Welcome and Intro Post

    Hello all! Welcome to my blog All in with Althea. I'm Althea Pleasants and this blog will be a little sneak peek into my life including anything I feel like sharing. Today I thought I would just share a bit about myself. As previously mentioned I'm Althea and I am a sophomore at Ohio Northern University. At Ohio Northern, I am currently Studying Communications, Marketing, and Social Media. In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends and family, shop, watch reality TV, and watch live theater. 



    As I grew up I never knew what I wanted to do in my future until I discovered Ohio Northern. I knew that I wanted to do something creative like some journalism classes I took in High School while also joining the yearbook team. I then figured I wanted to work in a similar field with less writing since it's not my strongest skill. Which all lead me to the field of Communications. Which yet again let me discover the minors of Social Media and Marketing that I have now picked up. 






    I also am a member of a few organizations here at ONU and elsewhere. First and foremost I am a member of the Zeta Sigma chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. I'm also the newly elected Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for my chapter. Along with that, I am also involved with another Greek Organization called Alpha Phi Omega which is a national co-ed service fraternity that I joined this past fall. I also am a general member of the Student Planning Committee which focuses on planning free events on campus. 










    Outside of school I also am a volunteer for a few service organizations. I am currently active as a Lifeline of Ohio Ambassador with my mom, sister, and grandma. Lifeline of Ohio is what is called an organ procurement organization which is a smaller version of UNOS, the United Network of Organ Sharing. An organ procurement organization is a non-profit that is responsible for recovering organs from deceased donors for transplantation in the United States. Along with being involved in the transplant world, I am also currently a Peer Mentor for Nationwide Children's Hospital for the Liver and Gastrology department to help parents and their kids. 




Well, I hope that you enjoy my blog and I can I can't wait to keep sharing with you all. See you all soon with All in with Althea.

    I had no idea that we both had the same minor! That is so exciting! That's so cool that you love live theatre. Have you seen some of the shows here at ONU? We should definitely go see some shows together sometime. I would love that. Also, I will be in the upcoming musical, 9 to 5, here at ONU. You should go see that! I am also so excited for you to serve as the VP of DEI in Theta, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things you do in that role.

Week 14: Wrapping Things Up...or So I Thought

Image
     As the semester starts to end like anyone else, I'm looking forward to the summer. I know that it'll be nice to have a break from academics and to work for some money to use the following school year.       Everything has mostly been fine since I got back last Friday. As mentioned I was able to make it to the Greek Olympics. But then my nurse and doctor called me the following Thursday saying some of my typical bloodwork results were not looking so good. So alas I packed up and left Ada again. Thankfully this time I didn't have to be admitted through the emergency department and was able to have my doctors directly admit me which relieved some stress.       Pretty much as soon as I got to the floor they started taking a lot of my blood to run various tests. I also have been attached to fluids to make sure I'm hydrated but walking around with an IV pole is harder than you would think. I have also been taking many additional medications to rule out some issues.

Week 2: Thinking Theta

Image
     Once again it is another dreary week here at Ohio Northern but that's not stopping me from having a great week. If there is one thing about me I love being busy and this week is definitely that. I have several things to do this week. Starting out the week on Sunday with several hours of various assignments for the development of Kappa Alpha Theta. I really LOVE having a position in my sorority. It really has not only gotten me more involved but also helped me to better the chapter. I currently hold the position of the VP of DEI. It turns out that I like it more than I originally thought I would when I was applying to hold an executive position.     Having this position means so much to me as I worked very hard my first year to be able to have the opportunity to hold a position. Over the summer as a new freshman out of my first year of college, I also had the opportunity to attend the Kappa Alpha Theta's National Emerging Leaders Conference. I originally only applied for th

Week 5: Ruby at Northern Recap

Image
     Over this past weekend, my sister drove up to Northern and we had a BLAST! She happened to have a long weekend for Presidents Day so I asked her to come visit me.       As she starts to now look at colleges as a junior in High School I wanted to show her what an average weekend in college looks like for me.       She drove up early Friday afternoon due to the snow starting. Once she got here we first unloaded her car because I had her bring me some groceries from home. Once we did that we moved her car to the visitor lot and got an early dinner at WOW because again I wanted Ruby to really get the collage feel.  We pretty much just hung out around my room and the Theta house over the weekend especially since it was FREEZING and snowing. She of course ended up getting the worst weather of the season while being here. The weather definitely gave her that Northern feel and I think gave her some insight into the college reality. While she was here I also of course took her to MAC so sh
