Girls Weekend in G Town

-

This weekend, I got the joy of traveling down to Germantown, Ohio with my friend Abby. It took us forever to decide we were going to make the trip, but I am so glad that we went. Germantown is close to two hours away from ONU. After our game at John Carroll, which was in Cleveland, we packed our bags fast and were on the road again. 

Abby and I stayed at her childhood home, but we weren't there much the next day. We started the day by going to her church. The church is absolutely beautiful, and I was lucky to meet a lot of very important people in her life. After church, we went to her boyfriend's house for lunch. His mom is an amazing cook! Abby had a zoom call in the afternoon so we didn't stay too long. During her zoom call, I was supposed to be doing my homework, but I took a nap instead. Abby's aunt is moving out of her apartment and needed help carrying cardboard boxes from U-Haul so we headed over to help in the afternoon. Abby is not a coffee fan, but she insisted we headed over to Starbucks after to buy a cake pop. This day was packed with activities, and to top it all off, we went to a Super Bowl party at her family friend's house. I was extremely disappointed that the Bengals lost, but it's a good thing I am a Green Bay Packers fan at heart. 

College is crazy and overwhelming at times, but I am so grateful for the people it has brought into my life. Abby is not just a great teammate, she is an incredible friend. I cannot wait to take her to my hometown!

    Napping instead of homework is such a mood! I love random trips with my friends. My freshman year a group of us went all the way to Cincinnati to find the best root beer in the state! Good friends definitely make this crazy time so much better!

    Your weekend sounded like so much fun! And taking a nap is also very nice when you need it. Also, I LOVE Abby and I am so happy that you introduce her to me and I can agree that she is an incredible friend to have! I can't wait until we hangout again and go on another adventure with each other or going to one of our hometowns who knows what will happen!

College Life can be Sticky

College seems to be a never-ending flood of assignments, due dates, games, events and so much more. How does one keep it all together without forgetting? My solution is the sticky note method. While this may seem extreme to some, and by extreme I mean my roommate looked at me like I was crazy when I bought the biggest pack of sticky notes at Walmart, it helps give me piece of mind. I keep a pack of sticky notes in my desk drawer and my pencil pouch. The one in my pencil pouch is used for taking last minute notes in class and for adding to my homework list. The one in my desk drawer is for my to-do list and reminders. Each night I write out an entire to-do list for the next day to plan my day. When I started the sticky note method this semester, I found myself constantly rewriting my tasks to try to make them fit. The best advice I can give is if it doesn't fit on the sticky note, then it can wait. I have a do-it-all personality, so I struggle with telling myself that I am doing too

Back to Baseball

Spring has sprung, which means baseball season has taken over my family's lives. My twin brother plays collegiate baseball for Owen's Community College, and my younger brother plays travel baseball for Buckeye Elite. It was a huge step for my younger brother to start playing travel baseball. He is only 10 years old, so all of his classmates are still playing for Woodmore. Hunter and I went through the same transition around his age. Looking back at the decision, it was the best for our athletic careers. Travel sports expose you to a whole new level of competition. Everyone who is playing wants to be there, and they want to get better.  My little brother's team has been dominating tournaments. They have won the last four tournaments and were runner-up in the first one. I am impressed with the dedication my little brother has shown toward his team. To enhance his game, he is going to a trainer to work on mobility and strength. Again, my little brother is only 10 years old, so

Fast Freshman Year

My freshman year of college went by way faster than I could have ever imagined. Looking back, I want to cry at the thought of not seeing my closest friends for the next three months. When I first came to ONU, I missed home. I found myself calling my family members, friends and even my old coaches. I was refusing to let go of the life I had left behind. My life at home was comfortable for me. College was full of uncertainty and was quite overwhelming. How was I supposed to be friends with all these random people? The people of ONU have left an everlasting mark on me. The other day, one of my classes was discussing why people stay here. I quickly told my professor the people here are unlike anyone I have ever met. I have made friends across all majors and athletic teams on campus. Everyone on campus supports one another. We celebrate one another's accomplishments in the classroom, and we cheer for one another during athletic events. ONU is a family.  I will genuinely miss my Northern
