Approaching the Final Stretch

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. Winter sports are starting soon as men's and women's basketball will be playing games in November. Both teams should be really good this year so the games will be worth the watch. If you enjoy the arts, there are several music recitals and plays that will take place across campus. There are opportunities everywhere on campus for students to spend their time differently than just staying in their dorm. We might be in the remote town of Ada, but there are endless ways to enjoy this university.

    I agree, these past couple weeks have flown by. Part of me is ready for Christmas break, but at the same time I feel like I have a lot of projects left to do. Attending the sports games and musical events is not only great entertainment, but also a great way to support fellow Ohio Northern students.

    I realized two weeks passed quickly after fall break in the aftermath of the break as well. There are only a couple of weeks until the end of this semester, and I felt a little upset to make the most of the time I still have. Also, ONU has a lot of things I don’t know yet so I thought it is important to try something new.

    I have been counting down the days to the end of the semester. I know I probably shouldn't but I like accomplishing things. It makes me feel like I get things down after a successful semester. I look forward to attending some basketball games this winter. GO BEARS!

    I found that a good number of students count down the number of weeks left with a positive and excited attitude. I am the exact opposite. Even though Thanksgiving break is a nice but hard atmosphere to get assignments done there are many assignments and final projects that need to be buckled down on. I have only been to one football game. It was the Homecoming game. It was hard to enjoy with our players getting harassed and beat up by the other team.

The End

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

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
