that because chances of it affecting my life are much higher,” Starek said. “It’s a pride factor.” Another factor in the growth of craft beer love, according to Starek, is dating. “When a 22-year-old kid wants to impress his 22-year-old girlfriend, he’s gonna buy a fancy IPA rather than a bottle of Coors Light or something,” Starek said. “He’s gonna try to buy that $5 or $6 beer to show the girl he has better taste, or is more sophisticated, just to try to impress her, and I see it all the time.” While many bars on campus offer a variety of types and amounts of craft beer, all of Oldfield’s taps are only Ohio-made beers, and for good reason, Starek said. “I’ll never serve a M*chigan beer here.” Emmy Wells and Chelsea Castle contributed to this article.

•9 ments, though. While there are limited course offerings, many are lower-lev-
el classes that count for general education credits. For these requirements, a semester-long class can feel like forever if it’s something outside your major that you don’t particularly want to take. The beauty of Maymester is also that without a full course load, it’s much easier to completely focus on the class you’re taking. Whether it’s a gen-ed that’s outside your comfort zone or a new interest you really want to explore, you don’t have to split your attention among four or five classes at a time. Maymester is also such a short session that even if you have an internship or job for the summer, it can be easy to balance work, classes and other priorities. With many internships not even starting until June, a Maymester class can keep you productive in the interim. Summer classes in general are something I really advocate for students to take advantage of if they can. My experience with both poetry and biology ended up being extremely positive — I was able to explore a class for a new minor that I ended up adding, and work harder in biology, something I struggle in, than I would’ve been able to if I were under the stress of a full semester of other classes. Whatever your reason, consider giving up part of your May to play school.

tips for summer success
here are typically two types of people; those who see summer as a three-month break from anything productive and those who see summer as a chance to get a leg up in their careers. While both are perfectly reasonable, for those planning to make the most of your summer in terms of making it work for your future there are plenty of ways to go about this. Get a job: You might think that a simple summer job will do little for your resume, there are ways to take advantage of it. Experience is important, and if you’re lacking in customer service this is an easy way to get that experience that employers will like. Likely, no matter your career path you’ll need to know how to deal with people. Get an internship: You might not make money like with a job, but you will gain experience in the field you’re looking to go into. It’s a tradeoff you’ll have to determine for yourself. Study Abroad: No matter what you’re doing there, study abroad can help you. Employers will be interested in it, impressed that you’re cultured and can succeed in an unfamiliar place, and it’s an achievement to earn the opportunity. Make your hobby work for you: From poetry to bake-offs to marathon, if you have a hobby likely you’ll be able to find a competition for it. Very few people take advantage of the fact that winning these competitions can look good on your resumes. It shows determination and drive, as well as success. 12

Volunteer: Many employers find volunteer work valuable and often use it to better understand a possible employee; what they value and give their time to says a lot about them. Additionally, many who volunteer find personal fulfillment; it’ll likely give you a sense of success for your summer.

opefully, for most this will all come as no surprise but for some of you, you’ll need a reminder of how to handle money. So, here’s some quick advice for what to do with your money now that you’re in “the real world”. 1.) Make a budget and stick to it. It’s up to you how detailed you get, and even if it’s just a budget for the month every little bit helps to keep you on track. You’ll be thankful for it once your student loan grace period is up. 2.) Student Loans. One of the first things you need to do is set up your student loan repayment plan. You’ll likely have a grace period before you need to start making payments so you should have time to figure out which works best for you (you might even consider consolidating if you have more than one). 3.) Emergency fund. You’ll want to set aside a small part of each payment in case something happens (like a car accident or break in). 4.) Prioritize big buys. Do you really need that new car? And not everyone needs to buy a house right out of college. Renting is perfectly reasonable.
5.) If all else fails, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Especially, if you don’t have a job
right out of school it might be smart to go back home for a bit. 6.) Don’t forget to Treat Yo Self. Not every day, but every once in a while it’ll do you good. Especially if you’re living life on a post-grad budget.

don't miss out on summer in the city By Ty anderson
If this is your first time experiencing summertime in Columbus, you’re in for a treat. Granted, that treat comes at the price of three torturous months of unrelenting humidity, but it’s a treat nonetheless. Yes, it’s hot. Yes, it’s uncomfortable. But boy, is it beautiful.

Of course, it’s also incredibly easy to miss. Columbus summers are gone in the blink of an eye. While the winter months seems to drag on and on and on, the summer heat comes and goes faster than you could ever possibly imagine. So with that said, I urge you make the most of it. Soak up the sun. Take in the little moments, and never pass up an opportunity to make new memories. Whether you’re working part-time at a grocery store, takin’ it easy with a simple Maymester class or spring boarding into adulthood with a shiny new full-time job, it’s important to take time to enjoy the little things. Two summers ago, I spent 40 hours a week working at a summer camp, and I did jack shit with the rest of my time. I was too young to hit the bars, and I didn’t have the means to travel. I looked after hordes of screaming children all day long, and then I went home with a venti iced coffee and rested. Last summer, I worked two jobs, made (and subsequently blew) a ton of money, and had little time for memories. I kept busy, and I rarely found myself in a poor mood, but I barely remember a time last summer when I wasn’t too busy to have fun. It came and went and I had absolutely nothing to show for it. But this summer—this summer will be different. I plan on living it up to the fullest. I’m talking about trips to Hocking Hills and to cities I’ve never been. Baseball games, concerts and more than a few hiking trips. This will likely be my last summer in Columbus, so I plan on making it my best. And I suggest you do the same. When it comes to having fun, it’s easy to say you’ll do it later. It’s easy to say that you’ll make the plans when you’re not so busy or not so tired. It’s easy to put off enjoying life and to spend everyday working, or going to class, or performing whatever activity it is that makes up the bulk of your summer responsibilities. But by the time August rolls around, you’ll realize that it’s too late. You missed your chance. So as soon as you get the inkling to do something fun— whether it’s going to the zoo, hitting up a waterpark or going camping at Red River Gorge—do it. Call up some friends, make some plans, and get going on that spontaneous road trip. Because I can promise you that waiting will get you nowhere, and it’ll get you there awfully fast.

