Mud Volleyball & Senior Capstone Kickoff

-

Hey there, blogging world - this week has flown by! So fast that I managed to forget to write my blog post for this week... Hopefully, I will do better next week, and I will be back in the swing of things.

I tried something new this weekend! At the beginning of each school year at ONU, the freshmen residence hall hosts a mud volleyball tournament. Every year I have been so hesitant to participate that I have never played. However, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a senior and I only have one more chance to participate in all of the fun things that I haven't done in the past few years here. So, I finally played mud volleyball this past weekend! The people on the track team that wanted to play were split up into three randomized teams. My team was half upperclassmen and the other half freshmen. It was such a fun way to get to know a few of our new teammates. My team actually ended up playing really well too! We won almost every game without going through a full serving rotation, which means that I didn't have to serve until the last two or three games that we played. We also made it into the final round but ended up in third place. All in all, it was a super fun day in the sun with my teammates and I wish that I wasn't such a chicken and played the last three years!

This week marked the beginning of our capstone project. All of the marketing majors are working with Marathon Petroleum as our client. Naturally, I am a little nervous about this project, but I'm also excited! There is going to be a lot of research and work to be done, but this will be such a good experience no matter where I'll end up after graduation. 

Today, we went to their headquarters in Findlay, Ohio to finally meet our clients, tour their campus and performing arts center, and experience downtown. I spent a little too much time getting ready and looking over information for today, which is how I ended up forgetting to write my blog post. However, I wouldn't have had as many things to write about. I'm not sure how much information I'm allowed to put out onto the internet about our project so I'm going to keep it at that until I know more.

See you next week, before the due date!

Week 10

Hello fellow bloggers! I have some big news... I bought three fish! This was a very impulsive decision, but I thought it would be fun to have some apartment-friendly pets. I ended up in the pet store because one of my friends wanted to get some fish, but she decided against it, and I decided I was going to get a few of the 16-cent goldfish.  I'm not expecting them to last forever solely based off of their price, but their purpose is to just provide a little bit of happiness for however long they live. They still don't have any names, so if you have any ideas feel free to drop them in the comments. We haven't had a track meet in two weeks and somehow, I'm more exhausted without them. We were supposed to have a track meet this weekend, but they ended up canceling it due to the weather. So, in lieu of a track meet, our coaches had us do an intra-squad mixed-gender relay race. We were broken up into groups for a 4x200 meter, 30-lap, and 5x400 meter relay races. We were all

Busy Weekend in Ada

Hey there, fellow bloggers - I had a super busy weekend again!  Friday night was super exciting... my boyfriend and I caught up on homework. But since we were able to do this, we had more time this weekend to do some fun things! There were a bunch of sporting events for me to take pictures at this weekend. I took pictures at the football game on Saturday and the tennis match Sunday morning. The football team played Mount Union, which is usually very good at football. We ended up losing the game, but I still got some really cool pictures for the website! Saturday night, my roommate and I finally got to finish an art project that we've been planning since probably the start of the semester! We saw the idea on Tik Tok to put plaster or spackle all over a canvas and take a tool that would make a kind of like ribbed pattern. We mostly made arches or half circles with the tool. We had to wait for that to dry overnight, but we planned on painting the patterns to make them pop out even mo

Fall Break Update

Bloggers, this past weekend was a long one! ONU had their fall break this weekend and I was able to go home for a few days. I went almost everywhere I could think of over break.  Of course, I had to hit all of the staple Brookville spots. On Saturday, I spent almost the whole day with my brother's girlfriend, Josie. First, we went to Coffee On Main, the local coffee shop, then we headed to Canal Days in Metamora. Metamora was a stop along the Whitewater Canal, back in the old days, but in today's world, they are more of a tourist location. There are a few permanent shops in the town that primarily sell handmade goods year-round. However, every year on the first weekend of October they have a festival where the shops as well as other vendors who handmake goods and food trucks set up for the long weekend. So many people from near and far travel to Metamora every year to get ahead on their Christmas shopping, or they go just to shop! Josie and I walked around almost all day and ev
