Thanksgiving Break

Nothing is better than being at home with your family and being able to spend time with all of your friends. Being able to go home for Thanksgiving my favorite break is my favorite by far. When first going home, it was my sister's birthday so we went out to dinner and then went to one of our family friend's house. Over the weekend, I stayed at home and did homework. This really helped me feel a lot better when coming back to campus. There are so many assignments with the semester coming to an end but we are in the final weeks. 

Through the week, I was able to be with some of my friends that I do not see much when I am at school. All of my friends and I go to different schools so the only time that we all get together is when we are on break. We watched the movie The Greatest Showman on the projector in my garage and had snacks. Everyone brought a different snack that reflected their personality. I brought a trail mix because you never know when it comes to me. I can be really sweet but if you are mean to any of my friends I will stand up for them. This was so much fun and it was so nice to see everyone!

On Thanksgiving, all of my family came over. While this meant that five people came over, it was still nice seeing the family that was able to come. We watched soccer for a while and then went and played board games. When playing games, everyone gets very competitive which makes everything so much more fun. Later that night we went over to my uncle's house to see my dad's side of the family. It was really nice to see that side of my family because we do not see them due to everyone having busy schedules
. We played euchre which is one of my favorite games and I won all of the games with my younger brother! Overall this was such an amazing time and I had so much fun being at home. While I am excited to be back on campus, I am very ready to go back for Christmas break.

    So glad you were able to have a good time at home! I agree, doing homework at home made me feel a lot better about the upcoming final weeks. Seeing my family and friends from back home was one of my favorite things as well.

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
