OACs at Otterbein

-

Happy OAC conference tournament week! I am so excited for my team to be in the position we are in going into the conference tournament. This season has been nothing short of easy. We have battled every obstacle thrown at us this season such as Covid-19, injuries and of course, exhaustion. Our team wants to win this tournament so bad. A championship is right in front of our hands, but it is going to be a fight each night.

Last night, we traveled to Otterbein to take on the cardinals in a quarter-final matchup. We knew this was going to be a total battle. Otterbein had a pretty successful season. They upset John Carroll at the end of the year and stole a win from us. This was only the second time we were playing Otterbein. The first game was canceled due to us having 13 girls sick with Covid-19. From the start, our team was ready to play. We were extremely disappointed in our efforts in the first game, which made us fight even harder. The referees didn't call too many fouls, but I didn't mind. I would rather them let us play hard than call little fouls every second.

We left Otterbein with a huge win and smiles on our faces. We are not done yet. This team has so much potential and big aspirations. Tomorrow night, we face John Carroll. This game means so much to the seniors especially. To add, there is a slight rivalry between John Carroll and us. I foresee a physical, tough game tomorrow night. I cannot wait until tipoff.

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

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

Swinging into Spring Basketball

It feels like yesterday my first collegiate basketball season ended, but I find myself with virtually a full schedule again. Spring basketball events are all optional, but my team truly loves being together in the gym. I was so excited to see everyone at our first open gym. I think it is funny how much we didn't realize that we missed each other. Basketball season is very long and demanding. Aside from class, we spend almost every hour of our days together. It felt weird to go to class and not have practice afterward. After our first open gym, we went to dinner together and took over an entire room in the engineering building. We had so much to tell one another. Personally, I missed laughing until my stomach hurt. My teammates are joys to be around. We started voluntary conditioning this week. We condition at 5:45 a.m., but I like working out early in the morning. There is no better satisfaction than completing an entire workout while everyone else is still asleep. My teammates and
