Experience of the greatest souvenir shop by Shikey~!

What I first know about OSU is the football team, it seems like everyone's talking about football. And the second thing I heard from others is the population of this university, then the third, huge campus. Actually I didn't so surprised by those aspects because they're totally imaginable, and I even considered the American university wouldn't differ so much from those in China. But then I changed my view.

Different from those in China, besides academic achievement, university in America also has some passionate, youthful and fancy stuffs which are so fascinating and attractive. Now I'd like to introduce my special time at souvenir shop.

From the picture on the right, you can see Brutus, and near him there is a souvenir shop called Conrad's University Souvenir Shop. I've been to the spiritual shop in the campus bookstore where I found some really cool clothes and decoration, but this one's even better! I was going to there for a gift to a friend studying in Washington D.C. university. I had no idea what I was going to buy for him. Since the moment I walked in that shop, I was even more confused of the gift because there are thousands of choices! This is the best souvenir shop I have ever seen! After choosing some interesting earrings, bracelets for myself, I finally found one really unpredictable gift which you can see in the following picture. It's a board game that everyone likes. MONOPOLY's OSU format, BUCKOPOLY! I had so much fun that time.

From American university shop, everything is creative, interesting and variable. They represent the true spirit and students' love.  University students often wear the shirts or accessories to express how they love their school. It's inspirational, exciting and it can make everyone get involved to the university culture. Compare to China, America uses a way to teach students "Work hard, play hard" while we were told to be focus entirely on our education in China. So come on enjoy what we have in OSU! O-H-I-O!
