All in with Althea

Something you may not know about me is that I'm a big birthday person. I love my birthday, celebrating other people's birthdays, and giving birthday gifts. Basically, birthdays are my jam. I just love it all. Well, anyway, as mentioned in the title of this week's post, it's “My Taylor Swift Year,” meaning in pop culture, fans of Taylor Swift and others have basically coined the term based on her song called “22,” and wouldn't ...

I am so tired, actually, scratch that, I am EXHAUSTED. I know I sound dramatic, but recruitment took everything out of me. It also doesn't help that once again, I got sick at some point during this time. As mentioned several times throughout my blogging journey, I am no stranger to not feeling 100% healthy a lot of the time. I swear it's from a million combinations of potential answers, but meeting so many new people and being constantly surrounded by people, not only in class but also in the recruitment, my immune system was bound to become overwhelmed.  Besides getting sick, recruitment was so much fun! I got to meet and talk to so many amazing people throughout this recruitment season. I love the ONU Greek life community so much, and every girl I've met is so sweet.  Getting sick wasn't the only thing that went wrong for me because that's just my luck. If you know anything about me, I am the most clumsy and uncoordinated person ever! Saturday morning, I was walki...

Hey, I hope you all have had a great week! This past week has been crazy for me, as I've said the last two weeks, and it looks like it'll be that way for a little while longer. I really don't want to complain, though, since I know at this time next year I'll most likely be missing these moments that I'm currently living. That being said, my goal, as I may have mentioned previously, is to really make the most of this last year at Ohio Northern. This has included me joining three new clubs, PRSSA, Delight, and, as mentioned before, the art club. I know this probably sounds crazy, but I thrive off being busy, and my thought is, when will I ever get to be a part of any of this again, so I'm going for it.  My school update of the week is that we started our Social Media Strategies and Campaigns group project. After the clients' presentations, we were asked to rank them in order of our wanting to work with them. I was fortunate enough to receive my top choice, a c...

As the fall semester starts, there are many opportunities to join new clubs and organizations, and sorority recruitment is my personal favorite.  I personally love it because to me it gets me out talking to new people and learning about others, which I wouldn't normally do. If you're not familiar with our sorority recruitment works or how it works here at ONU, I will break it down. Rush here consists of three nights of going to different houses and talking to the girls already in the sorority. The three rounds consist of Philanthropy, Sisterhood, and Preference rounds in that order. Philanthropy round is the most chill of the three formal nights; each chapter shows a video about their national philanthropy, and it's a good night to start getting to know the PNMS (Potential New Members) as they all make their way to each of the four houses, whereas the next two nights get more serious as both the PNMs and sororities drop each other and figure out where they see themselves fo...
