LINCOLN'S READING RELAXING DAY!

We all know studying the day before exam can only do so much!

We also know that taking a break while studying is very important and effective.

So why don't you take a break from Reading Day and enjoy Relaxing Day in Lincoln?

This Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 6-9 PM

Floor 15

Yoga, Coloring, Chair Massage, Door/Wall Decorations and PLAYING WITH DOGS!!!

Come make a card or door name tag for your roommie/suitie, get some dog love (you know you miss your dog), enjoy some brain foods and light refreshment and get a massage or do a short yoga session on floor 15!


With Lincoln Love,

LH Staff

We DID beat Michigan twice this year (at least)!!

 WE ARE THE BLOOD CHAMPIONS!!!

After four years, we took back what's rightfully ours. We BEAT *ICHIGAN again for the American Red Cross blood battle of 2012!

Beautiful end of the semester and Michigan still sucks :)

Go Lincoln!

 GO BUCKS!!

PS: Thank you all so much who donated blood this year, not just for the blood battle. You have truly made a difference in the life of at least 1 person (and on average 6 people have been saved with one donation). Love is strong and can move mountains! #lincolnlove

We can BEAT MICHIGAN... Help!!!

Blood drive updates from the ARC Coordinator!

Dear OSU Blood drive supporter, 

Thank you so very much for hosting/partnering on a blood drive during Blood Battle. We are doing very well and now we are down to the last few blood drives.

We are now officially down to the last 2 days of Blood Battle.

Michigan is now DONE with their drives and keeping their results from the past few days until we are done. The suspense!

OSU has a GREAT SHOT at winning THIS YEAR's BLOOD BATTLE!!!! 

Help BEAT BLUE!  SAVE LIVES!  GIVE BLOOD!  Bring the trophy back to OSU!

Add 2011 to this, Michigan has won for the past four years! :(

 

The last 2 days of Blood Battle are here---Tomorrow and Tuesday only!

Our goal is to have 500 donors to help us BEAT BLUE!

Schedules are not yet full for any of the blood drives this week - sign up on www.redcrossblood.org (sponsor code: buckeyes) or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. Promote this to your friends on facebook, twitter, instagram, etc...

For tomorrow's blood drives donors are encouraged to stop by the drive to make an appointment or come by as a walk-in.

For Tuesday's blood drive you are encouraged to call 1-800-RED-CROSS to make an appointment.

* Please keep in mind donors under the age of 19 must meet different height and weight guidelines (please see information attached).

Ballin' with the Prez!!!!

So, as if spending some quality time at Sloopy's eating good food with Brad, Danny, Sam, John, Mitchell, Ryan, Brittany, Hannah, Grace, Rachel, Brett, Bryan, Tom, Matthew, Thomas, Billy, Kevin and Zach *catching my breath* wasn't enough, we got joined by the one and only boss... PRESIDENT E. GORDON GEE!!!

And that's how Floor 18 rolls!!!!

PS: He said he would love to see the rest of the Lincoln Love family... Email him!!

‎"I know today is Monday and you assume it's probably going to suck, but according to statistics, there will be over 5,000 weddings, 10,000 childbirths, and 42 million hugs occurring today throughout the United States. Also today, there will be at least four people that win multi-million-dollar lotteries, and 600 people who get a promotion at work. There will be 600 dogs adopted, 35,000 balloons sold, and 800,000 Skittles eaten. Plus, the words 'I love you' will be said over nine million times. So again, I know today is Monday and you assume it's probably going to suck, but just smile, because according to statistics, it should actually be a really nice day."

I don't know who said this.. but I found it and thought it should be shared. Happy Monday!

who doesn't love online shopping?

Heyyyyyy everybody,

I recently found the coolest website ever and I've been dying to share it with someone.

http://society6.com/

It's full of unique, artsy designed stuff like clothes, art prints, laptop skins, etc. But my favorite are the iPhone cases (I don't even have an iPhone...)

Really though, they are the coolest things ever and I'd be embarrassed to tell you how much time I've spent looking at them. Not kidding .. Haha, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Have an awesome and relaxing weekend --

Kudos to Suites 1910 and 1930 for not only completing all their roommate/suitemate agreements before everyone else, but also for dominating in the recycling competition!

Here are a couple ideas!

Harry Potter + Mean Girls = match made in heaven!

Vote for KLG and Hoda to come to Ohio State and broadcast live! They're looking for the most spirited school in the nation and there's no doubt in my mind that that's us!

One of my favorite OSU traditions...

The Long Walk is probably the most romantic legend we have on campus.  The story goes that when Commencement was still held on the Oval, then-current president William Oxley Thompson, who was also an ordained minister, told the graduating seniors that if they wanted to tie the knot, he would marry them in front of the library after graduation.  Makes sense right?  Why not get married with all of your friends and family already in attendance?

Today, the Long Walk has evolved into one long, complicated, and seemingly impossible task.  It is said that if you can walk from the seal at the east end of the brick path to the statue of Thompson while holding hands with your beloved, while the bells of Orton Hall toll and no one crosses your path, you two will be together forever.

As a hopeless romantic, I thought I would share this with you.

Hey, special shout out to the 1840's for their "Chick Flick Saturdays" and for "ROH" on Sundays.  I look forward to these nights every week!! Keep up the good work.

Drop it like it's hot!

Hey everyone!

So are you taking that class that's stressing you out? The GEC you thought would be easy, but it turns out it's too hard? Something you could take later with a lighter class load?

You can still drop classes without it going on your record!
http://ascadvising.osu.edu/scheduling/classes/drop!

Keep in mind you'll want to make sure you're still a full time student after you drop for the purposes of scholarships and other things. You're always welcome to see an adviser if you have any questions.

But remember, you can still drop without a "W" until THIS FRIDAY!

WOO!
