LIFE

holiday survival guide Making the most of time at home By MADISON DURHAM The holiday season (unofficially defined as the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, but defined by Starbucks and the radio as beginning the day after Halloween) is often consumed by family time. Going home for the holiday season means regressing, in a way, as you’re forfeiting your independent lifestyle for a whole lot of time with your family. As a result, some people find the holidays unbearable. Here are a few survival tips that will help you get the most from your family time and avoid as many awkward situations as possible.

Know How to Field Inevitable Questions The holiday season can occasionally feel like one giant pop-quiz. The subject? Your personal life. You’ve been tossed one of the common heart-stopping questions (ie, are you dating anyone, how are your grades, etc.), and suddenly you find yourself resenting your poor, unassuming relative when you can’t produce a decent reply. To avoid the awkwardness, prepare some sort of reply ahead of time. It sounds ridiculous, but trust me, you’ll feel way better when you’re not tiptoeing around the dinner table on Thanksgiving, desperately trying to avoid eye contact with your family.

Get a Job. Seriously, Do It. Yes, I know, the holidays are for relaxing, but there’s only so much Netflix a person can take! By the time that first week in January rolls around, and your parents and siblings return to their normal lives, you’ll find yourself a little bored and a little broke from all the festivities. Getting a job means having an income and a break from being at home, which is a win-win where the holidays are concerned. My advice? Start that job search as early as possible. There are tons of seasonal jobs available, most of which require very little experience. If you’ve worked at offices or other businesses in the past, revisiting those avenues isn’t a bad idea, as they could probably use some help during the busy, vacation-heavy season. It’ll save time reapplying to somewhere new, too.

Save Some Time for Friends Family time is the implicit rule of the holiday season, but if you don’t make some time for your friends back home, you’ll regret it. You’ll all be in the same boat, hanging around during that last week with nothing to do, so take some time and do something together! Celebrations like Christmas and Thanksgiving are practically driven by nostalgia,

UWEEKLY • November 18, 2015

so it makes sense that old friends should be included in the festivities. Doing something goofy in the spirit of the season can be a great way to reconnect if you’ve grown apart over the last few years. Make some cookies, go sledding, watch Elf one too many times and enjoy the parts of your childhood you still want to hang on to.

Decompress On Your Own It might seem like your vacation should be spent soaking up as much family and friend time as possible, making it easy to forget the real point of our three-week departures from academic life. You-time is a necessity over the holiday break. You’ve been steadily working since August, and the holiday season is the payoff. Is there a Netlfix binge you haven’t yet embarked on? A book you’ve been waiting for months to read? Some recipe you found on Pinterest you’ve always wanted to try? Go for it. There’s no better time, and if you wait until the vacation’s over you’ll find yourself buried in the work of another semester before you know it. It’s called the most wonderful time of the year for a reason. Soak up every last bit of it you possibly can, and you’ll come back for Spring Semester refreshed and ready to go.

Questions you ask yourself at family gatherings

By RIE PHILLIPS

ou know it’s that time of the year again when your mom starts reminding you of all the family shindigs you are going to have to be present for. Your beautiful break from early morning classes and late night cram sessions is cruelly interrupted with cheek pinching, ugly-sweater-wearing relatives hugging you from every angle. Everything you thought you were certain about is placed into question. You begin to wonder why you aren’t in a relationship yet as you emotionally stuff yourself with homemade pie and mash potatoes. Questions you never worried about during the school semester assail you at every turn. Why am I this tall? Have you been eating hormone meat at the cafeteria to the point that Aunt Diane can’t even believe how much you’ve grown? Maybe you should start drinking coffee to stunt your unprecedented growth. Your clothes seem to fit just fine, you haven’t noticed being shunned by people lately for your height… Maybe it’s just this

