Mud Volleyball



    Over the weekend, my lacrosse team participated in the mud volleyball tournament that was being hosted by one of the on campus groups. The lacrosse team had two teams that were in the tournament, we mixed the teams up so that both teams would have all grade levels and we can use this as a bonding experience. My team was very in it to win it and was going to do anything and everything to win. When they were calling out the team that were going to be playing against each other, we were going against the senior basketball team and we knew they were going to be the team to beat. 

    When first getting into the mud, it was a very different feeling but we all started splashing each other with the mud and having a lot of fun  with each other. We played the first set and it started off very close, the score kept going back and forth of who was winning. All of the girls on my team were diving into the mud to make sure that we were going to get the point each time and we ended up winning the set by seven point. In the next set, everyone was having more fun playing in the mud rather than wanting to win, we had to take a second to refocused and got it back together. By the time we were refocused, it was too late and we ended up losing the set by three points.  For the last set everyone was so ready to win that everyone was very focused. It was very close the whole time, always one team going up by one or two points and the other coming back to make it even. At the very end the basketball girls were able to nudge ahead for the win. We were sad that we last but had so much fun playing and are very excited to return next year and hopefully win!

Christmas Formals

Each year, Alpha Xi Delta hosts their Christmas formals which is one of the nicest events that we throw in the fall semester. This allows everyone in the chapter to get all dressed up and spend time with each other. This year, we were able to bring dates with us so I brought Megan. Megan knows a lot of the girls in my sorority because a couple of our friends are in the chapter so it was super fun to hang out with everyone. We started getting ready for the formal a couple hours before it started so before people could come to my house to take pictures and hang.  After some time, we all headed to the event and it was so much fun! When we first went there, we spent 30 minutes taking pictures of the different backdrops that they had set up. It was nice to have different options and fun to take pictures with everyone in the chapter. After some time, we went back upstairs and got hot chocolate and sat at the tables. Everyone talked for time and caught up with everyone else. Once everyone was

Welcome to Ada!

While I was just home last weekend, my parents wanted to come up for the weekend. One of the main reasons for them coming is Megan's parents were also coming up and this would be the first time they have met. We wanted to have a tailgate for the football game with them to get to hangout with all of our friends. In addition to hanging out with Megan's parents, my older brother and I surprised my parents by driving down to The University of Cincinnati to pick up my younger brother,  Aiden.  They haven't seen him since leaving for school so we thought this would be really cool for him to join us this weekend. When my parents saw Aiden, they were shocked. They had no idea that we were going to pick him up for the weekend. This made this whole weekend that much more fun!  We all got the our tailgate location in the late morning. The parents set up all of the food that was made and everyone enjoyed each others' company. A lot of Megan and I's friends showed up to socializ

Unexpected Visits

Ohio Northern is an amazing school but freshman year, my best friend, Kendyl transferred halfway through the academic year. She was unhappy on campus and knew that the best thing was for her to leave. I supported her knowing that Ohio Northern was not the place for her anymore but ever since, I felt like a part of me is missing. Throughout the remainder of the year, Kendyl and I would FaceTime at least once a week, as this was the best way to stay in touch and feel connected to each other.  Sophomore year came around and I was really struggling. I did not enjoy my major and was having minor roommate problems. Kendyl recognized that I was miserable and asked what she could do to help me feel better. I conceded that a weekend visit would really help. At first she did not think she would be able to, but after some convincing she made the trip. This was the best weekend I had all year! Whenever we are together, we always have the best time. Laughing the whole time, there is never a dull mo