How the OSU diving team's culture and dominance is changing By RYAN MCGLADE @rmcglade24 a
I
n a very brief walk from the gym to his office in McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion, he received 14 emails. That is just a minute example of the busy life Ohio State diving head coach Justin Sochor leads. While there are many entities that keep a coach occupied, recruiting to change a program’s culture is certainly a large one. The Worthington, Ohio, native has been in this process for two seasons now, after becoming head coach before the 2013-14 campaign. For the first time next season as the OSU diving coach, Sochor will lead a team in which all the divers on it are ones he recruited. There will be a total of 10 athletes in which none will be higher than a sophomore. “It’s a young, powerful team,” Sochor said. To return the OSU diving program back to its former dominance, Sochor had to change the culture. He described that this includes recruiting divers both nationally and internationally, and that it involves recruiting divers because of their individual talents as well as finding ones that make for good teammates.
Sochor also makes sure his athletes do subtle things such as holding doors for people, thanking the trainers, the lifeguards and the staff that hosts meets.
of weight off those kids’ shoulders; and some of that weight that they carry is struggling in school,” Sochor said. “So helping them become solid students is going to help them become better athletes.” Not only will the divers better themselves by excelling in athletics and academics, Sochor illustrated, they will better the university. “They’re going to become better Buckeyes because they’ll be a part of the university in a huge way,” Sochor said. “They’ll be contributing academically to the university and they’ll be contributing athletically to the university.” While doing this is a special privilege, the coach expects it. “It’s extraordinary to do that, but that’s their job to be extraordinary,” Sochor said. “Ohio State is not ordinary, especially if you’re an athlete.” What makes this ride for Sochor even more exceptional is that this is his dream job. “This is just, this is my place,” Sochor said with a pause. “If I had a choice of any coaching job in the whole country, in the whole world, it would be Ohio State.”
"If you're going to be a champion, if your team is going to win and always win, you have to take a lot of weight off those kids' shoulders,"

Equally important, the coach said that raising divers’ grade-point averages is an integral piece in transforming the atmosphere. In just two years, the program is already changing. The men’s diving team had the most improved GPA among all university athletics last season, with the women’s diving team on its heels. Sochor explained that divers being successful in their studies breeds winning in the pool. “If you’re going to be a champion, if your team is going to win and always win, you have to take a lot uweekly.com

uring this post-graduation week, it seems fitting to present a couple of lines from Ohio State’s Alma Mater, “Carmen Ohio.” As such a song profoundly suggests, “Summer’s heat or winter’s cold, The seasons pass; the years will roll…” Aside from the sentimental value these words have for all Buckeyes, they could not be more appropriate for the Ohio State football team as it enters what is sure to be a hot summer on and off the field. Less than a month removed from a talent show of a spring game, the Buckeyes have made their way through the cold of winter. The seasons have passed, and this national championship year has “rolled.” Nonetheless, in much the same way as they left North Texas, as undisputed national champions, the Buckeyes enter into summer as the undisputed favorites to hoist the championship trophy again next January. This position, however, does not come without a price. Three of the best quarterbacks in the nation will all be wearing scarlet and gray in 2015, and with respect to these brilliant football players, there is a difficult decision looming for Coach Urban Meyer, who has signed with Ohio State through 2020. The defense lost two vital components from a year ago: Michael Bennett and Doran Grant, and two players will emerge from summer with big shoes to fill. With this being said, this summer is sure to put more heat on the teams who have to try to catch up with the depth and overall skill of the Buckeyes. Ohio State returns multiple weapons offensively, including Ezekiel Elliott, Jalin Marshall and Michael Thomas. This terrific trio combined with the likes of Joey Bosa, Darron Lee and Tyvis Powell defensively is SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

DEPARTING BUCKEYES LEAVE LEGACY Softball players, coach share final moments together as team By MATTHEW MCGREEVY @M_McGreevy a
S
ix members of the Ohio State softball team crowded around three microphones in a small room underneath the stands at Buckeye Field. Moments before, the players had finished their collegiate careers with a 5-2 loss to Nebraska in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. The setup would have mirrored a post-game press conference – were it not for what happened next. From the back of the room – Buckeye coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly asked a question to her departing players. “What legacy do you want to leave behind?” With that question answered, Schoenly floated another. “When people talk about Buckeye softball, what do you want them to say?” With every question came a slate of responses, each player offering a slight twist to their teammates’ most recent answer. photo by david heasley/uw

