I'm working on creating a book composed of college stories submitted by OSU students and alumni of all ages. As a 4th generation OSU graduate, I thought it would be fun to see how the college experiences of OSU students compared throughout the years. Become a part of the legacy and add your favorite college stories to the topics below by commenting on the original post. Make sure to include the year the story occurred as well as your major in the stories you submit. Please change the names within the stories to keep them anonymous! The deadline for submissions is January 1st.

Best and worst classes

I will never forget this professor...

The college budget

Beer or dinner, beer or dinner, beer or ... beer!

Greatest Success

Studying abroad!

And that's when I knew we would become best friends...

 "It's the times we're so crazy, that people  think we're high.  It's times we laugh so hard, we can't help but cry.  It's all the inside jokes and "remember whens".  Those are the reasons that we're best friends" - Unknown

What was popular?

"I remember my first..."

What clubs were you involved in?

Free beer after the ski club meetings!

College Relationships

She literally shoved a guitar in between herself and the boy trying to kiss her.  This turned out to only be a temporary solution, so she made some spaghettios and shoved them in her mouth too!

Study Habits

To my friend across the hall, thank you for introducing me to this quote freshman year! "You have 4 years to be irresponsible here.  Relax.  Work is for people with jobs.  You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends.  So, Stay out late.  Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday.  Spend money you don't have.  Drink till sunrise.  The work never ends, but college does."  - Tom Petty

Typical Meal

Does the freshman 15 or the sophomore 20 really exist?

Living Situations

The cardboard box outside may have actually been preferable to this apartment after all...

Biggest "Oh Shit" moment

The "OH Shit" moment definition, "the point in time when you realize what you originally thought was a good idea, was in actuality really stupid." - Urban Dictionary

*Best* pick-up line with success/ failure stories

"Ouch!  My mouth hurts!  You must be so sweet that you're giving me a cavity."

First Day of College

"You are entering the best four years of my life"
