Maintaining motivation Overcoming the Mid-Semester Slumps By LAUREN EVERY
I
t’s that time of the year. The weather gets colder, the midterms are more frequent, the coffee just doesn’t feel as strong and it’s harder and harder for you to get out of bed and walk on over to that 8 a.m. that you hate. Although seasonal depression is an actual condition, I think sometimes we all just suffer from The Mid-Semester Slumps. You’ve been on top of your workload (for the most part) for the past few months and, even with Ohio State’s new fall break, it’s time for a vacation because you are worn out. Well, don’t fret. We know you can make it through the semester and here are some tips how to make it through with as much oomph as you can muster.
Set realistic goals by using your time management skills to their fullest potential. It’s one thing to put “finish paper” in your planner for next Tuesday when it’s due and it’s another thing to actually do it before Monday evening. Instead of making your goals vague, try planning each day out. Write down when you plan on taking time to actually sit down 8
UWEEKLY • October 28, 2015
and focus on your work for an hour or two each day. Doing a little work each day will make sure the assignments you’re turning in are up to par and will also ensure that you don’t have a mental breakdown when it’s not done the night before the assignment is due.
Friends don’t let friends fail their classes. There are friends who encourage you to go out instead of studying whenever they can and, although these kinds of friends are definitely needed, tell them they’ll just have to wait. Instead, hang out with your studious friends or friends in your classes. If you have any questions about an assignment, tapping your friend on the shoulder for help is much quicker than tapping the refresh button on your email to see if your TA or professor answered you yet.
Stay active. Believe me, I am not gym rat and I honestly don’t ever look forward to a work out, but, I have never regretted a work out either. Staying active keeps you energized and feeling refreshed. uweekly.com
When you’re active, blood flow is increased and when blood flow is increased, that means more oxygen is running through your body and when that happens, energy is created. In order to have productive days, you need lots of energy.
Have fun and reward yourself. This one is pretty self explanatory, but nothing is better than hitting the submit button and then hitting the town with friends. Make sure to let yourself celebrate your accomplishments whenever possible. You worked hard and you deserve some positivity. Retail therapy, beer, pizza, puppies. Take your pick. Stick to it, guys. You almost have another semester under your belt. Until then, take Shia LaBeouf’s advice about your next school assignment and “JUST DO IT.” We know you can.

last minute costumes 5 ideas to spark your spirit By KAITLIN BRADLEY
W
e are now only a few days away from Halloween weekend, one of the biggest times of year for parties, and a costume is a must. However, most college students don’t have days to spend planning their costumes during the height of midterm season, which leaves us in the week of panic. Do we revert to an old classic or try to do a pop culture reference? How do you make the costume without breaking the bank? Never fear, Buckeyes, because we’re here to give you five last-minute costume ideas that aren’t overdone.
Olivia Pope approved neutral outfit. Grab your S.O. or best friend to be the Abby or Fitz to your Olivia for a sexy and subtle costume.
Get Gory If you’re all about the blood and guts but don’t want to overdo the cost, think about hitting your own closet for a sleek, black dress and using red makeup as fake blood a la AHS’ Countess. Whether you’re a vampire or just trying to score points for the gore, using makeup can elevate your costume from average to insta-worthy.
Public Figures TV Reference A TV show reference costume is the perfect way to incorporate pop culture into Halloween without being passe. For a show like Scandal, raid your work clothes closet to put together the perfect

Make it Cereal Give everyone a taste of your favorite morning treat by going as a childhood cereal. Love Rice Krispies? Grab two friends and go as Snap, Crackle and Pop! If you’re looking for a solo costume, grab some fangs, a cape and a chocolate bar for some Count Chocula fun. If you want to put a twist on it, add a fake weapon to your costume . Now you're a cereal killer.
Cult Classics Cult classic movies never go out of style and neither do their costumes. For some, it’s as simple as a wig and some red lipstick to transform into Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction in minutes. If you want a more romantic classic, grab a peasant dress and a crown to be a modern Princess Buttercup.
Gec classes that don't suck Fulfill your requirements & have fun By JACOB GEERS
W
ondering what classes you are going to take to cover your pesky GE requirements? Well, with some help from your fellow students, UWeekly totally has your back! Here are 5 awesome classes that will either be super interesting, or super easy, and will bring you one checkbox closer to graduation.
Geology of National Parks (EARTHSC 1105) This class should knock out a science requirement without too much headache! The class explores the geological processes, materials, and history revealed in National Parks. Past students say the class offers a ton of extra credit and is a total breeze! Beware, however, the class might not count for a science GEC if you are an honors student or pursuing a Bachelors of Science.
Magic and Witchcraft in the Medieval and Renaissance Eras (MEDREN 2666) This class will knock out a “Culture and Ideas” or “Diversity and Global Studies” GE class all while submersing you in the history of -- you guessed it – witchcraft (!!). The class is said to explore the role that magic and sorcery has played in nation-states and cultures from 400 – 1700 C.E.
The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll (MUSIC 2252) This class will fulfill a “Visual and Performing” Arts GE requirement, all while rocking your world. (Okay, promise I am done with puns 4eva). Past students say this class isn’t too hard and, at times, is super interesting! SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

