The Adventures Continue

Hello! I hope everyone had an amazing first week of classes and is starting to get acclimated into college life again. It's crazy that we're already almost finished with two weeks of the semester. Time is flying by quickly!

If you’ve ever met me, you’ll know that I always seem to have my Google Calendar booked with meetings and activities I need to be at, and this year is no different. Perhaps what I am most excited for is all of the photography opportunities that I have now. This summer, I was really busy with classes and work, so I was not able to go on any photo shoots or advertise for clients. Now that I'm back on campus, I am able to take pictures at events and at sporting games.  So far, I have been able to take pictures at three different events, and I am so glad to be back in the game! it is been so relaxing for me to be behind the camera again and edit all of these special moments.

One thing that I am really looking forward to this semester is the semester-long project I am going to be working on in my Social Media Strategies and Campaigns class. My peers and I were recently assigned our clients for the semester, and I couldn't be more excited. My team and I are working with Switchbox,  which is a software company.  Based on the pitch one of their representatives gave to our class, I believe there are so many opportunities to learn and grow in the social media and marketing realm. Furthermore, I think this is going to be a great way to gain more knowledge in the business to business industry and network with people in various fields. The project hasn't officially begun yet, so stay tuned for more updates as we get deeper into it. I have a feeling it's going to be amazing.

While it may seem like I am an over-involved student, I am honestly just trying to make the most out of my time here at Ohio Northern. With one last year of college life, I want to make sure I have no regrets.  As an introvert, it is easy for me to just want to stay in my room and be by myself.  I quickly learned that I was missing out on funny experiences that I might never have the opportunity to try again. That has inspired me to keep going to all of these events. Even though I might feel exhausted and overextended right now, I know that in the long run I will be so happy that I did all of this.

As I said in the beginning, the semester is still young! I have done a lot this past week but I am prepared to do a whole lot more in the months to come. Stay tuned to my blog to be updated on all of my adventures. I will be posting new content every week!

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...