room that makes you look bigger. Who even are all these people? Last time you remember, there were only a few baby cousins and the usual collection of various aunts, uncles and rando girlfriends/boyfriends of relatives that always seem to attend your extended family gatherings. But now there are kids everywhere, moving in droves. Grandma’s house is starting to look a lot like a daycare center. Asking, “Whose baby is that?” becomes your new part-time seasonal job. Your only option is to comb back through your memory to that group text you were included in that announced births (and occasionally hashed out family drama) to avoid looking like a terrible person who doesn’t remember names of second cousins. Will I ever guess this Wi-Fi password? All you want out of the holidays is to fill a plate full of homemade goodness and find a quiet corner to veg and catch up on things. Not so fast! Who ever said Grandma’s house has Wi-Fi? Now, if only you can

uweekly.com

guess the password to the neighbor’s Wi-Fi entitled FredAndWilma7, you can Snapchat your peeps. Can we leave now? This is the question on your lips from the moment you cross the threshold and smell the familiar smell of clan drama mixed with gravy and fresh pies. You don’t have homework to do, you don’t have lectures you need to be at, but you have things to do. Things that don’t include sitting on a couch with your cousins watching reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. These soul searching questions come up inevitably when you attend family gatherings but what is also inevitable is holding cute babies, catching up with people who really do care about you and playing good old fashioned games like Scrabble. If you can get over the awkwardness and self-doubt that follows explaining why a nice kid like you doesn’t have a significant other yet, you realize how special having an extended family really is. Oh, and free food. Holla’.

High St. Horoscope

What your favorite High St. bar says about you By JACOB GEERS

lmost all of us have had experiences at Ohio State’s off campus bars. But while we’ve probably visited most of them, what does your favorite say about you? Read on as the clairvoyants at UWeekly tell you something deep about yourself! The O Patio & Pub: Take off your Sperry’s and Vineyard Vine’s hat, because some introspective sh*t is coming your way. You are extremely outgoing and talkative. You love being the life of the party, ‘cause hell, you are the party. You don’t get drunk, you get cool and you are here to make sure this place is #litttttttt! But, despite what everyone thinks, you are actually very studious and work hard in your classes. People are surprised when they hear you have a good GPA and are a STEM major. You know how to get sh*t done and have fun. Chumley’s: You are a little less intense than the folks who love “The O,” but you still consider your social life to be pretty red-hot. Someone whose favorite bar is Chumley’s is about that schooner-based social life, but can generally hold themselves (somewhat) together. Bullwinkles: You, on the other hand, do get sloppy drunk. Sloppy drunk, of course, being defined as “drunk enough to step foot into Bullwinkle’s.” You love to occasionally chat up rando, but really you are just always down to dance. Moving yo’ bad self to a pop song, that’s where you are in your element, and you totally own it. Midway: If your favorite High Street bar is Midway, you probably get as sloppy as the folks who love Bullwinkes, but unlike them, it is super intentional. You aren’t into the dancing so much as flirting and trying to act cool. SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

Let’s use Barrett, one of the leaders on the Ohio State football team, as a case study. He was caught on Halloween night operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Even though he is a kid, he was crucified for making a mistake. Granted, he could’ve put others at risk, but the reactions from the media, citizens and fans reached nuclear levels. People came out defending Barrett, while others acted like he committed a felony and wanted him off the team. Others went after head coach Urban Meyer and how this was his ‘Florida culture’ finding its way to Columbus – I’m assuming those people go out in public wearing tinfoil hats. Barrett did even get a chance to respond to his mistake. Everyone responded for him. The world is a strange place.

sh*t happens

Your reaction is everything By Geoff Hammersley

“

You can handle when people say you're not very tall or fast enough or you don't throw far enough, but when someone challenges who you are as a person or a man, that's tough.”

That’s what football coach Urban Meyer said on the mistake made by his quarterback, J.T. Barrett

We’ve all been there: you make a big mistake. Whether it is an interception in a football game (real or in a video game) or you simply said the wrong thing to someone – there is a list of infinite blunders that one can make. I’m willing to put money down and say that every single person in college has made their fair share of mistakes. Mess-ups are a part of life. More importantly, they are part of learning, which, coincidentally, is why you go to college in the first place. Learning from your faults is arguably the most critical part of life. You realize you messed up, and now you spend the rest of your life avoiding the same mess-up because you (hopefully) adjusted and learned from it. However, this is where things get tricky: mistakes have the potential to slice through someone’s character.