dive into the unknown
Living in the moment and seizing every opportunity By GEoff HAMMERSLEY
O
n the way to Rutgers this past weekend, I began to think back to all the Ohio State games I’ve been able to broadcast for my job at a student sports radio station. From Northwestern to Illinois, to Michigan and the national championship game, I’ve lived a pretty good college life.
thing I hear.
However, the Rutgers game felt a little different. It felt nostalgic. This was the end; not in life, but just the end of my journey in Piscataway, New Jersey. After the game ended, I walked around the stadium, snapped a picture of the “Birthplace of College Football” padding behind one of the goal posts, and just took in the environment.
When opportunity knocks, you have to open the door. Even if you just crack the door, you have to at least acknowledge the opportunity in front of you. I look at this situation as the “If I were hit by a bus” mentality. In the book “10 ½ Things No Commencement Speakers Has Ever Said,” author Charles Wheelan asks the question: would you regret living your life a certain way, if you were to be hit by a bus tomorrow. A morbid but valid thought.
We get caught up in the hustle-and-bustle of life, but don’t really stop and take in the surroundings. The past three years of life at Ohio State have flown by for me. When I talk to others, they feel the same way. “It’s going too fast,” is the common

Gut feelings are a strange thing. They let you know when things are good or bad, without any conceited evidence. After the broadcasting equipment was packed at Rutgers, the gut feeling was, “Geoff, I don’t think we’ll ever be here again.”
The worst thing in life, or any phase of life for that matter, is to be filled with regrets and the “should have done ‘x’ instead of ‘y’” belief. If there

Time is not an object that can be bought for eternity. In fact, you’ll only lose time and it may come without notice. To make the game of life even more difficult, you really can’t predict how the future will go. By taking some opportunities, you might open new doors, while simultaneously closing others. It’s that chance of having something better that intrigues us. You want to maximize the opportunities you have, not limit them. At the same time, you need to take in the opportunities and embrace them, because you don’t know what going to happen tomorrow. Life is an enormous ocean of the great unknown. You have to take the initiative to dive under and discover what it has to offer.

in j.t. we trust Barrett, Elliott help Buckeyes cruise past Rutgers By @GEOFFHAMMERSLEY a t Rutgers, the birthplace of college football, the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes had a re-birth of sorts, showing why they are the No. 1 team in the nation.
A
Joey Bosa and Sam Hubbard found ways to get sacks; Darron Lee and Joshua Perry attributed to five tackle-for-losses; and Gareon Conley treated himself to an interception via Chris Laviano.
Behind 223 passing yards and 101 rushing yards, newly crowned starting quarterback J.T. Barrett accounted for five touchdowns in the Buckeyes 49-7 victory.
Laviano was pulled from the game in the fourth quarterback, and backup Hayden Rettig led the Scarlet Knights to their only score of the game with less than 15 seconds left in regulation.
In the AP Poll that was released Sunday, the Buckeyes stayed on top with 39 first place votes – 11 more than they had the week prior.
The Buckeye performance didn’t go unnoticed by many. On Monday morning, the Big Ten Conference announced that Barrett was co-Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, splitting the honor with his Michigan State counterpart, Connor Cook.
While Barrett was as advertised, running back Ezekiel Elliott took some time to get to the 100-yard plateau. After the first quarter, Elliott had 15 yards rushing on seven carries. However, another 100-plus yard second half put Elliott over the century mark – including a thunderous 55-yard touchdown in the waxing moments in the fourth quarter. Defense also played a factor in the win, too.

team rolls into their bye week. Additionally, the college football playoff committee will announce their first batch of playoff teams. A great showing by the Buckeyes will leave a positive impression on the committee, giving OSU an edge on being No. 1. Recharging may be the best thing for the Buckeyes, but it leaves the pack of teams behind them to gain ground. Fortunately, No. 2 Baylor (7-0, 4-0) goes on their bye week as well. No. 3 Clemson (7-0, 4-0) can leave a great impression on voters if they take down NC State (5-2, 1-2) on the road. Last week, Clemson demolished Miami 58-0, leading to Miami to fire their head coach, Al Golden, after the worst loss in program history. The Buckeyes can’t control how other teams perform. However, if the they play the way they did against Rutgers from here on out, they have the inside track to going back to the CFP.