The group of four seniors (Caitlin Conrad, Keelia Nester, Olivia O’Reilly, and Taylor Watkins) and two redshirt juniors (Alex DiDomenico, Kirstie Fehrenbach) opened up. “I think Buckeye softball is all about grittiness, about never giving up,” Fehrenbach said. “Mostly it’s about loving each other.” It’s that love that helped OSU stick together when the grueling 50-game regular season began to take its toll on the team. Faced with the reality that their playing days were over – the Buckeye revealed the nature of her injuries. “Last year I had a knee injury,” Fehrenbach said. “I tore my ACL, MCL, PCL, MPFL, both meniscus and dislocated my knee joint.” Fehrenbach’s admission was followed by stories of recent surgeries and ongoing ailments. Each player willingly shared a different problem. SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.
sizzling summer of soccer A look ahead at Crew SC's critical matches By @BEN_FERREE a
W
inter in Ohio ceded directly into summer, and the MLS season is in full swing. With many students leaving town while college is out of session, they may not have a full focus on Crew SC’s schedule. Here are the can’t-miss games that everyone should come back for. Saturday, June 13: LA Galaxy The reigning MLS Cup champs come to Columbus looking for revenge. Last season, Columbus shellacked LA 4-1 after honoring the retiring Landon Donovan. It certainly wasn’t the game the retiring legend wanted, and was one of just seven losses the Galaxy suffered all season, the lowest total in the league. Wednesday, June 24: New England Revolution This time it will be the Crew SC who is looking for revenge. New England v. Columbus is a blossoming MLS rivalry, and the playoff loss from last season is still fresh in players’ minds. Plus, after work happy hour specials means cheaper beverages. Saturday, July 4: New York Red Bulls A soccer game on a national holiday. Besides being a matchup of two of the best teams in the
Eastern Conference, this game will feature a fireworks extravaganza post match, and will be a nice addition to the other Columbus holiday activities. Saturday, July 25: Toronto FC This is the crown gem of the summer. If you only make it to one Crew SC game this year, make it this one. Not only is this a pivotal matchup of two Eastern Conference rivals and a Trillium Cup match, it is dollar night. Beers and brats can be purchased for just 100 pennies. Well known for being one of the best promotions in sports, this game is also rumored to have nearly 5,000 Toronto fans traveling to MAPFRE Stadium. If that’s true, there should be epic matchups on the field and in the crowds. It will be a can’t-miss event. Wednesday, Aug. 19: New York City FC School will be just around the corner, and what better way to end your vacation than watching Crew SC take on a brand new team. Soccer legends David Villa and Frank Lampard will both be playing for NYCFC by this point, as well as United States national teamer Mix Diskerud.

Metal band looks to 'Escape' convention at Rock on the Range By JACK LYNCH
T
his weekend, Rock on the Range is coming back to Mapfre Stadium, the home of the Columbus Crew, bringing together a slew of rock and metal’s biggest acts for a day of deafening, face-melting glory. UWeekly had the chance to speak with Liam Wilson, the bassist for The Dillinger Escape Plan, about how the band has succeeded in a genre that’s traditionally far-removed from the mainstream and what it’s like to play at a festival as huge as Rock on the Range. “The pandora’s box is already open,” Wilson said. “It’s not like you’re going to put metal back in the box.”
The Dillinger Escape Plan will be one of the most extreme acts to grace the Ernie Ball Stage Friday afternoon, a band that has garnered acclaim for its frantic, ultra-technical approach to progressive metal. “You know, I’ve been doing this for 15 years and it still feels relatively fresh and new,” Wilson said. “It’s forward-thinking music, but most things were at one point, and eventually people catch up.” After performing with The Dillinger Escape Plan night after night, Wilson feels at home on the festival stage. “I think lately we’ve become more of a big stage band,” Wilson said. “Having come off the tour with
Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, we’ve got really comfortable on big stages.” Though Wilson and his bandmates are playing at a festival with big name acts like Slipknot and Linkin Park, they feel no need to change their unique style to fit a trend. “It’s like investing in a stock that’s on the cover of the Wall Street Journal,” Wilson said. “It’s already too late. Why even do that?” “The atmosphere of Rock on the Range has always had a lot of energy,” two time attendee and Columbus State junior Michelle Powers said. “There are bands playing on three different stages, vendors and food stands—it’s very busy but in a good way.”

ways to enjoy a Cbus summer
By @CAITLINESSIG a
C
olumbus in the summer has a different joy to it than the rest of the year. Campus is largely deserted and peaceful, yet the streets throughout the city are bustling with people enjoying the weather. Whether summer in the city is new or familiar to you, here are some ways to entertain yourself during these humid summer months. 1. Food Truck Food Court Take a lunch break on Thursdays in Columbus Commons at the Food Truck Food Court. From May 7 through Oct. 29, 10 local food trucks — eight staples and two rotating monthly — set up shop at the Commons from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Food trucks are becoming a city-wide staple, and this pop-up lunch court incorporates some of Columbus’ best, from classic Mikey’s Late Night Slice to Pitabilities and Schmidt’s Sausage Truck. The number of food trucks gives plenty of variety, and there’s no better way to break up a work day than by enjoying the sunshine and local eats. 2. Festivals on festivals Most of us are familiar with the big, annual Columbus festivals: Columbus Pride, ComFest, Red White and BOOM! and the state fair as they move through the city. But Columbus has many lesser-known festivals, too. For a change of pace, check out the Worst Kept Secret Fest, happening May 22-23 and featuring local food, art and music. Also happening Memorial Day weekend, May 23-24, is Columbus’ Asian festival, a free celebration of Asian heritage. On July 11, there’s Summer Jam Westgate, a free music and art event. This just scratches the surface — be on the lookout for Columbus’ many festivals, happening all summer. 3. Beer and … yoga? Two unlikely counterparts come together for this event hosted by Land-Grant Brewing Company SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

