Cedar Point



The thrill of riding a roller coaster can not be beat! This weekend my sorority, Alpha Xi Delta went up to Cedar Point on Saturday for a sisterhood event. This is a great way to get to know the new members better and also bond with our current sisters. Growing up I was never the biggest fan of roller coasters, but in the recent years, I started really love the going on all of the rides. 

Halloween weekend is the last weekend that Cedar Point is open, so weekends leading up are very busy. The first ride we went on, we waited three hours and the time was going by super slow. We spent the firs hour catching up and talking about school.By the second hour it was tougher, we started to get hungry and felt like the line was not moving at all. We saw some other people in line playing the game HeadBandz and asked if we could join in. They said yes, so for the next chunk of time, we were all standing around a phone playing the game. This was extremely fun and really helped the time pass. The final stretch in line was the hardest. Everyone was hungry and tired of waiting. As time crept by, we could finally see the front of the line! As we walked up the stairs to get on the ride, I could feel my heart racing, I was so excited but also scared at the same time.

We got on the ride and all of my fear disappeared. As soon as we started moving, I was yelling and having the time of my life! I squeezed my friend's hand so hard, but we were both laughing and enjoying the ride. During our time there, we were only able to go on one other ride. I wish we were able to get to do more rides, but all of the lines were so long and we were not will to wait. We walked back to the car with smiles on our faces, talking about all of the memories we created. Driving over two hour for two roller coster rides might seem like a waste, but I think the time we spent in the line and getting to know the new members made it all worth it.

    I LOVE Cedar Point! I have the worst fear of heights, but something about a rollercoaster just gets me going. I get super nervous on those last few flights of stairs just like you mentioned and that's the worst part. That sounds like such a fun sisterhood event for you guys! I'm glad the wait was worth it for you!

    I've never been to Cedar Point, but I have certainly had similar experiences at amusement parks closer to home (Hershey Park is my go-to!). I am so glad you were able to enjoy the rides you went on and have a great time despite how crowded it was! I also get very nervous on roller coasters, but I think I'm getting a little better, too - so I know exactly how you feel!

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