If someone who doesn’t make errors often finally slips up, they get grilled. People who do so frequently rarely get their mistakes placed under a microscope and aren’t intensely scrutinized. Leaders are expected to not make mistakes. However, if we keep the notion that everyone is perfect, then the expectations for leaders are lucid pipedreams. The hammer comes down harder on leaders when errors happen, whether they are warranted or unwarranted. This is life. An unfortunate part of slip-ups is the damage to your character. Personal attacks on identity can make you feel like a rickety house in the direct line of an F5 tornado. The bounce-back from a mistake is the most important step in moving forward. It doesn’t matter if you’re a leader or the last person in an organization; the comeback is what everyone wants to see. No matter how warranted or unwarranted the praises are.

When is it okay to start celebrating the holidays? By KAITLIN BRADLEY

Ambrose Wounuah

Maybe until the first or second week of December. As college students we don’t have time until after finals to really celebrate anyway so it’s just more practical to wait until after exams and then you can go crazy!

Brianna Ellis

Before Halloween is way too soon! Give it some time and just enjoy the fall.

Adam Asadorian

It’s never too early! I love the holidays, honestly the decorations and music just put everyone into such a great mood, why not celebrate it longer?

Nicholas Tanner

I’d say wait until after Thanksgiving, that’s when the focus should be on the winter holidays anyway.

Jordan Benty

Definitely not before Halloween. Wait until at least November.

Hannah Hawkins

I think after Halloween. I mean, I love celebrating Thanksgiving itself but if you really can’t wait, then November is game.

How the east is won Buckeyes bring home Illibuck, head into matchup with No. 13 Michigan State By Geoff Hammersley

llibuck is coming back to Columbus, Ohio – and will get an extended rest, too. The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini, 283, on Saturday. The win keeps the Illibuck Trophy, the wooden turtle fought for in the rivalry, in Ohio State’s possession for the eighth straight year.

5. A loss will put the Spartans in control of the East Division, as they will hold the tiebreaker against the Buckeyes.

Heisman hopeful Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 181 yards against the Illini, carrying his streak of 100 yard games to 15.

Two years ago, the Spartans ruined Ohio State’s national championship hopes in the 2013 Big Ten championship. Last season, the Buckeyes got revenge in East Lansing, Mich. en route to winning the College Football Playoff National Championship.

J.T. Barrett came back to start after the suspension stemming from an OVI over the Halloween weekend, and completed 15-of-23 passes for 150 yards. Barrett also accounted for a touchdown and an interception. Now with Illinois out of the way, the Buckeyes now must deal with the Michigan State Spartans in a de facto contest for control of the Big Ten East. A Buckeye win against the Spartans will secure the defending Big Ten Champions a spot in the 2015 Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis on Dec. 14

“The most prepared team will win this game,” head coach Urban Meyer said.

standpoint, the Buckeyes are putting their 23 game win streak (the longest active streak in the nation) on the line, as well as their 30-game regular season conference win streak, which is the longest in history for any conference. Individually, wide receiver Michael Thomas has caught a football in 26 straight games, and Elliott chases for an unprecedented 16 straight games with at least 100 yards on the ground.

“[The 2014 MSU game] was our best offensively,” Meyer said of the magical run last season.

With all of these records on the line, it’s only appropriate that ESPN College Gameday is visiting Columbus this week. This will be the first time since 2010 that Ohio State has hosted Gameday.

This year, the revolving door at the quarterback position hasn’t really affected the Buckeyes. OSU averages 453.3 total offense per game, and puts an average of 36 points on the scoreboard – both stats are better than Michigan State’s.

This time around, however, the location for Gameday has changed. Instead of setting up shop outside St.John Arena, the setup will take place on The Oval in front of the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library.

