What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
To me, being a buckeye has meant finding a home away from home, eating chicken tenders at Mirror Lake, all-nighters filled with laughter, away games, and finding some of the best friends I'll ever have. I know that the joy as the memories I’ve experienced as a Buckeye won't end after graduation because Buckeye Pride is forever. Being a Buckeye means being a part of a community much bigger than oneself and striving to make it even better so future Buckeyes can love their time at OSU as much I have. Being a buckeye means a lifetime filled with joy and growth as we all continue to experience "How Firm Thy Friendship O-HI-O."