PER CASE
By JACK LYNCH
olumbus locals Fields and Planes are masters of slow-burning songs that start out mellow, smart and dreamy, slowly layering new instruments and melodies on top of each other, building energy to a satisfying climax. On the band’s newest record, “Deeper Than Before,” it’s music that requires your full attention and a pair of headphones to be fully enjoyed, and the effort on the part of the listener is often rewarded. I had the chance to grab coffee with band members Paul Valdiviez and Fran Litterski, who share vocal responsibilities and play guitar and keys, respectively. The pair often harmonize and create duelling melodies, with their voices creating intimate sounds that seem inches away from your ear. “I think in a lot of Paul’s songs, he tries to put in two points of view,” Litterski said. “One on our first record, ‘Leave Your Keys in the Bedroom,’ is a literal conversation between two people going back and forth—one likes the other and one doesn’t.” All of the band members are composers, and the group’s shared goals yield a diverse repertoire of story songs and creative tunes. Another highlight from “Deeper Than Before” is the unexpected late album track “The Last Time,” a jaunty double-time jam with a tendency to get the audience moving. “‘The Last Time’ is probably our danciest song,” Litterski said. “We use a patch on the synth called ‘glittercats.’” “I can’t even comprehend even trying to make that sound,” said Valdiviez, who proceeded to try anyway. The personalities of Fields and Planes shine through in their live performances, which are considerably louder than their mellow studio recordings. “It’s really nice to put a person to the music live,” Litterski said. “It’s fun to make that person into a human being rather than a voice on a CD.

LOOKING BACK The year (so far) in entertainment By BRYAN FRAKER
T
his school year was definitely a time for change in the world of entertainment. Not only was there change, but there were a multitude of different changes. Of course, the biggest change that can happen in someone's life would be to change genders, and as we all know, that's Bruce Jenner's big change right now. Jenner, who was once considered the best living male athlete in the 1970s by winning gold in the Olympic decathalon, is going to be a woman. That's great for him to be comfortable, but this makes Jesse Owens the greatest male athlete in U.S. track and field. Go Bucks! There were a fair amount of occupational changes that happened as well. David Letterman and Jon Stewart announced their official end dates for their talk show hosting duties. Jim Harbaugh is now the head coach at That School Up North in an attempt to reignite their football program (spoiler alert: Ohio State's better). However, the biggest change that could have happened and is the greatest news ever in the history of mankind: “Full House” is coming back! Another thing that happened during the last year were legacies being transformed greatly and not always for the best. Bill Cosby went from being the family-friendly funnyman into an alleged serial sexual assault social pariah. Chris Pratt went from being the male bimbo of Andy Dwyer in “Parks and Recreation” into a bona fide A-list celebrity from his roles with the new “Jurassic Park” movie on top of his “Guardians of the Galaxy” success. Justin Bieber went from being an immature brat into ...well I guess that hasn't changed. Change is always around us. Whether it's in our own lives in personal ways or something we notice while watching a movie change is constantly there. I can’t wait for next year’s changes.

TECH
news, controversy in the gaming world
I
t’s that time of year again for gaming enthusiasts: the dead zone of video game releases. It has been more bearable this year than in past years due to the releases of “Bloodborne,” “Shovel Knight” (on PS4 and Xbox One) and the upcoming “Witcher 3,” but typically this is the slow period when new releases do the worst. Companies do this in order to hold their big guns back for the annual Electronics Entertainment Expo, commonly referred to as E3, the entertainment show best known for big announcements of games set to debut in the near to distant future. This year in particular has been set up to be particularly exciting as we’ve reached the point in the console cycle to where companies finally have a firm grasp on the hardware and should be pumping out quality titles from here on out. Here are some of the things that should hopefully be announced at E3 (if I’m wrong, don’t shoot the messenger): “Fallout 4” announcement: Bethesda is holding its own separate conference away from Microsoft and Sony this year because it says it has big news
to share. While it hasn’t tipped its hand yet, all signs point to an announcement of the eagerly anticipated “Fallout 4.” There hasn’t been a new Fallout game since 2010’s “Fallout: New Vegas” and the team behind the next iteration has had since the 2011 release of “Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” to work on the new post-apocalyptic tale. The timing is just right. Xbox One price cut: Sure, the Xbox One is selling great and it’s already had two price cuts up to this point but it is still drastically trailing the PlayStation 4 in sales and is in need of a boost. There are two ways to go about this: Microsoft could cut the price of its current 500GB model to $299, or increase the size of its hard drive to 1TB and keep the price at $349. This would reinvigorate sales as the company prepares for this fall’s “Halo 5: Guardians” release. “Battletoads” return: Keeping with Microsoft, it has already been announced that a new, mystery IP was going to be revealed at this year’s show and it’s a safe bet that it’s a reboot of “Battletoads.” For those too young to remember, “Battletoads” was originally a frustratingly difficult (see: Speeder
Bike level) NES game that was a knockoff of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” And with the toads’ cameo in the Xbox version of “Shovel Knight,” along with the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, constantly wearing a “Battletoads” t-shirt during conference lectures, all the signs point to this announcement happening. “The Last Guardian” re-revealed: This last one is probably more of a wish than a prediction. “The Last Guardian” has been in developmental hell since it was first announced at E3 in 2009, with an originally planned release date of 2011. This was the perfect example of announcing a project way too soon, as the game has still yet to be released or even heard from in many years. Originally designed for the PS3 from the acclaimed Japanese developer Team Ico, creators of the much beloved “Ico” and “Shadow of the Colossus,” the time is right for the game to be reintroduced to the world as a PS4 exclusive. A guy can dream, right?