Ohio State also enters the showdown with Sparty with many streaks on the line. From a team

Sports wrap NCAA Tournament; basketball begins

By GEOFF HAMMERSLEY

t was an exciting week for OSU athletics. Let’s take a look back on the highlights for soccer and women’s basketball. Regulation is Not Enough The women’s soccer squad defeated Butler in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 2-1, on Sunday. Dramatics started in the 86th minute when Morgan Wolcott scored for the Buckeyes. With not much time left in regulation, you would think that there couldn’t be enough time left for a Butler rebuttal? Well, in the 90th minute – literally, the goal was scored after 89:59 had passed – the Bulldogs found their answer: a free kick goal from Sophia Maccagnone. In extra time, Sammy Edwards punched OSU’s ticket to the next round with a game-winning goal in the 107th minute. Assists came from Nikki Walts, who aided the Wolcott goal, and Michela Paradiso. Ohio State travels to University Park, Penn. to face Virginia Tech in the second round of the tournament on Friday. Start time is slated for 3:00 p.m. The One-Two Punch Women’s basketball began their season with a daunting combination of playing No. 2 South Carolina on the road, and No. 1 (and reigning national champions) Connecticut at home. While the Buckeyes gained experience, they lost both contests. Against South Carolina, OSU put up an impressive fight, losing only by eight. Kelsey Mitchell scored 36, while fellow teammate Ameryst Alston tallied 23. UCONN was a whole different story, though. Mitchell and Alston had trouble finding the basket – the duo went a combined 5-of-27 for 15 points. All five of the Huskies starters scored in double SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

brooklyn Movie offers insight into 1950s immigration By REGINA FOX

orn between the comforts of home and the thrill of a new beginning, “Brooklyn” reveals the story of a young Irish woman who immigrates to America that so many can relate to.

“Brooklyn” paints a picture of Eilis Lacey, played by Saoirse Ronan (“Lovely Bones,” “Atonement”) navigating her way through 1950s New York City and working to build a new life away from her loving mother and sister in Ireland. Her painful yearning for home is quickly soothed by the love and affection of a young, handsome man from the city. But before long, troubles from her old life begin to seep in and disrupt everything she created for herself in America. Eilis must choose between the lure of promise and love in America and everything she left behind in her home country. Ronan, who plays the main character, was born in New York City to Irish parents but moved back to Ireland when she was only three and spent her childhood there. “My mom and dad went over in the ‘80s. They took a plane. I mean, even for them, they were illegal when they were here initially, so they couldn’t go back for about three years to Ireland, and even that was like a huge, huge thing,” Ronan said in a college conference call.

disappear into the distance.” Ronan said her personal experience with moving to America helped her when performing in the movie. “When you’ve had your own personal experience of leaving home yourself and it is as emotional as it can be, you can’t help but allow that to sort of influence how you play someone, I guess, and how much meaning it holds for you,” Ronan said. “It influenced everything I did in the film, the fact that I had gone through it myself.” At only 21 years old, Ronan said she grew up quickly during her acting career. Ronan said she took on the role as Eilis because she can relate to the level of maturity the character reaches by the end of the film and the journey she took to get there. “I think if there’s any message with this film, apart from the personal connections that everyone has seemed to have to us in one way or another, the heart of this movie is that Eilis gets on well in life, and she grows into this amazing young woman because the people around her have been kind to her and they’ve helped her and they’ve shared advice and wisdom and their experience.”

