A Day in the Life

We are in our second week of the 22-23 school year and I have started to get in the routine of school again. One of my favorite sayings for routines is, "the best routine is the one you can stick to." It will not matter if you find a routine where you are only productive 2 out of the 7 days of the week. Routines you can consistently stick to will trump others that make you productive only a fraction of the week. I am excited to share my own routine for my average Tuesday.


To begin the day, I wake up around 5:45 A.M. to get ready for the basketball team's morning workout. We will get to Dial-Roberson stadium around 6:15 A.M. and then get our workout started. Around 8 A.M, we will have finished our workout and my roommate and I will head back to our dorm. After cleaning up, we will head to the Macintosh Diner to have a few breakfast omelets to start the day. My first class is principles of social media with Dr. Agozina where we learn the key uses of several social platforms. This class is from 9:30 A.M.-10:45 A.M and right after this class is when I grab lunch. My next class is intro to comparative politics from 12 P.M.-1:15 P.M. This class is intriguing as it talks about the several different style of governments and politics in the world. My academic day ends here and the rest of the day is reserved for eating, basketball, weightlifting, and studying. I will get back to my dorm sometime around 8 P.M. and on these days I might grab a late-night snack at WOW café and dinery. My go-to snack at WOW is the grilled chicken sandwich or the quesadillas. Once I get back to my dorm, I will be getting ready for the next day and then go to bed.

    Weirdly enough I always find it easier to manage my schedule when I have soccer going on with school. Which makes perfect sense because it kind of forces me to create a routine around when We practice, have games, etc. I guess it really is just whatever makes someone productive.

    Hey Max, as another student athlete I can easily relate to the rigorous load we have. I am glad you have a schedule as most people fail when they try to "wing it". I hope this works out for you and you have a successful school year. Best of luck.

    Hi Max. As a student who is not involved in athletics, I would think college would be a lot more stressful. But, I am glad you are figuring out your own daily routine. I am glad you are making sure you are doing everything to have a healthy lifestyle at college, such as eating enough. WOW quesadillas as a nighttime snack sounds great as someone who gets them regularly for lunch or dinner. After reading your routine, I am still curious on when you get your homework done since you draw a specific timeline between academic parts of your day and athletic parts of your day. I hope that is not getting in the way of a normal sleep schedule.

The End

Image
The end has finally approached us and has become reality. It still feels like the first weeks of August to me where I first stepped into the classroom. I am so grateful for this semester at Ohio Northern University as I believe I learned the most I ever have before. I not only excelled academically but also learned so many important life lessons. This place will forever hold a very special place in my heart as it turned me into a whole different person since I graduated high school. I am excited to go back to Tennessee and reconnect with all of my old friends, but there will always be a missing feeling of not having my buddies there. Luckily, I live in an age where technology can allow us to connect and disconnect with each other in a click of a button. This not only makes moving back to a different state easier for me but also takes a lot of stress off of me. I feel confident that the relationships I have built here will last as long as I am willing to stay connected. It is not the bi...

Approaching the Final Stretch

Image
After this weekend, the students of Ohio Northern will be approaching the final stretch until finals. We have approximately four weeks until Thanksgiving break. Once Thanksgiving break is over, we will only have two more weeks of schoolwork before finals. While this still seems like a lot of time, it has already been two weeks since our fall break. Personally, these past two weeks have gone by faster than usual and I feel these final weeks will only go by faster. Although we will still have to deal with projects and essays, I think it is important for students to remember we are only in college for a finite amount of time. We should try and make the most of these final weeks by whatever means we find necessary.  What are some fun events that will take place at Ohio Northern over the next few weeks? There is only one more home football game and the team will be facing against Wilmington. I encourage all students to experience at least one of these games because they are a lot of fun...

Cancelled Out

This week I was able to explore my ability to host a podcast show. The amount of creativity needed to create a quality podcast allowed me to respect the people who make a living out of them. They are not as easy as simply recording yourself and posting it, despite how much the public thinks it so. I enjoyed being able to call a connection of mine who I have known from Nashville, Tennessee. She has many years of experience with social media and devoted her college years to studying it. Her name is Rosalyn Wells and she was thrilled to be a part of this. The amount of prep that goes into the show before we even began is something I did not expect. I went into this project thinking there would be a small outline and then you would just talk for five minutes. I realized that if you were to create a quality product, then you need to spend as much time needed to get it right. The outline and collaboration with Rosalyn was humbling as she was able to teach me over the effects of social media ...
