Take a Breather

It seems that time has continued to go by faster these past few weeks. One day my phone shows that it is Monday and the next time I check it it shows that it is Saturday. This can be beneficial in some scenarios, especially if you have a hard week to get through or if you have an anticipated trip coming up. Personally, I find that it makes life a lot more stressful as assignments continue to stack on top of each other. This stretch of the school year is always a grind as it is placed right before final exams. The whole month of November tends to feel like it is blended into the final two weeks of the semester, which increases stress on students. I am not taking an exceedingly difficult course schedule this semester and I still feel that my assignments have began to stack. I have sympathy for those on campus that are taking five to six classes and are getting flooded with work. Luckily, there is a reward at the end of this grind and that is the five weeks of winter break. I am ecstatic for it to be December soon as I will be heading to New York City for Christmas. We only have to power through a few more weeks to reach this final destination. In the mean time, I will be busy finishing papers and writing these blogs to my favorite audience.

    Hi Max! I completely agree with you. I already feel the stress that comes with the end of the semester. I have a feeling the break will be here before we know it. I’ve always wanted to go to New York City. I’m sure you will have a great time!

    I could not agree more! These last couple weeks of classes are so stressful as final projects are in full swing and exams are right around the corner. Knowing we get five weeks off for Christmas definitely makes the last nights a little easier. I hope you have a great rest of the semester and enjoy your trip to New York City!

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
