Football and Soccer and Concerts, Oh My!

This weekend was definitely one for the books. On Sunday, I went to my second concert in a month, which was also my second concert ever. My friends and I went to see Pitbull at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana. T-Pain opened for him, so between the two it was a very thrilling, high-energy night! I love all of Pitbull's songs, but I think if I had to choose my favorite one to hear live, I would choose Fireball.

I was also able to go home on Friday night to see my little brother, Jacob's first football game of the season. He is a senior in high school this year, so I want to try to get home to see more of his games than I did last year. The game started off rough, but they were able to come from behind and get the win! He is the quarterback this year and every single touchdown we scored was a passing or rushing touchdown by him. He is hoping to go on to play football in college, so I'm hoping the rest of his year goes as well as Friday night!

On Saturday, I went to the Fulton County Fair, which is the county over from my hometown. Their fair has the best milkshakes I've ever had, so I was happy I was able to get one again! I also had a sausage sandwich from a local vendor and fries that were both good as well. I saw some people that I knew from my church there, so I was able to catch up with them and tell them how my first week of classes went.

Then, on Sunday afternoon before I went to the concert, I worked the men's and women's soccer games. My freshman and sophomore years I filmed the games for the livestream, but this year I am doing the live stats during the game. I also did live stats for softball last semester, and it involves more than just keeping the stats during the games. I also have to make the game programs before the game and write the game recap after the games are over. It is a pretty substantial time commitment, and it will be more difficult this semester because my classes have a bigger workload, but I really enjoy doing it.

Monday I was able to sleep in and get some homework done, but a majority of my day was spent relaxing before Week 2 of classes started. My long weekend was fun, but now it's back to reality.

    Hey! At least your concert didn't get rained out lol! I would love to see Pitbull in concert, I bet it truly was a blast! And hey, my little brother is Jacob and in football as well! Although he's only 10, so it's more funny than anything watching him run around the field with a helmet that makes him look like a bobble head.

Halloweekend!

Image
I had been looking forward to this weekend for a while and it finally came, Halloweekend! Halloween isn't my favorite holiday but I still love being able to dress up and have fun. One of my favorite parts about Halloween is seeing everyone else's costumes, because some people come up with funny ones. This year, my friend and I decided to go as Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Boothe! I saw the idea on TikTok last year, so we have had this planned for a year now. I think it's so funny, so I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time! My weekend started off slow on Friday night, I just hung out in my apartment with my friend and watched some movies. Saturday, I worked the men's soccer game. It was a very exciting game because it was close the whole time but we scored with just a minute left to win! And the same guy scored all three of our goals for a hat trick, so it was really cool! After the game, I wrote the game recap for the men's and women's ga...

Thanksgiving Break

Image
I feel like I have been going nonstop since the start of the semester, so Thanksgiving break was a much-needed time to relax and not worry about classes or work for a while! Over the break, I was able to travel to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with my friend, Kennedy, and her dad, Tim, to visit Tim's aunt and uncle, Joyce and Jerry. I also went to Hilton Head with her over spring break last semester, so it was nice to go back! Tuesday, we spent the whole day driving. We left at 6 a.m. and didn't get to their house until 9 p.m. because there was a lot of traffic. When we got there, Joyce had made us chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese, so we caught up with them while we were eating. Since we woke up early that morning and had spent all day in the car, I slept so good that night and didn't wake up until 10:30 Wednesday morning. Wednesday after we got ready, we rode their bikes to Duck Donuts, which has the best donuts I've ever had. I'm not a huge fan of donut...

A Family-Filled Weekend

Image
This weekend was much needed, not only because I got a break from classes and homework but also because I was able to see family that I haven't seen in a long time! I am one of the youngest on both sides of my family, so many of my aunts, uncles and cousins have moved away from the area, so it's always nice when we can get together again! My weekend started off busy, having to work both Friday and Saturday. Friday night, I worked the home women's basketball game, which was the first of the season. Basketball is my favorite sport, so I'm glad it's finally basketball season again! ONU won 77-49, so it was a great game to work! After the game, my roommate and I watched a couple episodes of "Friends" before calling it a night. Saturday afternoon I worked the women's soccer OAC Finals game. ONU won, which means they are OAC Champions and have an automatic bid into the NCAA III Tournament! The men's soccer team didn't earn an automatic bid into the N...
