Polar Bear Pals Forever

Many say that you do not have the opportunity to meet life long friends right away in college. I do not believe that to be very accurate, I have met great friends, and their names are Kate and Shay! I initially met them over the freshman Facebook page of Ohio Northern, and we mutually followed each other on other social media platforms. Once we got on campus, we hit it off and became friends almost immediately. I formally introduced them to each other and introduced them to my twin sister, and we have been an unstoppable group ever since. Our favorite activities so far included: Movie nights, attempting to eat meals together as all of our schedules are different and going to many events and activities on campus! We all have the same wild personality but also know when it is time to work and get business done.
Kate is a Musical Theater and History Education double major with the hopes of performing for a while than settling down and beginning her teaching career!
Shay is a Music Education Major with her emphasis on vocal with the hopes to teach at a school and run their music department.
My twin Andrea is a Political Science and History double major with the hope of going into state or national government!
Yes, it is practically the third week of college, but I have found some astounding life long and amazing friends!

    Alyson,
    I thought to same exact thing coming in my freshmen year. I figured well I'm from out of state, they're going to think I'm weird or different so maybe I won't make friends as easy. I took the advice of my RA who said "Try this, leave your door open, smile, and instead of walking past new people with your head down, look up and say 'hey'."This proved to be very effective as I met some of my best friends even now in my junior year not long after. College has a funny way of connecting us to the right people and although we didn't know them all our lives, the short time in college makes us feel as if we do.

Can I be Klondike?

Being Klondike, the mascot here at Ohio Northern, is a big deal! It is a huge reveal when the persons who are Klondike graduate or end their Klondike careers. I have heard and have seen many pictures of the head reveal, and it is an exciting event for everyone. I happen to have a background as a mascot, and the hope to be Klondike one day is there. In my senior year of high school, no one was able to be our high school's mascot, Sparty the Spartan. There was one basketball game, and the opposing school had brought their mascot the Colt. I turned to my sister and our best friend Grace and said where's Sparty? I then ran over to my principal, who is a dear family friend to ask where Sparty was and that I wanted to be Sparty for the game. He laughed, and we went to get the outfit. This was a spur of the moment, but knowing how fun I am, this wasn't surprising to many. Let me preface that the costume had just been dry cleaned, and I am 5'3. The outfit was a little bit b...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

  For my final blog post, I had this big thank you letter written to Aggie but accidentally deleted it. So now I am going to write something a little bit more exciting! The holidays!!! December has a lot of fun days coming up!!   For starters it is Christmastime so listening to Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do in the car and studying for exams. During December there are a few other celebrations. My twin, Andrea and I are celebrating our 21 st birthday on Dec.20 and my mom’s birthday is Dec.26! Those will be great celebrations with a lot of adult beverages.   I am a huge fan of traditions or yearly events especially during the holiday season.One of the things my family does is drive around the neighborhood or a light display and see all the pretty lights and set ups. I went with Zach and a couple of friends this past weekend to the Upper Sandusky lights! They did not disappoint. I am looking forward to seeing new light displays in our new neighborhoo...

So Long Spooky Season

    So Long Spooky Season             This past weekend was Halloween!! Friday night was a girls night! A group of friends and I went to two events on campus. The first was called A Haunted Walk sponsored by the student planning committee (SPC). This occurred out by the sand volleyball courts and we walked along the green monsters with spooky stores shared along the way. It was a good event, I would have loved to see it even more interactive but happy it was short as it was cold and rainy. The second event was Haunted Hill Sponsored by a Fraternity and History group on campus. It was a little spooky if I’m being honest. Friday night was a great time!             On Saturday My boyfriend Zach and I had a great time! We worked Admissions in the morning, then I went to the ONU volleyball game (which ONU won) and then I took a nap. Zach was on call so he stayed in his ...