what's up with netflix ratings?
F
or reasons unknown, Netflix holds tight to its ratings numbers as closely as Marvel guards its superhero movie scripts. The secrets of Netflix’s viewership numbers have never been revealed, that is, until now, and only sort of. San Diego-based research company Luth Research has assembled a large portion of Netflix subscribers in an effort to determine who is watching what, and shared its findings exclusively with “Variety.” Luth found that currently the most popular show on Netflix is Marvel’s “Daredevil,” with an estimated 10.7% of viewers tuning in for at least one episode during the first 11 days of the show’s debut. In comparison, according to the study, “House of Cards” season 3 attracted as many as 6.5% of viewers during its first 30 days. Another breakout hit for Netflix has been “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” which garnered a spectacular 7.3% of members tuning in during the show’s first month streaming. While “Cards” seems to be losing steam, it was still actually the most popular show on Netflix in March 2015. According to “Variety,” “Its third season was also binge-viewed more than any of the other aforementioned originals, with nearly half of subs having watched at least three episodes in a
single day in the first 30 days after release.” These numbers come from a sample size of 2,500 Netflix users; however, a rather large caveat comes with these figures. Luth Research tracks Netflix viewing through the Internet, but not on TVs, whether through a Smart TV or video game console. “Variety” helps to break these numbers down into context by saying “if 10.7% of the 40.9 million domestic subs Netflix has watched at least one episode of ‘Daredevil,’ that would mean nearly 4.4 million tuned in over the first 11 days. The 2.3% who tuned in first day of release? 940,000 viewers.” While the ratings system is incomplete at this point, it finally gives some insight into what Netflix viewers are watching and how they are watching. The data also show that weekend binging is by far the most popular option for a Netflix subscriber, with noticeable viewership spikes coming on every sixth and seventh day of the week. Someday Netflix might be a little more forthcoming with its numbers but in the meantime its lack of transparency on the subject will only make this seemingly uninteresting data point become more of a fixation with entertainment gurus.

ure, the Apple Watch made a splash. Its multi-million dollar marketing budget, glamorous announcement speeches and A-list celebrity endorsements ensured that everyone would know the Watch is available. But even so, many people are left asking, “Why do I need it?” The Watch has a multitude of uses, none of which are exactly ground breaking: tells the time, tracks your health, streams your music and delivers notifications. What it does best, though, is enhance the most basic interactions we would normally have with our iPhone.
Maps: With maps on the Apple Watch, your hands stay on the wheel, and you’ll never forget about missing your turn. Siri is also voice activated, so repeat after me: “Hey Siri, navigate to the nearest Chipotle.” Messages: Messages come to your wrist with a unique vibration, allowing you to choose to read it now or wait until later. Even better, Apple (somewhat creepily) gives you suggested one-tap responses to each message, saving you valuable time. Apple Pay: The Holy Grail: you can sync your credit card to your wrist to make purchases even easier. Track your balance; see payments and even build a monthly budget all on the Watch.

ROBERT BACH
I SHIRT $17 HALLENSTEIN BROTHERS
f you’re a European fashion enthusiast then you and first-year Robert Bach have something in common. Not only is Bach a snappy dresser, but he’s also a bit of an overachiever. He’s a double major—music theory and music composition—and he doesn’t mind packing his schedule with 18 credit hours. However, he never lets his busy schedule affect his wardrobe. Bach doesn’t own a pair of sweatpants, which means he never lets himself have an off day when it comes to his fashion. He hopes to eventually teach college one day, and we all know he’ll do it in style.
What word(s) would you use to describe your style and why? Surprisingly, the main focus of my fashion was from a band called Two Door Cinema Club. I started getting into them when I was a freshman in high school. I realized that I was completely dressing like a child. So I never knew what to look for when shopping. My sister’s a fashion major, so she helped me a lot. Other than your sister, who or what inspires your fashion? A lot of European fashion influences my style, not that I have anything against American fashion. It’s just what I enjoy. Two Door Cinema Club is what started everything, of course. I thought their style was cool, although they aren’t even in my top five favorite bands. When I want more inspiration, I just go out and look at stuff. My mom hates how much I shop and how much I don’t actually buy clothes. But it helps me get inspired.
BELT GIFT VINTAGE
What are your favorite brands? H&M is my favorite brand, although they’re slowly getting more expensive. I loved how I could always buy something for cheap there and wear it for an entire season and never feel bad about it. So, when I was looking for a winter coat, I was upset by their prices so I shopped around. Then I found a New Zealand company called Hallenstein Brothers, and they’re awesome. I buy tons of their stuff now.
PANTS $25 H&M
What’s your process in putting an outfit together? Mostly, it’s whatever is clean. I usually start with checking the weather. If it’s raining, I won’t wear my suede shoes. So, I have a pair of black shoes that I’ll wear—which means that I can’t wear brown pants or blue pants. And then in the winters, I’ll wear a sweater or cardigan over a shirt. Basically, I look at the weather, and then find my outfits based off of what’s clean. What do you wear on your off days? I still wear chinos, and then maybe a t-shirt. I never wear sweatpants or a sweatshirt. I own maybe two hoodies. My girlfriend is upset that I don’t own any sweatpants, because she has to bring her own stuff when she comes over. What’s a piece of style advice to pass along to readers? It doesn’t matter how many good clothes you have or how many bad clothes you have. I have a roommate who always wears t-shirts and jeans, but he always looks nice because they’re nicer shirts, jeans and shoes. It doesn’t really matter how fancy they are, it’s about how you style everything.