“You can imagine how much of a sacrifice it would have been for someone in the ‘50’s and even earlier to physically get on a boat and watch their country 16

kid runner Local band sprints towards the pop charts By JACK LYNCH

olumbus locals Kid Runner have seen a sharp rise of exposure within the past two years, and founding member Fran Litterski said the band has adjusted nicely to its newfound status as one of the capital city’s best-known bands. “It’s funny, some of the shows we played at PromoWest were right before the headliners blew up,” said Litterski, who played with The 1975 and Capital Cities before they struck commercial gold. “I think that’s been awesome to grow our fanbase.” Following the release of last year’s “Wake Up Now,” the Kid Runner song “Lights” was chosen as the stadium intro music for the Columbus Crew. “I’ve been to a few games this year, and it’s pretty rad hearing it through those huge speakers in the stadium,” Litterski said. Kid Runner’s next live show is happening Friday, Nov. 20 at A and R Music Bar in support of the band’s catchiest single yet, “Different Kind of Love.” “It’s definitely a little poppier than our other stuff, but it’s more stripped-down. There’s a more organic feel to this one,” Litterski said. “Our last EP was darker and more synth-heavy.” The music video for the new single features live footage of the band, with a good showing of exuberant personality from each member. Sonic highlights include Litterski’s angelic harmonies with lead singer Drew Lizon and the song’s signature whistled melody. Through skilled musicianship and the chromium sheen of bassist Scott Griffin’s production, “Different Kind of Love” has the potential to melt the hearts of even the most cynical music fans by the second listen. “It’s kind of about falling in love with someone,” Litterski said. “We’re getting all lovey-dovey with our songs.” For a chance to fall in love with Kid Runner before they hit the Top 40, check them out this Friday at A and R Music Bar. Fine Animal and Clubhouse are also set to perform.

t- 'no'bile T-Mobile announcement causes controversy By ADAM AMBRO

-Mobile has made its name in recent years by being on the forefront of tele-carrier innovation. It was the first company to end two-year wireless contracts, and it has made smartphones more affordable with payment plans. But now, T-Mobile CEO John Legere is calling for “the biggest thing we’ve ever announced.” At one of the company’s latest “Un-carrier” events, Legere declared that nearly all major streaming services, such as Netflix and ESPN, will be available for consumers and will not count against the monthly data service cap. The program has been dubbed “Binge On” and in addition to the aforementioned services, it will include Hulu, HBO Now, Showtime and 20 others. However, notably missing from this list are big names like YouTube, Amazon Prime, CBS, NBC and ABC. There are downsides to this service, too, one being that the quality of the “free” stream will be running at 480p, a glacial pace compared to the 720p and 1080p HD levels that consumers are probably accustomed to. In defense of the quality, Legere said that a user won’t be able to tell the difference because of the device’s screen size. The decreased quality and the Binge On streaming feature will be able to be manually turned off. On paper, the announcement sounds pretty great, yet many are voicing opinions that this move will hurt consumers and net neutrality. "Turning the mobile Internet into a carrier-controlled walled garden is ultimately a bad idea for consumers, for all online services (even those included in T-Mobile’s ‘zero rating’ services) and for the wireless industry as a whole," said John Bergmayer, senior staff attorney for non-profit Public Knowledge.

glasses $95 warby parker

Michael Tedesco Michael Tedesco is a Marketing major and is minoring in Film Studies. He is currently involved with the Service Engagement Program (SEP) and Pi Sigma Epsilon. His style is minimal and casual with street style influences.

How would you describe your style? Shirt $5 Salvation ARmy

I prefer a casual style, street wear… I love layers, denim on denim, and I like a minimalist look.

Why is personal style important to you? I feel like in every other aspect of my life I’m kind of disorganized, but if you have a good way of presenting yourself and you have a clear, consistent style then that’s a great way of expressing your personality.

Do you have a go-to outfit? Denim on denim with some white shoes. I really like joggers, too. They really put your shoes on display.

Who/what inspires your style? I feel like for men’s fashion that’s a hard question, because for women’s fashion there are more celebrity influences, but men’s fashion is mainly suits so it’s hard to find someone to emulate for street style. A lot of what I do is see what my friends are wearing and translate it into the male version of it. My friend Meghan inspires me a lot actually.

Pants $7 Michael Kors via thrift store

What fall/winter trend is your favorite? I’m still looking for a perfect camel coat. Dark ripped jeans are a plus. I’m really loving turtlenecks and mock necks.

