Walking in Circles

 

        With classes picking up, my friend and I wanted to make sure we were still able to hangout. One of the main ways that we were able to make sure that we are still able to hang out is by walking every night before we wanted to settle down for the night. My friends are all athletes at Ohio Northern and with everyone having a very busy schedule, we want to make sure that we are able to have time to catch up with each other. Additionally, we all are different majors so we are unable to see each other in class so we really rely on this time to see each other. Each night, we would meet at a different person's room and hang out there for a little bit, after some time we leave and go on a walk. Some nights we walked on the Green Monster while other nights we found ourselves wandering around Ada. One of my favorite things about my friend group is that we are all able to focus on our academics and sports when that time is necessary but at the end of the day we are all able to come together and enjoy the time that we have together. 

        While walking at night is one of my favorite parts of my day, my other favorite part of the day is waking up and working out with my teammates. I know that sounds crazy but I have found a new peace when running because it is something that really allows me to not think about anything else that is going on. As soon as we get to the field we turn on music right away to put everyone in a good mood. It might be early but I want to make sure that the energy is there. Additionally, each Friday, we spularg and drive to Dunkin' to get coffee because nothing is better than Dunkin' coffee. Being around my best friends and teammates in the morning really helps me have a good day because just being around them makes my day better.

    Hi Sydney! Taking a walk with my friends was something that I did often last semester. It is even harder to see them this semester, since my roommate and I are in the southside apartments and my friends are all in the Lima complex. I will have to suggest this idea to them! A lot of us really enjoy the Ada sunsets, so I think it would be cool to try and take evening walks to see that. I am glad that you are able to stay connected with the people you care about!

    I absolutely love this idea, and I think we overlook how simple things can be to bring ourselves together with the people we love. I like to take drives out to Lima, and go on little dates with some of my friends when I feel like we haven’t gotten to be together as much as we’d like. It’s always nice to reconnect even just over a dinner!

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