Long road ahead CBJ to make up lost ground
T
By ryan mcglade
he first three weeks of the Columbus Blue Jackets’ season were nightmarish to say the least. They included goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky admitting that he had “zero confidence” after surrendering 18 goals through the first four games, the team posting its worst start to a campaign in franchise history and the club firing then-head coach Todd Richards after a 0-7-0 start. The club, however, grabbed its first victory of the year on Oct. 24 at Colorado when it defeated the Avalanche, 4-3, in regulation. The win came in John Tortorella’s second game as the head coach of Columbus, after replacing Richards on Oct. 21. “We talked about it -- there’s no sense in feeling sorry for yourself,” Tortorella said after the win in Denver. “We felt this was the type of game to get out of those slumps.” During the eight-game losing streak, the team showcased inconsistent play that entailed sloppy passing and players being out of position - to name a couple flaws. Now with their first win, the Blue Jackets can get back on the road to meeting preseason expectations. However, those eight losses put the CBJ in a hole. In the first eight contests of the year, Columbus had a chance of potentially earning 16 points in the standings. Since they did not garner even one of said points, the squad has some making up to do. Fortunately, there are still five-plus months left in the season. “We’ll enjoy tonight [the Colorado win], understanding that we’ve got to get back to work and that this is the type of effort we need to win,” forward Brandon Dubinsky said. While many negatives have loomed over the Blue Jackets for much of the opening month, there have been some positives in the early goings.

Soulful Set A modest Leon Bridges rocks the LC By CHELSEA CASTLE
O
n a brisk October night, packed like sardines in LC Pavilion, 26-year-old crooner Leon Bridges took a sold-out crowd back in time to the 1960's. His music wasn’t the only throwback – the soul singer and his band emulated the era magnificently with their sharp wardrobe and grand sounds. Bridges began his 75-minute set with a slow song; the stage was dark, and two lonely spotlights shone on him playing alone with his guitar. When the song broke, the lights were up and an elaborate velvet backdrop was revealed, adding to the 60’s flair. This moment set the stage for the evening with “Flowers,” a fun, dance number. I was anxious to see how the young and fresh singer would command a stage and packed venue. He did so swimmingly; few artists I’ve seen perform live have been as humble and genuine as he. He thanked the crowd often – like, a lot. “Y’all crazy, you sold out the venue! I really appreciate you.” “Thank you for selling out the venue! Sometimes I’ll get too nervous to play. Can I just perform for you on FaceTime?” Introductions preluded several songs, as Bridges shared that “Lisa Sawyer” is about his mother and “Let You Down” was about messing things up with a girl. “It’s a little bit personal,” he cooed. Several times he even offered advice to the fellas in the audience. “You got to put your lady before yourself. Ya gotta be good to ‘em, fellas.” I always appreciate a good band intro, too, where Bridges shared that his saxophone player (who was quite impressive) had been with him ever since he was performing open mic’s to 10 people. Bridges crushed his hits, “Coming Home” and “Smooth Sailin’.” But it was “River,” performed SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

I would call myself "minimalist grunge." While lots of my outfits are minimal, I definitely incorporate lots of grungy flairs into my everyday outfits.
Why is personal style important to you? It's so important to show the world who you are, especially at such a large university where it's easy to feel like a small fish in a big pond. If someone else feels your style, boom, you made a friend.
necklace $18 Urban Outfitters
Who / What inspires you? I am inspired a lot by Instagram. I follow a ton of bloggers and brands and if I see a cool outfit, I try to somehow do my own take on it. My favorite blogger right now is Luca Fersko. Check him out.
What is your go-to outfit? My dad jeans with a graphic tee and a bomber jacket.
How do you pick your outfits? Joggers $78 Abercrombie & Fitch
If it's just a typical day of school, I start by picking a shirt and then building around the colors of the shirt. I have a lot of neutral jackets that I can layer over whatever I'm wearing which makes it easy to outfit in a hurry. I like to keep things as monochrome as possible.
What fall trend is your favorite? This A/W season grungy 90s vibes are in full swing, and I am so loving it. Speaks to my grungy acid-wash soul.