Where do you like to shop? I like H&M, and I like to go to Salvation Army and Goodwill for basics and layering things. I haven’t bought much on ASOS but I love what I see on there. There’s this Uniqlo and Lemaire collaboration I really like right now, as well.

Haute for the holidays Holiday party atire By Tamika smith

s crazy as it sounds, the holidays are right around the corner. According to most department stores and tv commercials, they're already here. As the holidays are a time for friends and family, we'll all find ourselves attending a few holiday parties and we all want to make a good impression at these parties. After finding a gift for your secret Santa, that hardest part about holiday parties is what you're going to wear. For the most part, you should definitely dress it up for the holidays, ditching the jeans and sneakers. Everything about the holidays is vibrant, sparkly and great to look at – and you should reflect that. Ladies 'Tis the season for sequins and faux furs. The holidays are definitely a time to pull out your nicest pieces of clothing. Embroidered and sequin dresses and skirts are always a good idea for holiday parties, they ultimately make people take notice to you. As faux fur is big this season, you can definitely incorporate it into your holiday ensemble. Adding a faux fur jacket or scarf to your outfit will make you look that much fancier. Heels are also a must for the holidays. Whether they're booties or pumps, they'll look the best with your dressy apparel. Accessories are very important when it comes to your holiday outfits. Adding jeweled necklaces, bracelets and earrings will make your outfit look very classy and high-end, even when it isn't. A nice clutch or small purse will complete your look. Gentlemen 'Tis the season for sweaters and suit jackets. When I previously said ditch the jeans, I wasn't so much referring to the guys as I was the girls. In fact, men can get away with wearing jeans to holiday parties as long as they're nicely tailored and slim fitting and are on the darker side – deep denim or black.

Chili and lime salmon By Ashley Wilkinson

Because there are many ways to make salmon, I have done a lot of experimenting. I have found delicious dishes, but I am going to share with you the recipe that stood out to me the most: chili and lime salmon. Recipe: 1 pound fresh salmon ½ teaspoon chili powder 1 tablespoon cilantro 1 clove minced garlic 2 teaspoons honey 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons butter ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes ½ teaspoon salt In a pan, mix and heat the garlic, honey, lime juice, red pepper flakes and salt together over medium heat. After five minutes, remove from the heat and place one tablespoon of butter into the mixture, allowing it to melt. Return to the heat for another two minutes, continuously stirring, and repeat for the remaining tablespoon of butter. Place the salmon in a nonstick or greased baking pan. Coat the salmon with the chili powder then brush on the honey and lime mixture. In a 375-degree preheated oven, bake for 12-14 minutes. There is no doubt that this recipe is amazing! The sweet and savory elements combined really bring out intense and satisfying flavors. To maximize flavors, try marinating the salmon in honey or lime juice for a few hours before cooking it, or bake it in foil. Happy eating!

e all know (or should know) that fish is good for you. But do you know why fish is so good for your health? Fish has many health benefits. First and foremost, fish is generally high in protein and low in fat. It is a great food to eat if you want to get toned! Also, fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 does amazing things towards your health, including promoting cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms of arthritis.

bad romance?