SHIRTING ESSENTIALS 5 basic fabrics every guy should own By SARA WILSON a @_SARA_ISABEL_
E
very guy deserves to have a shirt for every occasion—whether it’s a work shirt, a bar shirt or a dressy-casual shirt, there are essentials that every man’s closet should have. So, instead of listing specific shirts to wear, I put together a catalog of fabrics that are vital to your wardrobe. Going from dressy to casual, these fabrics will prepare you for any and every occasion.
tattersall
chambray
Wearing Tattersall will make you look and feel like an authentic Brit. Tattersall got its name from Tattersall’s horse market, started in London in the latter half of the 18th century. Blankets of this pattern were made and sold for use on horses. This pattern is comprised of horizontal and vertical stripes that create square shapes. The colors are often darker than the background of the shirt, making a nice contrast. Today, you’ll likely find this in cotton or flannel, and it’s still a staple piece of attire for modern English horseback riders. 28
UWEEKLY • May 13, 2015
uweekly.com
Get your French on in chambray! Originally from Cambria, France, chambray is often mistaken for denim when dyed blue. It has the rich, smart look of denim but is actually much lighter and breathes easier; it’s the optimal fabric to wear during the warmer times of the year. You can also easily find this fabric with a stripe or check pattern. Chambray is very easy to wear to work, and it’s often why you’ll see it in dress shirts.
seersucker
Seersucker’s had its ups and downs in fashion. We can’t seem to decide whether it has a look of wealth or poverty. However, we keep coming back to seersucker—likely because it’s a light, breathable fabric. In the British Colonial period, those who owned land in British India often donned it to keep cool. Then, after its introduction into the United States, southern plantation owners made this their fabric of choice. Then seersucker saw a downturn during the depression. It didn’t see the light of day again until preppy school kids began wearing it as an act of anti-snobbery.
gingham
Gingham, the pattern that we throw over our picnic tables during a down-home barbeque, was once a prominent fabric overseas. The name comes from the Malay adjective “genggang” which means striped. Originally striped, this fabric evolved into a check pattern—thanks to innovators in Manchester, England during the mid 18th century. This is often a test fabric, along with muslin, to create inexpensive shells of a fashion piece. Gingham made the cut for this list because of its versatility. You can dress it up at work or dress it down for a date.
flannel
Flannel is a wonderful fabric for the chiller seasons. It is often made up of wool, cotton or synthetic fibers, and is very soft to the touch. For men, it can often be found in casual shirting, especially designed with large and colorful plaid patterns. The history of flannel is unknown—it most likely came from the Welsh, although the term can be traced to the French and the German as well. While at its prime during the grunge era in the 1990s, flannel always has a place in the heart of the fashion realm.

olumbus is the place for food trucks. There are pizza trucks, dessert trucks, Indonesian trucks, and most importantly taco trucks. With the abundance of taco trucks roaming the streets of Columbus, it isn’t hard to find one to indulge in a quick bite. Los Potosinos is a different kind of taco truck. Serving large platters of Mexican cuisine instead of skimpy tacos, owners Lidia and Eladeo have made their mark on the taco truck business. The pollo al carbon is a fan favorite (marinated and seasoned chicken) and comes fresh from the grill. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another taco truck grilling-up their chicken on site. Los Potosinos’ menu is certainly not lacking variety: from traditional taco truck fare like tacos and burritos to restaurant-style dishes with rice and refried beans. So, if you end up loving the pollo al carbon, you can get the pollo al carbon platter. It comes with rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and tortillas. Los Potosinos also serves vegetarian-friendly dishes like the tostada borraches. The dish comes with pinto beans, crema, cheese, nopales, lettuce and a spicy sauce. Not only do Columbus taco truck goers rave about the food, they also rave about the owners. Lidia and Eladeo are hospitable and friendly and Lidia loves to make her loyal customers feel at home.

he Arena District has plenty of restaurant options to choose from, but why not add one more? Sonoma Grille, being launched by owner Pamela Lowery, will be joining the Arena District family this spring. Construction started in January on what was previously Darz Café. The inside of Sonoma Grille will be on the more intimate side seating just over 20 people. The restaurant will also feature a patio that will seat over double the inside. Set to open the second week of May, Sonoma Grille will be firing-up California cuisine. The restaurant refers to its food as “California cuisine with a midwest flair.” The restaurant’s ambiance will be bold yet casual, fitting right in with the Arena District. The menu will consist of plenty of sandwiches, burgers and more, but with a twist: Sonoma’s food is fresh comfort. Normally greasy dishes will be made with fresh ingredients. There will be twisted classics as well as completely unique dishes like shrimp burgers. Sonoma Grille will also be offering plenty of drink options, from beer to unique cocktails. And of course a California restaurant has to have Napa Valley and Sonoma wines. Don’t forget: Sonoma Grille will be opening this week! The restaurant will be located at 111 W. Nationwide Boulevard. Head over to the Arena District to support this new local restaurant and to try their unique California cuisine. Find out more details of Sonoma’s launch on their Facebook page “The Sonoma Grille” and their website sonomacolumbus.com.

Big Bar’s little sister, located north of Lane Avenue on High Street, is another great choice that can be overlooked based on its location. Little Bar has a big outdoor patio as well, and is often less crowded than other campus bars, so you spend less time battling for drinks. Come out for happy hour, Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and enjoy $2.25 drafts, wells and Miller/Coors bottles.
ith a Campus Partners development threatening to close Bernie’s Bagels & Deli, we would like to take a moment to say goodbye before it’s too late. On this dark day we lay to rest the “Best Happy Hour on Campus.” Bernie’s is your favorite place on campus with “bagels” and “deli” in the name, where you would rather die than consume a bagel or deli sandwich. Seriously, do you actually sell those reubens you claim are so good? We’ll miss the images of enthusiastic breakfast foods painted on your walls, Bernard. We’ll miss the cute way you’d run out of rare bar additions like whiskey, vodka and rum. And where will we go to get ignored by bartenders in a way only your employees can? They did it with the best scowls. Bernie, you gave us 21-year-olds a place to get everything we missed about underage house parties: you had to bring your own music to connect to the aux cord, there was lots of terrible dancing, unwanted guests would wander in through the back door, and the alcohol was both terrible and not free. You have character, dear Bernard, and that’s what we’ll miss most. You’re the last stop after the last stop of the night. You’re the place we love to complain about, but we still can’t stay away from you. You’re a great place to cry over lost dreams and old flames, or to just cry about the fact that we’re drinking with you. I don’t know what the future holds for us, dear Bernard, but know that you shall live on in infamy, as us campus dwellers grow up to tell stories about your distinct smell, disorienting layout and undeniable charm. Rest in peace, dear friend.

