Infinite Possibilities

I believe sometimes humans take for granted all that life has to offer. The amount of adventures and places to explore on Earth are nearly endless. It is easy for us to get in situations where we feel overly content with where we are and forget that we can go anywhere. I am very grateful to have explored several unique locations such as the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. As I continue to get older, I realize that visiting these types of places more frequently can become a reality if you can set up a plan to do so. There is also so much to be seen outside of the United States. I have never been able to visit Europe or Mexico but these two places are on my highest priority to explore. Out of all the countries in Europe, Spain strikes me as the most interesting place due to the unique culture of the Spanish. From the Running of the Bulls to experiencing their cultural dishes, I feel like this would be a very overwhelming experience that I would benefit from. European countries such as Spain, France, and the United Kingdom are one of the top tourist locations for good reason, but I personally think the best locations are those not generally visited. One of these locations that come to my mind are the selection of islands to choose from in Greece. Santorini is one of their most popular, but there are over 220 islands to see. It is nice to have a place or community to call home, but it is just as nice to be able to create a new home away from home. There are an endless amount of vacations to be taken to truly enjoy all that Earth has to offer. I hope to take advantage of the opportunity and explore as much as I can, and would recommend to you to do the same. At the end of our lives, we will never say we wish we worked another hour. We will instead think back on all the memories we created, and it is safe to argue that a good bit of these will come from vacations.

    I agree that humans often take for granted all that life has to offer. Sometimes the greatest experiences come when you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I think it is awesome you are recognizing while in college the importance of traveling and experiencing other cultures. Being able to start planning and saving now will pay off big time later.

    Being able to travel is one of my goals in the future. I’m a big believer in spending money on experiences rather than tangible things. That’s so cool that you’ve had the opportunity to travel. I was supposed to spend time in Europe last year, but my plans were ruined by COVID. I was supposed to go to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. Hopefully I will be able to go in the near future!

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