balmain for h&m Pros & cons By TAMIKA SMITH
L
ast Tuesday, Balmain creative designer Olivier Rousteing debuted the collection for the 2015 H&M designer collaboration. The collection, which was announced in May and was a trending topic on Twitter, is one of the most anticipated H&M collabs yet. With hot celebs like Kendall Jenner wearing clothing from the collection the past few months, there's no wonder why so many are waiting to get their hands on it. In a recent interview with Vogue, Rousteing expressed how he wanted to do the collaboration so that kids who could not afford Balmain would be able to finally rock the brand. A definite target audience for the collection: college-aged kids. Though the craftsmanship and attention to quality that went into the collection are indubitable, there are still both pros and cons to the collection as a whole.
The Good: The price point. The Balmain items being offered in the H&M collaboration (including clothing, shoes and accessories) are significantly cheaper than strictly Balmain clothing. Balmain's signature “Balmain Paris” tee is being offered in the H&M collection at $34.99, while a similar Balmain tee costs $290 and up on the Balmain website. Variety. Many past H&M collabs in the past have lacked a variation of items. The Balmain collection, however, is a large one; offering more than 100 different pieces including men's and women's jackets, blazers and pants and shoes. The collection also offers a variety of accessories. Resemblance to Balmain. One thing true of many past high end designer and H&M collabs is the lack of resemblance with actual designer products. But, many garments in the Balmain collaboration resemble and almost replicate products from Balmain's 2012 and 2013 collections.
The Not So Good: The price point (yes, I did just mention this as

pizza, please 3 pizza joints near campus By Ashley Wilkinson
C
raving pizza is a common routine for college students and, lucky for us, there are tons of pizza restaurants near campus. Some are amazing, while many are merely average. Don't get average pizza! Check out these places (or go again if you've already been) to indulge in delicious, mouthwatering pies!
Blaze Pizza 1708 High St. Blaze Pizza is still relatively new to the campus area with a hip and modern concept. Its concept is “make your own on the spot;” a concept that restaurants such as Subway and Chipotle use. Build your pizza with seven choices of meat, 17 choices of veggies, seven types of cheese and six different sauces! The possibility for your pizza masterpiece are practically endless! My recommendation: pizza with white cream sauce, pesto drizzle, goat cheese, grilled chicken, smoked garlic, basil and sautéed onions. Yum! Blaze Pizza can be found on High Street, close to the Union.
Harvest Pizzeria 495 S 4th St. I absolutely love the vibe at Harvest Pizzeria in German Village. It’s cozy, warm and has amazing service. Choose to sit inside its rustic themed restaurant or eat outside on the patio. Harvest Pizzeria prides itself in its use of farm-fresh ingredients from Ohio farmers. The pizzas offered are unlike typical 22

pepperoni or supreme pizzas. The restaurant serves pies such as the Fennel Sausage Pizza, the Almond Pesto Pizza and the Goat Cheese Pizza. Other than pizza, Harvest serves many other delicious dishes such as gnocchi, hummus and pimento cheese dip for appetizers or for smaller meals. Don’t forget dessert! Harvest also makes dessert pizza (Harvest pretty such has it all)!
Fabian’s Pizza 691 N High St. Fabian’s is the place to get delicious and mouthwatering deep dish pizzas! Located just inside the Short North, Fabian’s is whipping out amazing Chicago style pies. Small pizzas cost around $15, while large specialty pizzas cost around $20. If you want amazing deep dish, you need to check out this place! The environment is inviting and friendly, and you won’t leave disappointed. Fabian’s also bakes up delicious stromboli and sub sandwiches. Next time you’re craving pizza, don’t go to Papa John’s or Little Caesar’s. Try these amazing places! They will quench your cravings and leave your stomach happy. As long as you don’t eat a whole pizza by yourself, that is.
Nutella + Pizza?
O
=YUM
ften times, pizza is thought to only be a savory dish with cheese and options to add meat and vegetables. I’m sure it’s common knowledge that pizza can be a very unhealthy meal and the recipe I’m going to share with you is a tad unhealthier than the average pizza. But, I promise, it will make your taste buds go wild.
Nutella Pizza For this recipe, you will need: Uncooked pizza dough 1 jar Nutella 3 bananas 1 cup peanuts Chocolate sauce Vanilla ice cream Prepare and cook the pizza dough according to the directions on the label (depending on what crust you use) minus three minutes. Before the crust is completely cooked through, remove from the oven, spread on the Nutella and top with banana slices. Place back into the oven for the remaining three minutes. When the pizza is done, let it cool and top with peanuts, scoops of ice cream (don’t go too overboard with this),and drizzle with chocolate. After taking a bite of this delectable pizza, you’ll definitely appreciate pizza as a food group more than you did before!

