Worried that fall semester classes are just around the corners and you’re not exactly set up for success yet? Don’t be! It just takes a little bit of prepping, planning and shopping to make sure you start the school year off on the right foot.

We’re all about that #shoplocal life, and August is the perfect month to highlight another hashtag we’re all about: #buyblack.
While the term “self-care” is definitely a buzz word, there’s a lot more than buzz behind it.
Need to stretch your budget to fit your needs and your lifestyle? There are a bunch of things an OU student living off-campus can do to make a tight budget way roomier. Here are our 10 best tips for getting savvy with your money:
Southeast Ohio is a gorgeous place – wildflowers, wildlife, forests, amazing geological sites like Hocking Hills – nothing’s quite like the foothills of Appalachia. But all that nature comes with a bunch of pollen, which makes allergy season an entire situation.
It doesn’t need to be said that college students spend a big chunk of their time at OU studying. And one of the great things about campus and adjacent Court Street is that there are great study spots to be found all over.
Living in Athens but haven’t been to Casa yet? That “Shame” scene from GOT comes to mind. Casa Nueva is kind of an uptown hub for Athens – both OU students and permanent residents.
Staying in Athens during OU’s spring break? Don’t mope about in your student rental. Well, unless that’s your vibe – nothing wrong with some cozy self-care. But if you find yourself getting antsy, there’s no shortage of things to do around Athens in the spring time.
Winter can get cold and lonely, right? It’s not exactly fun to meet up at the bars in 20-degree weather, or take a hike in the freezing rain. And not being outside a lot, coupled with it being dark all the time, can give even the cheeriest of people a bit of the sads.
Every home needs a good dusting off after the dark and the cold of winter, especially a student apartment. There was Thanksgiving Break, winter finals, Winter Break, and then the chaos of a new semester. The chaos of the start of your last semester, if you’re graduating.
