Countdown for Our First Break

The community of polar bears here at Ohio Northern should feel excitement going into these final two weeks before our fall break. We are exactly nine school days away from a long awaited four day break where we all can replenish our academic energy. I have enjoyed our first five weeks on campus but am thrilled to be able to head back to Nashville and enjoy a few days of the southern fall weather. We still have nine school days which means we have not escaped mid-term exams just yet. To be honest, I am unsure when all of mine will be. The only major assignment I have remaining is a paper due next Friday, which makes me thankful to be taking a lighter load of classes this semester. I hope most of my peers get to have a great fall break and enjoy the time at home.
My fall break will be filled with fun activities while my family travels together to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We will take a few days to explore the Great Smoky Mountains which is famous for the morning fog the mountains produce. I am excited to visit this national park again as I have not been there in over five years. We will also visit the University of Tennessee Knoxville and I will get to meet up with a lot of my friends. I will head back to campus on October eleventh and be ready to attack whatever assignments come my way.

    Hi Max, I am jealous that you are going to the Great Smoky Mountains over break. But just like you I am very excited about this break. Being a student athlete I feel somedays I don't even have time to breath. I sometimes even forget to eat. I love Ada and everything it has to offer but sometimes I need to get away from everything.

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. Wi

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