Pros and cons of an office fling By EMILY RUDDUCK

hen earning a paycheck means that you spend more of your time during the week at the office than the home you work to pay for in the first place, it’s common (and easy!) to foster bonds with coworkers. But what happens when a seemingly innocent colleague relationship turns personal? When you catch feelings for the guy or gal across the room and suddenly everything they say or do is up for analyzing? Here are the pros and cons of an office romance, and how you can avoid having one interfere with your ability to be productive. Your Company May Forbid It You two are basically the Romeo and Juliet of the corporate world. It’s just so romantic. Or is it? Many companies have strict policies in place forbidding office romances. If you decide to throw caution to the wind, both you and the object of your affection can get the boot. As unromantic as it is, be sure to read the company policy about these situations. It Makes Going To Work Exciting Let’s face it – not everyday is going to be a smorgasbord of creativity and fulfillment. We all need a little pick-me-up here and there, and knowing that you’ll see someone that you’re attracted to is a harmless way to achieve that. If you can still focus on your tasks, then why not? And you’ll spend some extra time getting ready in the morning, which can only help you look professional (even when your thoughts aren’t). Handling Jealousy This is especially true when your relationship is hush-hush, or if you haven’t confirmed what exactly it is that you’re doing. You’ll inevitably notice other coworkers talking to your pseudo lover and you know that if YOU are into them, there are probably others that are too. You’ll often have to check yourself that this isn’t the bar. It’s work, and your crush is going to have to be actively engaged with other coworkers. Getting To Know One Another When you’re with someone as much as you are your coworker, you find out their quirks, their passion, their dislikes and all that makes up the person that they are in a short amount of time. You bypass the steady stream of dates where you learn a little more each time, making actually going out with them a lot of fun, doing the things that you two actually want to do.

HACKED

campus events

OSU holds third annual Hackathon By ASHLEY WILKINSON

n Nov. 14, 500 students were locked in the Ohio Union for 24 hours. By choice. These 500 students were a part of Ohio State’s third annual OHI/O Hackathon and were there to prove that they had what it takes to create something extraordinary in one day. Students gathered in the Grand Ballroom early Saturday morning with merely ideas of what they wanted to create in their head. The event wasn’t just for Ohio State students, either; students from Akron University, Kent State University, Purdue University and other schools traveled to Columbus to show their skills. Although many of the participants were familiar with coding, the organization encouraged non-coders to come give the event a try. Tech mentors were readily available to help the participants out when they needed help implementing an idea. The hackathon also offered a tech talk from the companies

Esri, Aver, TCS and Hyland- a first time feature for this year. A showcase was held at the end of the Hackathon on the Sunday to award the teams who went above and beyond during the 24 hours to create an inventive and functional application. Here is a list of the overall top three teams and what they created: First place went to “Park Side of the Moon,” a group who created an application to assist with parking. If you needed to find a place to park for a certain event, search their app to find people selling parking places and pay via phone. Second place went to “Bears Bears Bears Bears.” This group created a game based application to help hospitalized children to understand their illness better. Third place was given to “Dig Wood, Love Work.” The purpose of their application is to con-

nect with family and friends if an emergency were to happen. “No students shied away from difficult tasks. Nobody did anything easy. It was a very exciting experience,” said Jeremy Morris, a judge at the event. Just finishing its third year, OHI/O Hackathon has grown tremendously since its beginning. In the first year, there were only about 100 participants. Having five times that amount this year is an improvement and the creators and directors of OHI/O aim to keep growing. "The vision of OHI/O is to foster an awesome tech culture at Ohio State & beyond," the organization tweeted. It is clear that the organization does just that with the dedication and hard work of everyone who contributed to the 2015 hackathon.

FROM STELLA WITH LOVE

spice it up

o, you’ve been together for awhile now. The sex is still good but you realize that you might need to spice it up a bit before winter break begins. I mean, you want your cutie to miss you while you're apart, right? It's time to rekindle the flame by throwing a little gasoline on it. What do you do?

I am here to tell you ways that you can revamp your sex life and have the best sex ever. Have no fear, Stella is here. Do you find you and your partner having sex in the same positions over and over? Nothing new, eh? Don’t be afraid to try new positions! The thought of trying something new might be scary at first, but becoming more comfortable around your partner will help in giving your sex life the boost it needs.

something sexy to wear in the bedroom. The holidays (’tis the season) are right around the corner, which means festive lingerie and snowman boxers will be in stock at stores. Surprise your boo-thang with a little something extra special this season before you leave campus to go home for break. They’ll not only love that you thought of them when you were out shopping, but they’ll love the effort you’re making in the relationship. Speak up! Don’t be afraid to be forward and ask for what you want. Your partner will find your directness hot *flame emoji* and it will turn them on knowing what the best way to please you is. Finally and most importantly, be excited about your sex life. When you’re sexually excited, it excites your partner even more than they already are.
