New Year, Same Me

Guess who is back at blogging? 

I know I left off the last semester with a farewell and pretty much insinuating that I wouldn't be returning, but here I am! As it turns out, I will be continuing my weekly blogs throughout this semester for my Social Media Strategies and Campaigns class. I am excited to take you guys along this journey as I head into my second to last semester of college.

Second to last semester? Wow, that's crazy to say. It honestly feels like I just started at ONU a few months ago. The time has really flown by!

When I first started my college journey, I was a very quiet and nervous freshman who didn't know how to get her name out there. I was kind of slow at getting involved in extracurriculars, and I didn't go out of my comfort zone too often. Once the second semester of freshman year hit, I knew that I needed to be a lot more bold and adventurous if I wanted to make the most out of my college experience. I took more risks when it came to putting myself out there, and I got involved in so many more extracurriculars.

Throughout this journey, I have met so many people who have become some of my closest friends. I have  tried so many new things that I never thought I would be able to experience and I feel proud of the person that I have become. Looking back, I know that freshman me would be shocked to see where I am today. Now the only sad part of all this is that  all of this will be coming to an end in only a few months.

With the one remaining year that I have left at Ohio Northern University, I want to make the most of it. I'm going to try to go to as many events as I can and learn as much as I can from all of my classes. I want to strengthen the friendships I have with my peers and make new friends along the way. In the future, I want to look back on my college experience with no regrets. 

I know these goals don't seem very specific, but I think I am going to just take every opportunity as it comes. I don't know what is available for me this year, but I am open to the idea of trying new things. Whatever my adventure looks like this semester, I will be ready for it.

Thank you for following my blogging journey again! My social media class looks very interesting this semester, and I am excited for all of the projects we are going to be working on. Stay tuned to learn more about what that's all about.

As I said earlier, I will be posting a new blog every week, so be sure to check out my page and leave a comment so I know that you are there! 

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...
