Week 8: Finally Sweater Weather

Fall break was wonderful. I was productive, and I got to relax and spend time with my family. I started my break by heading out of Ada around 10:30 am since it's only a one-and-a-half-hour drive home. During the drive, I was of course listening to the new Taylor Swift album, The Life of a Showgirl. 

Once I got home and got some coffee, I went to pick up my friend from her house. We got to hang out all day and catch up on what is happening in each other's lives. 

Saturday was my productive day of the break. My mom and I decided that my room and closet were out of control, and normally I wouldn't agree, but this time I did easily agree. We deep-cleaned the entire room and closet, including vacuuming, dusting, and quite literally took everything I owned out of my room to figure out how we should organize my space, and it only in the end took about three hours, which I would say isn't too bad. 

On Saturday, I was also able to get some errands done, which felt nice to complete since a lot of the errands I needed to do were things around my hometown. 

While on fall break, my family made all the food that they know I love, which is super sweet since they know I miss it. We had a baked Vodka Pasta, Sushi (well, crab rangoons for me since I can't eat anything with seafood that could be raw or not cooked all the way due to my transplant) and then one night we did breakfast for dinner which is a throwback to my childhood because every Wednesday we called it Wacky Wednesday based off the Dr. Seuss book so we had waffles one night. 

Another thing that was great about fall break was the lowering temperatures outside compared to what it has been. I am finally able to wear sweatshirts and sweaters without getting overheated, which is one of my favorite parts of fall.

Overall, I had a pretty good fall break, and I hope everyone else did as well!

    It sounds like you had a great fall break at home! I love having breakfast for dinner, somehow it's more enjoyable in the evening haha. I am also so excited that the temperature is getting lower, right now is the perfect conditions for sweatpants and a hoodie to class.

    It seems like you had a wonderful Fall Break! I am so glad you were able to relax and spend some time with your family at home. There is nothing better that homemade food after eating on your own at school. You also cant' beat the amazing weather we had!

    Cleaning over fall break is my demise. Same with any other break! I see it as a break so I totally just leave my room a mess until I finally give up and realize it needs to be cleaned.

Week 1: Welcome Back To School (Senior Year Edition)

Image
Welcome back to All In With Althea! I honestly missed being able to update this blog; it's like a visual diary, and I love being able to share my life in this way!  My first week back has been hectic to say the least!  I started out by moving in last Tuesday for Klondike's Crew to help move in the new freshmen here at ONU. After that, I immediately got sick with a fever that night (thanks, chronic illness), but that's nothing I couldn't handle, even though it did still suck. I then just rested up and was back to “better” by Friday. Then, throughout the rest of the week, I was able to adjust back to campus life and get on a consistent schedule. I then had a very busy Sunday. I first went to the Welcome Fest, where all the campus organizations and clubs attend to recruit new members, and I helped out at the Art Club for my friend, since we are working on reviving the club. Later Sunday night, we as a Greek community at Ohio Northern came together to hold Greekpalooza, wh...

Chapter #7: Silly Snapchat

Image
Chapter #7:      Snapchat is widely known especially among Generation Z. It is rare if someone around my age doesn't use Snapchat. Snapchat is a photo messaging app where you can send photos back and forth with friends and family or post them to your story for your followers to see what you may be up to. In the graph shown in the book, it shows that from the 1st quarter of 2024 to the 1st quarter of 2022 the number of active daily users has had a steady increase each quarter of the year.     Within the statistics of Snapchat, the most used age is what I expected which ranges from 18 to 24. But the users of men and women are almost the same which is rare for almost the same amount which is 51% of females to 49% of males. When looking at the other stats I was surprised to see the amount of users in each country and how India surpasses the United States. I also found that on Advererage the typical Snapchat user only spends about 21 minutes a day on Snapchat an aver...

Chapter #6: Twitter... I mean X

Image
Chapter #6:     X is more commonly known as its former name Twitter whereas X was created by Elon Musk after he bought Twitter back in July of 2023. I know that it is popular but I haven't even opened the app since I was told to download it in my high school journalism class.      X allows users to share a post with less than 280 characters and images if they choose to do so. Today X has over 368 million monthly users that send over 6,000 posts every second. X's original purpose was for friends to communicate. Now it is a worldwide social networking site. People go to X now for daily news, sports, and politics.       Marketing with X is key. It allows the brand or company to have a voice and gives them the opportunity to engage with customers and followers more easily compared to other platforms.       I nfluencers are a major part of marketing in 2024. Even on X, they use influencers for marketing and advertising.   ...
