Finals Week Giveaways!

12/13/2012

How has your finals week been? Stressful? Hectic? Busy? All of the above? 

Whether you're already chilling at home with your family or hunkered down at Alden with your pillow, blanket and Big Mama's, you're going to like this. We've teamed up with our friends at OU Movie Zone to bring you a finals week treat! We've got several goodies from the movie Ted and a DVD to give away!! We'll be doing the drawing tomorrow at noon and messaging the winners.

Head over to our Facebook, give us a like and also like our posts about the DVD and goodies (there are two posts, but you only get one entry!). If you're already out of town you can still qualify and we'll get you your prize after break. Everyone has a chance to win! 

Good luck and have an amazing break, 

HCOU Staff 

Hey girl, Ryan knows how stressed you are.

I found this gem in Alden this week and I knew my Bobcat sisters have my back this week. We can do it, ladies. Week 16! 

Alden Library

12/8/2012

 

It's week 16. What the what? This week's celeb has to be the most popular spot on campus right now: Alden Library. I'm here right now, in the sweltering heat that muddles brains and causes our finals week stress to rise. I'm not happy to be here, but if you're looking for a spot to study on campus this is a great option. Plenty of tables, computers, printers... but if you head over you might want to bring a power strip. Outlets are scarce this finals week. 

So, Bobcats, have a splendid finals week. May the odds be ever in your favor.

HallOUween 2012

10/28/2012


In my humble opinion, my roommate Sam had the BEST costume of the night. She and her friends made these amazing Lego dudes in the weeks leading up to Halloween. She spent sleepless nights prepping and their hard work paid off. (Picture courtesy of Sam Beachy)

We want to see your HallOUween costumes, OU! Send us your pics from the biggest block party on Earth. hercampusohiou@gmail.com

This week I had the absolute pleasure of seeing one of my favorite bands, Kingsfoil, in concert. Carly Wiita and I went out on a limb and emailed the band's PR rep a few days before the concert in hopes of getting an interview with the band. Wouldn't you know it, almost immediately we were emailed back and told we would be able to meet and interview the band. Que the fangirling. 

HCOU will have an indepth profile of the band and the concert coming soon, but for now enjoy this pic of our magical night. Kingsfoil was the most genuine and friendly group of guys I have ever met and they love Ohio University! We'll be pulling for them to come back in the spring for sure. 

Be sure to download the band's new album, A Beating Heart is a Bleeding Heart, out now on iTunes. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter for tour updates and more!

Pre-Screening of Pitch Perfect coming to Athena

9/16/2012

Note: Want the ticket hookup? Follow @OUMOVIEZONE and @HerCampusOhioU for the hook up! We’ll be giving away tickets and free merchandise this week.

Last weekend I sat down with my friend to enjoy some good ole fashioned YouTube. In a break between Jenna Marbles and Hayley G. Hoover, I told her we had to watch the Pitch Perfect trailer.

“What’s that?”

What’s that?! Only the combination of Mean Girls, Bring It On, Bridesmaids and singing…

“Here’s your certified BU rape whistle! Don’t blow it unless it’s actually happening!”

“I think we should kiss.”
“Sometimes I think I should do crystal meth. But then I think, better not.”

Not only is the sure to be plenty of sassy quips and unforgettable one-liners (“Horizontal running!”), the casting is truly genius. 


Anna Kendrick: Let’s forget her silly Twilight escapades. She shined bright in 50/50 and What to Expect…, she plays the new girl with killer pipes that will bring the all girl-singing group, The Bellas, into this century. I can’t wait to get the soundtrack just to hear her sing the full version of Titanium.
