Chapter #8: Pinterest

    What is Pinterest? Pinterest is essentially a digital bulletin board. You can pin anything to any type of board that you can title and categorize how you want. I know that I have been using Pinterest for as long as I can remember. I remember that my mom and I would use to plan fun birthday parties for Ruby and me. I eventually created my own account probably around the time I started middle school. I've used Pinterest on and off for several years. I have used Pinterest for DIYs, arts/crafts, and my baking phase when I was in middle school. I also frequently used Pinterest when prepping for college to see ways to save storage and decorate my future dorm room.

    The demographics of Pinterest were very interesting to see. I figured that app was going to mostly women users but I was surprised when I saw the number. The percentage of women using Pinterest in 2023 was 76.2% compared to men at 17.2%. Another stat that didn't surprise me was the largest age group on Pinterest was the 25-34. I figured that makes the most sense to me due to the top search categories on the app being fashion/beauty, food/recipes, and home decor. I think those top searches fit that age demographic the best. 

    I personally LOVE using Pinterest. I still use it to this day even if it's not super often. I use it now but in some ways, I used it way back in middle school.  I mostly use it for recipes especially now being in college where I don't have the most time and want a simple but tasty dinner I often look to Pinterest for recipes and inspiration. I also used it for room decor ideas when I moved from the freshman dorms to Affinity. 

    Regardless I believe anyone can find inspiration or ideas for a topic they need with Pinterest.

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
