Mexico

Over the summer, I went on my favorite vacation yet, Cancun, Mexico. This was not my first time in Mexico but this was by far so much better than last time we went. My parents wanted to go on a big vacation this year because my younger brother just graduated high school and my brother and I are graduating college next year. 

When we first got to Mexico, it was really late at night so we didn't do much but we walked down to the beach and it was so pretty. Ever since I was really young, I loved going to the beach and seeing the water. Throughout the week, my mom and I would wake up early and walk down to the beach to watch the sunrise and it was always stunning. It was not too hot so it was super enjoyable. Also seeing all of the lemurs was so cool! You would be able to feed them food and they would try and climb up to grab what you have in your hands. They were most active in the morning so my mom and I would always see a bunch by the ocean. 

One of my favorite days of the trip was when my family visited Chichen Itza. This is one of the 7 Wonders of the World and it was stunning to look at. Hearing all of the history with all of the ruins that were at the site were memories that I will hold onto for a very long time. After visiting Chichen Itza, we went to the cenotes. Cenotes are natural deep water that is underground. We were able to repel down into the water and then swim around for a while. 

After a week of fun, it was time to head back to Ohio. While I miss Mexico a lot, I was also super happy to get back to life at home. I was so happy that I was able to hang out with my family especially all my siblings before we all started to take different paths in life.

    I'm so jealous you got to go to Mexico! I need to visit at least once in my life. I feel like the lemurs would be so cool to see because it's not a typical animal we see. I can tell that the sunsets were absolutely gorgeous!

    This is so cool! I've never been to Mexico, but I only hear good things about people who go! I already know that the weather must've been gorgeous. So cool that you guys got to encounter animals so closely!

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