Making your cubical feel like home By EMILY RUDDUCK
A
sad fact of life is that you will spend a huge chunk of your time at your place of employment. Whether you are positioned in a cubical, immersed in a sea of surrounding cubicles or enjoying a scenic view from your workspace at home (lucky!), your butt will be in that chair. To avoid the feeling of dread, spruce up your work environment! While you single-handedly cannot control the way a company operates, you CAN control your attitude while you’re there. Follow these steps to makeover your boring workspace.
Keep it Professional This should really go without saying. Don’t adorn your public workspace with paraphernalia that could be considered offensive to others. While you want your space to be a representation of you,
you don’t want to be reported to HR. Graphic, explicit or otherwise inappropriate content should be saved for your personal workspace only, if you so desire.
Pick Something That Represents You Color palettes go in and out of trends. Light pink and gold is a feminine, beautiful color palette, but if you don’t like gold, why decorate with it? Chevron and tribal prints are all the rage, but if you don’t normally like those patterns, don’t use them! You’ll tire of your workspace makeover quickly. To add color, pick up a can of spray paint. Craft stores carry a variety of fun colors, including metallic in every shade. Spray paint a can to hold writing utensils, or a stapler!
Inspire Yourself We all need a little pick-me-up every now and

then, especially when we feel like we’re just lowly entry-level interns/employees and don’t matter. You DO matter and the fact that you’re in a position means that the hiring managers picked you for a reason. Buy $1 frames from the dollar store and spray paint them according to your taste. Fill them with inspirational quotes from your favorite movie, book, show or historical figure. You can make these prints in Photoshop, but if you’re not Photoshop savvy, check out Etsy and support a small business. (They’re usually pretty cheap for small prints and fully customizable!)
Bring In Comfort Items Yep, just like at daycare when you were a kid, bring items that mean something to you to make your workspace homey. (A blanket is definitely a SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

FROM STELLA WITH LOVE
Intelligence=man repellent?
B
eing intelligent is never a bad thing. In fact, as young adults and millennials it’s our job to encourage young girls to become intellectual and independent women. We can’t sit idle and let ridiculous societal rules control our behavior. Here’s the thing, a recent study suggested that men find intelligent women attractive but are unlikely to date them. Guys like fiery and ambitious females, but when it comes time to date them? Nah, they’ll pass. Are you freaking kidding me? The idea that men are scared of women more intelligent than them, and can’t learn to be with someone that’s their equal (or better), is disgusting. What are they afraid of? We don’t bat an eye when a man has more power or intelligence in the relationship. Also, isn’t having a strong woman with a strong man better than one partner being successful? Think, Jay Z and Beyoncé (or David Beckham and Victoria Beckham). They’re the epitome of #relationshipgoals. Both partners are masters of their world and two great minds are definitely better than one. If this is public knowledge, why are guys still afraid of intelligent women? The answer is both simple and complicated. Society has made us believe that men must be the breadwinner, the strongest and the alpha. On the other hand, women are the homemakers, the weak and the beta. Therefore, when men come across women who are more successful or driven—they feel insecure. This idea is imbedded in history, and it’s hard to change the way we think of tacit codes. Fortunately, many of us are now challenging these archaic ex
pectations. There’s a new wave of media outlets stressing equality that are finally giving women the attention they deserve. Look, we’re making progress. I took to Google to learn more and what I found out was surprising. "Strong, aggressive, ambitious people intimidate weak, passive, lackadaisical people regardless of sex,” said a 25-year-old male. “They remind these people of the existential crisis that cause their current state of being. It's the gap in intelligence — not gender — that causes the intimidation.” Let me address this — while this is a very valid point, I think gender has something to do with the problem. Not all men would agree it’s a matter of characteristics; many find it absolutely absurd to be intimidated by any woman — simply because she’s a female. Furthermore, ambitious men don’t intimidate women. In fact, they find security and inspiration in these men. So why do we allow men to subjugate us to a less attractive status for being intelligent, motivated and successful, when we praise them for having all of those characteristics? You’re well on your way to becoming a fabulous, strong and adventurous lady. However, no matter how much you want a guy, do not compromise the intelligent and driven woman that you are. If you ever find yourself in this situation, that guy is not worth it.