uring the school year, most of us fall into a routine. We spend our nights largely at the same bars with the same people, opting to walk as little as possible when it’s cold, or when there’s any sort of precipitation falling from the sky. Summer is a whole new world of opportunity. Columbus summers are humid and sticky, sure, but the nights and days alike are beautiful, and enjoyed best outside with a cool drink in your hand. Don’t know where to go for a brew or margarita on campus this summer? We’ve got you covered.
deals on campus, hands down.
While its north of Lane Avenue location can be a trek from central campus in the winter, Cazuela’s is the perfect bar to enjoy a margarita at all summer. They have just about every flavor you’d want, and a good selection of other drinks as well. If you’re lucky, you’ll get there on a nice night before the patio fills up and you can camp out for a few hours with friends. Its Tex-Mex food is tasty and affordable, too, and try the Texas margarita for a little extra kick.

2. Lucky’s Stout House
Lucky’s is one of the most underrated bars on campus, as it sits down on South High Street past Taco Bell and is largely overlooked by most students. But with its large outdoor space, complete with cornhole boards and plenty of room to stand around tables, Lucky’s is a great summer bar. Lucky’s also features live bands throughout the year on its indoor stage. Come for power hour, Saturdays 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., for $1 everything — one of the best 32

3. Out R Inn
As students who enjoy a nice cold beer regardless of the day of the week know, Sundays and Mondays are days for Out R Inn. Bring your own Out R Inn mug for discounted refill prices, or add to your collection with a new color for a few dollars more. Mug night is even better in the summer, where the already-giant bar doubles in size with the opening of the back porch. There’s a second bar, cornhole boards and plenty of picnic tables to enjoy Columbus’ warm summer nights. Let me be clear— this is very different than Big Bar’s inside bar. The roof is the perfect destination on a summer night. While the rooftop has less specials than downstairs (and less than other bars in general), the vast open space and view of Columbus make up for it. The rooftop is 21-and-up, so keep that in mind when planning your night.

a fond farewell to too's
W
ith a Campus Partners development threatening to close Too’s Spirits Under High, we’d like to take a moment to say goodbye before it’s too late. Here we lie to rest our favorite underground watering hole. I can’t imagine The Ohio State University without a place where I can pay a few dollars to have strangers throw water in the faces of my friends and enemies. Where else can we bask in the glory of the famous (Ohio State football players) and the almost famous (our favorite one-man-band, Jon White)? And on that note — where can we go to sing “American Pie” and “Piano Man” at the top our lungs, or request a personal serenade of “22” on our twenty-second birthdays? We’ll miss dancing on your elevated surfaces, fighting for booths, and running into people playing pool at your truly, poorly placed table until they give up on their game entirely. I’m already nostalgic thinking about the nights lost over $1 domestic bottles and the best shots selection on campus. Too’s, we love your label-covered walls and graffiti-covered restrooms. Actually, you could have more of those, but the vulgar signs pointing ladies to one restroom and gentlemen to the other kind of make up for it. Thank you, dear Too’s, for giving us all a reason to go out on a Tuesday. You called to us from our library study sessions and taught us it’s OK to go to a bar with a backpack. You also taught us that sometimes fire codes aren’t important — what’s really important is standing nose to nose with a couple hundred of your closest drinking buddies. If we never meet again, know you have a special place in the hearts of college students and graduates around the world. We’ll never forget you, you beautiful, smelly old bar.

Life After Bourbon The Columbus Barrel Co. saves onceused staves from the purgatory of international distilleries, fashions beautiful products in the process By Chris gaitten
A
bourbon barrel is something like a living piece of art, part paintbrush and part canvas. It’s active in the distillation process, infusing color, character, and flavor into the whiskey, and it’s also a work of distinctive craftsmanship, always made from American white oak, yet each one unique. Then it’s used, one time and one time only, and it’s no longer fit for its primary function, relegated to making Canadian whiskey, or sent to Scotland for scotch-making, or South America for rum and tequila. That’s when CJ and Curt Shaver step in and spare the barrels the indignity of such a lesser purpose. The brothers own and operate Columbus Barrel Co., a two-year-old business venture that takes once-used bourbon barrels and transforms them into handmade, rustic, often gorgeous products – end tables, display cases, clocks, and customized furniture and bars. Barrel Co. began when the Shavers’ father, who owned a kitchen design and cabinet installation company, commissioned CJ to build a Western-themed bar for a networking event. CJ tapped his brother Curt, who was living in Lexington, Kentucky, to help him find bourbon barrels so he could achieve the aged, whiskey-soaked look he wanted. After securing a supplier, the fourth-generation woodworkers eventually decided to explore the range of products they could create from the barrels. They started making furniture for family and friends, and word-of-mouth spread from there. “The bourbon barrels themselves are just so unique,” CJ said. “They’ve got a lot of history behind them. You know, some of these barrels that we’re using are probably 20, 30 years old.” The 53-gallon barrels all come from major Kentucky distilleries like Four Roses, Woodford Reserve, and Maker’s Mark. The insides are charred, which gives the whiskey its color (the deeper the char, the darker the whiskey), and sometimes the exteriors feature intriguing stains caused by bourbon leaks that have caramelized. The patina of each barrel is singular, a fact the Shavers try to reflect in their products, and though the rounded edges and natural curves of the barrel heads and staves pose challenges for woodworking, they also lend an original character to each piece. Here we’ve highlighted a handful of Columbus Barrel Co.’s most popular and interesting products.
Shot Flight $49
What better way to enjoy a selection of fine bourbons than in a flight of shots laid out on a board made from a bourbon barrel? Bonus points if you can determine the origin of the barrel and pour your first round from that distillery.
Pub-Table Stool Se t $550 And where better to drink the aforementioned selection than at a pub-style table fashioned from the heads and staves of the barrels? This set is one of Barrel Co.’s most popular products, and additional seats can be purchased for $125 each.
Wa l l - M o u n t W i n e Rack $150 For those who’d like to quaff

