A little life update

For the first time since I started this blog series, I have to admit that I have nothing really interesting to share. Crazy, right? I am the kind of person who always has something to say or share, and suddenly having NOTHING to talk about is kind of weird for me.

Just because I have nothing pivotal to say right now does not mean that nothing is happening in my life right now. Rather, there have been a lot of things happening all at once, and I don’t know how to organize all of those things into one, cohesive post. 

One thing that stood out to me the most from this past week is that I officially quit my internship that I have had for the past two and a half years. The decision to quit this internship was very hard on me because I have grown close to all of these people. In fact, this is the first job that I have ever quit before. Up until this point, I've had every single job that I ever started since high school. This was the first time that I had to tell my employers that I would not be returning. 

My current employer hired me as a high school intern for a marketing program that I was in. I then continued to work for them over the summers, and then they offered me to work remotely for them while I was in college. I am beyond grateful for all of the guidance and patience they have given me. Since I still work remotely for them right now, it was difficult to put into words over an email how much they're kindness has meant. Their mentorship will never be forgotten, and I am so glad that they are still hiring new high school interns and making an impact on their careers. 

I know this might seem meaningless to some people, but this was one of the things that stood out to me the most in the past week. I am looking forward to the new adventures that await me at my upcoming internship because I know that there are so many new things to learn. Thank you, readers, for coming along with me on this journey. I hope that reading about my experiences not only brings you entertainment every week, but also helps you learn about the experiences of others. 

See you next time, 

Evie

Practicing My Craft

With all of the craziness that you have seen me blog about these past couple of weeks, I'm sure you are probably expecting an interesting blog I can. I have bad news to tell you. Nothing interesting has happened to me this past week. At least nothing exciting enough for me to share on this blog.  This isn't to say that I've just been sitting around in my dorm room for the past week,  being bored to death. I have been extremely busy with school work and  keeping up with my jobs. In fact, it's been a little bit overwhelming to keep track of everything. I've been trying to relax and have some down time so that I don't completely overwhelm myself with stress. I guess one piece of good news is that I recently learned that I only need to take 15 credit hours next semester. I have been doing 19 credit hours pretty much every semester here, so it'll be nice to just be able to relax and enjoy my final semester at Ohio Northern. Besides, I am probably going to be work...

Thanksgiving Break Festivities

Here we are, getting back in the regular school routine again! It seems like Thanksgiving Break went by way too quickly. I am not ready for school again, nor the end of the semester. It is crazy how the weeks go by so slowly while the semester just flew by.  Overall, the Thanksgiving holiday was very nice. It was pretty quiet since my grandfather was the only family member we hosted. I did a good amount of the cooking and baking this year with my mom. I am not really good in the kitchen, but practice makes perfect! My mom says that the only way to learn how to cook is by continuing to do it. I am honestly not sure how much of a help I truly was, maybe more of a hindrance, but my mom was incredibly patient with me. She showed me how to prepare all the meals and make sure all the consistencies and measurements were correct. A good amount of what my mom does is from memory or learned by experience; there isn’t exactly an exact recipe to follow for some of these things. In the end, the...

A Quick Weekend Trip

I decided to take an unplanned trip home this weekend. this probably doesn't seem like a big deal, and I'm sure that people do this all the time. For me, however, this is quite uncommon. This is actually the first time that I have gone home on my own when there wasn't any formal break. This is my first semester having a car on campus so I have never had the flexibility to do this before. It was honestly a lot of fun to make such a spur of the moment decision. Going home was not without purpose though. First, my family had a nice Halloween bonfire in our backyard. It was just my siblings and my parents, but it was fun to play some cheesy Halloween songs and drink apple cider on our back porch. Well, I did not drink  much of the apple cider because I may or may not have spilled it all over myself when I tripped. Another reason why I went home was because I needed to vote. I honestly forgot about absentee voting, but I prefer to go in person anyways. This was a pretty big elec...
