A Great Homecoming Weekend

This weekend I was able to witness Ohio Northern's homecoming weekend. This homecoming weekend began Saturday with the annual homecoming parade. Right after the parade was the tailgate for the football game at Dial-Roberson Stadium. My friends and I had a very fun time playing cornhole and also making predictions for college football games. It was a cool experience to see a community of alumni and students interact with each other. I was able to meet a few alumni and they all shared cool stories of their time at Ohio Northern. After a good amount of time spent tailgating, it was time for the big game. Ohio Northern was playing against Muskingum and the polar bears were ready to get a victory. I had the opportunity to live tweet throughout the football game to share my experience with others on Twitter. The weather was perfect for the game and the atmosphere made the game exciting. The beginning of the game was disappointing due to myself finding out that I had lacked service for the prior hours. It was not until the middle of the first quarter when I figured out how to connect my phone to service. This was disappointing to me as my tweets had not been sending out until then. From there I was engaged and ready to be the best Twitter reporter. The game was close for the first half and there were several exciting plays. Unfortunately, the second half would be a different story as Muskingum would pull away. They would end up winning the game despite Ohio Northern's resilient effort. I really enjoyed being able to spend the afternoon trying something new while also enjoying one of my favorite sports. It made it even better that I could do it for my own school team rather than a random football team.

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
