A Weekend All Over Ohio

This weekend was a busy one for me because I had to travel all over Ohio. In the span of two days, I traveled from Ohio Northern to my hometown, Stryker, which is an hour-and-a-half north, back to ONU, then to Dayton Sunday for a Club Softball game. It was tiring but I had a lot of fun, so it was all worth it!

Saturday I was able to sleep in, which was nice after a busy week of work and classes. After relaxing for a while watching "Friends," I went to work the women's soccer game. It was a close game but we ended up losing 2-1. After the game was over and I finished the game recap, I left right away to go home for my brother's football game because it was his senior night. The game was moved from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m., meaning I had less time to get home. I got home just before 5 p.m. so I only had a couple minutes to change before heading up to the football field to make sure we got good seats.

Senior night was really weird because I definitely do not think of my brother as being a senior. I still see him as this little boy (even though he's taller than me now) so I think there's no way he should be graduating high school soon. Either way, senior night went well, but they ended up losing the game. They started off playing well, so it was really disappointing for them. 

Saturday night, I spent the night at my house before waking up early Sunday morning to drive back to Ohio Northern. I'm not a big fan of driving at night, plus I wanted to spend more than a couple hours with my family, so I decided to just drive back in the morning. When I got back, I picked up my friend for our Club Softball game then headed straight to Dayton. I played in the first game of the doubleheader at third base, which I've been playing my whole life. Both games were close and we ended up losing both but it was still a fun day. After the games, me and my friend went to Chili's for supper before heading back to ONU.

When we got back to campus, I immediately took a shower and changed into my pajamas. It was still early, so I did some homework before getting in bed for the night. I was really tired, so I ended up going to bed at 9 p.m. so I could get plenty of sleep for another busy week!

    This sounds like such a good weekend! It is always good to make time to go home to see your family, as I try to do this every couple weeks or so! As the youngest child, I was always the one where my siblings would come back from school to see all my sporting and important events. I bet your little brother appreciated you driving back for his senior night! Lastly, even though the outcome of the softball games may of been not what you wanted, a day playing a sport you love is always rewarding.

    That was definitely a busy weekend! I’m going to be having about the same busy weekend as you here soon! My little sister is turning 7 this weekend so I will be driving close to 2 and a half hours east towards the Akron-Canton area. And then I’ll have to drive back super early Sunday morning in order to make it Lima in time for work! I’m glad you were able to support your brother for his senior night game, even though they didn’t win I’m sure it meant a lot to your brother that you showed up.

    Wow, you were definitely busy this past weekend. It sounds like you had the perfect combination of staying busy and having fun between softball and your brother's senior night. It's crazy how fast time goes when you are watching a younger sibling grow up. I'm sure he just appreciated you being there to support him even though his game didn't go as planned it was still a memory he'll remember.

    It sounds like you had quite an eventful weekend! Traveling across Ohio, attending your brother's senior night, and playing in a doubleheader must have been exhausting but also rewarding. It’s great that you got to spend time with your family and support your brother, even though it’s hard to believe he’s already a senior. It’s clear how much you care about him! Hope this week brings a little more rest for you!

Halloweekend!

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

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

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...
