Fall Break

Fall Break finally came...and went. Way too fast I might add. It seemed like I was home and then back at college in the blink of an eye. Regardless of how short it was, it was still an enjoyable time. I wasn't able to go home on Friday after class because I had to work on Saturday, which was disappointing but I still made the most of my night. After class, I had lunch with my friend at Tavern 101 and hung out with her until she left. Then I went back to my apartment, showered and watched about eight hours' worth of "Friends" episodes.

On Saturday, I worked the men's soccer game doing the live stats. We won 6-0, so it was a great game! Then, I wrote the game recaps for the men's and women's games before heading home for the rest of the break. When I got home, we left right away to go to my little brother's football game, where they lost unfortunately. After the game, I went to my best friend's house to spend the night because Saturday was her birthday! On Sunday, I took her out for lunch to our favorite restaurant and got ice cream after. Later Sunday night, a group of people from my church got together at my pastor's house to have supper. We had cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips and a lot of desserts. My mom made a Caramel Apple Dump Cake, which she has never made before but it was amazing!

Monday and Tuesday I was able to sleep in and I didn't do much of anything during the day. My sister was also on fall break, so I just hung out with her and watched some movies. She has the whole week off though, so I wasn't very happy when I had to come back and she was still at home. When I got back to campus Tuesday night, I got Taco Bell for supper then went over to my friend's dorm to watch Dancing with the Stars. This is the first time I have watched a season from the beginning and I love it! None of the couples that I like have gotten eliminated yet so I'm hoping they stay on for a while longer!

    That sounds like a lot of fun!! It sucks that this break went by so quickly, but I’m glad you at least got to see your best friend. And I hope she had a happy birthday, that was very nice of you to take her out to lunch! On Monday and Tuesday I did the same thing as you and mostly slept in and laid around, I didn’t have energy to really do anything else. But I’m glad your break seemed to have gone well!

    Time really does fly on weekends and breaks! As a member of the soccer team, I want to thank you for your help with live stats and game recaps. It sounds like you spent a lot of your time enjoying movies and TV shows, which is a great way to relax. I'm glad you were still able to do so much, even though you didn’t get home until Saturday evening!

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...
