Week 4: A Reset Week

    Another week here at Ohio Northern and it's much more chill compared to the last few weeks. I've been working on a lot of schoolwork these past few days. Along with that I am also currently prepping for my younger sister Ruby to come visit this weekend.

    I definitely didn't expect prepping for my sister to visit would take as much time as it has. Cleaning, laundry, making a food plan, and figuring out what to do. Now I know how my mom must feel when we have visitors at home. I just want my sister to have fun and get a feel for college while she starts to look at colleges as a soon-to-be High School senior. 

    Although Ruby has made it very clear she does not want to go to school here at Ohio Northern I've learned to give up my hope of her joining me here. I get it though we're both different people and it'll be good for both of us to get away and experience college by ourselves. I definitely will miss being around her though and hopefully, she feels the same way that I do.  




    Ruby and I luckily have many similar interests that help make us close. When she first looked at what kind of organizations she wanted to join when getting to High School she of course had to pick the one thing I was already involved in, Liberty Theter Workshop aka our theater program. I was adamant I didn't want her to join me and all my friends. But really I had no choice as I was gonna graduate school in the spring anyway. She ended up loving theater as much as I did so we got to bond over working on stage crew together. I know that my sister and I are extremely lucky to be close and to resume how close we are when I leave each time I come back from Northern. I am again so lucky to have a built-in best friend whether she would agree with me or not.

Picture of Ruby I took when we went to see Trolls Band Together this past Thanksgiving.


    Even though we are both set on different paths soon I know that we will both always be in each other's lives regardless. I know you are going to be probably reading this Ruby so hi and please don't think this is to cheesy and love you.

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
