Go.
During finals week, a group of friends and I decided to take a load off for a night, dress up all fancy, and go out for a nice, semi-formal dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse. The group of us went out in blazers and dresses with a pocket full of change and a mind full of anything but finals. We took the COTA downtown, got off earlier than we needed to and had to walk the rest of the way there. Once we arrived, we checked our reservation, waited a bit in the room where we took these dapper photos, and soon after were seated. Amidst great conversation, we gorged ourselves full of (realitvely inexpensive) high quality Italian food, finally resulting in the best food coma I’ve had since move-in day.
Once we had all finished eating and paid, we left and walked around downtown looking at the lights and stunning architecture of Columbus’s most active districts. Some running around a place that looked like a park lead to us heading back to High Street, and walking up to the State House, where we hung around and made jokes about being law makers and what-not while waiting on a bus to take us back. When the COTA arrived, we hopped on and started singing A Capella style in the back of the bus, where a few strangers joined in as well.
Finally we returned home to Three Park, and let the reality of having to study for finals consume us, as we did previously to a few spaghetti bowls and lasagnas.