more than whiskey, this wine rack suspends five bottles in the air while reserving space for additional bottles on the shelf in the rear. The glass stem-holder on the underside creates an all-in-one station for oenophiles.
Double Edison Lamp $175 What’s better than one Edison? Two, of course. This light fixture looks antiquated enough to date back to the era when Edison invented his light bulb, while being fashionable enough to fit into any modern home.
Bourbon Barrel Sunglasses $120 The first product that Barrel Co. outsourced due to the precise cuts required, this trendy accessory provides sturdiness to the Wayfarer design and allows the wearer to see the world through booze-colored glasses.

Leo: Can you keep a secret, Leo? Because you're going to be hit with a big one this week.You can't always run to the first person you know to share details of other people's lives. Sometimes, you have to learn how to process things on your own instead or airing everyone else's dirty laundry. Just confide in your imaginary friend who you haven't talked to since elementary school. Virgo: No man is an island,Virgo. If you're struggling this week, lean on friends.You can't solve everything on your own. Even if you don't want to admit the problem, just call an old friend to chat.

Libra: Everyone's worried abouthooking up, Libra. Let's be real, all you need is a snuggle buddy. This week, don't go out looking for some fine piece forPage the15night. of24 25You Jul 05need a friend who you can count on to spoon with only mild to moderate sexual tension.
Capricorn: Are you a cat or a dog person, Capricorn? It says a lot about who you are. Dog people are usually happy go lucky and just want to have fun. Cat24people Jul 05 are usually emotional and more sensitive. Don't like either? You're a monster, Capricorn.
Scorpio: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Scorpio. In layman's terms, be grateful for what you are receiving. Not to mention, a horse is a pretty sweet gift to receive! Who wouldn't be grateful for that? That's every pre-pubescent girls dream. Be thankful, Scorpio.
Aquarius: Be honest with yourself this week, Aquarius.You're not Superman (or woman).You can't do everything.You have a lot of strengths, but you have a lot of weaknesses too; you're human. Don't focus on your Kryptonite, focus on your powers.
Sagittarius: Lose yourself, Sagittarius.You don't have to go driving with no destination in mind. But do get rid of your ego and focus on something that's not yourself. Try practicing an art you're not necessarily good at. It'll force you to use a different part of your brain and will help relieve stress.
Pisces: Check yourself, Pisces. No really, check yourself before you wreck yourself. Look at all the areas of your life and think about how you spend your days recently.You may be spending too much time and energy in one spot. Specifically: haters. Don't waste your time.You're the only one who can let the haters bring you down. That and the flu.

FROM RUBY WITH LOVE
relationships aren't supposed to be easy
T
he thing is, nothing in life worth haaving comes without working towards it. If it were easy it wouldn’t be worth it, you know what I’m saying? Whether it’s with a job, or falling in love, you have to put the work in for it to really mean something. Relationships sometimes take more work than we realize. I know I like to believe that everything is going to be perfect and it’s going to be rainbows and glitter all the time but they’re not. Let’s get real. Relationships take a lot of work and communication and without those things, well; they’re going to suck. Some of the best ways to keep communication open are: Make time. You need to not only make time to have any important conversations; you need to find the right time. Don’t interrupt them when watching something important to them on TV, and definitely not in public. No one wants to have a serious conversation when other people could potentially over hear or if it turns into a fight, fighting in public is tacky. Texting is no bueno. Do not, and I mean do not text your partner something that is either serious or important. There can be so much miscommunication in two text messages than there will ever be in two sentences. You have no idea if someone is mad, being sarcastic, or just plain being a dick. Talk face-to-face NO MATTER WHAT. I don’t care if you have to drive to their house at 3am. Honesty is key. If you’re not going to be honest, there is no reason for the conversation. Keep it real. Body Language. Body language is so important. Make eye contact and stay off your damn phone. If they are bringing something to your attention that they feel is important, you need to show them
that you are actually listening and care about what they are saying. 48-hour rule. Did they piss you off, or hurt your feelings? Was it something really serious, orrrr could you just be feeling emotional? If after you sleep on it, or a day goes by and you’re still kind of upset bring it to their attention. If it’s something dumb like they didn’t put the cap on the toothpaste do like Elsa and let that shit go. Communication can make or break your relationship. Having a serious conversation with someone you really care about don’t want to hurt them can be difficult. There is no reason that they should not be open to talking about things that are important to you. If they are emotionally shut off, you need to get out now. You will never be able to resolve anything if they aren’t willing to be open and honest about everything going on. Now I have a little truth bomb to throw at you myself. I have decided that my time has come to leave UWeekly and entrust your sex lives with another. Don’t worry I will miss you all just as much as you will miss me. If you are interested in taking over the back page and sharing your wisdom with the rest of campus I encourage you to send me an email: rubyuweekly@gmail.com. I have loved hearing all of your weird and sometimes disturbing stories, and also sharing them will thousands of others. The last piece of advice I want to leave you with is make dumb decisions. A lot of them. When you look back you will remember those decisions as some of the best memories you made. Not the illegal kind of decisions just sketchy enough to have a good story. Keep doing you Buckeyes. Love always and forever, Ruby
WANNA BE THE NEXT RUBY? We're looking for the next saucy lady to take over this weekly column. If interested, email editor@uweekly.com
