10 OSU Fundamentals According to a Freshman
 

It's only been two months since I packed up my room and waved goodbye to Mom and Dad. I may be just a freshman, but it doesn't take long to learn a few fundamental rules about OSU. Here are my top 10 tips for becoming a successful Cowboy:

  1. O-State takes homecoming very seriously!
  2. The only thing more serious than homecoming is BEDLAM
  3. Thursday night is a weekend night, rivaling any Friday or Saturday.
  4. Cramming is a sacred study method, practiced by all scholars.
  5. The Student Union is the center of everything: food, campus activities, the post office, the bookstore, the Bursar. You name it, it's there.
  6. Everyone (in the dorms) goes back home on away-football game weekends.
  7. The Daily O'Collegian crossword puzzles are impossible, and they get harder throughout the week.
  8. Naps are a forgotten bliss, resurrected from kindergarten.
  9. Campus sidewalks are a complex communication system. Some schools pay hundreds of dollars purchasing fancy marquis or kill thousands of trees making flyers. Cowboys simply play with chalk.
  10. Wear orange on Fridays. Everybody's doing it.
