OSU beats Penn State


Growing up in Columbus with a mom that worked at OSU, I was no stranger to OSU or the Buckeyes. I grew up wearing a Buckeyes shirt every Friday and Saturday in the fall. I went to the RPAC and hung out with all the other kids who had parents that worked at OSU that went to the football games on Saturdays. As I got older, I began to go to the games with my mom and was welcomed into the high energy and vivacious atmosphere. However, attending with my mom in assigned seat section A as nothing compared to the student section with all of my college friends. Attending the Penn State game was not only an emotional roller coaster, but it also truly showed how close my friends at OSU are to me, and how close the OSU community as a whole is. We were all high-fiving, groaning, cheering, and booing at the same times. We were hugging random people every touchdown. We were all holding our breath at the same time. That stadium was united in one common goal and one common enemy and it made me realize how much I love my school. OSU is a community, united together in our common goal of athletic superiority, academic greatness, a kind atmosphere, and in entirety, the Buckeye spirit.
