Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break as a college student is very different from being in high school. Being a college student over break is even better! In high school, it is only a few short days off and you are already home with your friends and family. In college, there is a week and you can go back home and visit with friends and family you haven’t seen for a while and that helped me to appreciate the time even more.

This Thanksgiving break was exciting! Monday, we started to decorate for Christmas and were relaxing as well! On Tuesday, my mom hit a deer with her car when she was headed to work. She was okay, but the car is a little bent and smashed. I got to watch and learn from my dad on how to file an insurance claim. Adulting, am I right?!? Wednesday, we also finished up decorating and upon moving boxes, we found a nest that squirrels had made in our attic. Also, on Wednesday, we realized our pipes were backed up and there were a few inches of water in our basement! Our friends and family have coined the phrase “Hoffman Happenings,” and that phrase is used in times like these.
Turkey day Thursday! Many Thanksgivings we host, but we decided to switch it up this year. For this Thanksgiving, my family and I traveled from Marion to Hillard to go to my aunt and uncles. It is never a dull moment when we all get together!

The weekend began and we finished decorating and watched some football. The holidays are more meaningful to me now that I am a college student because it is valuable time with my parents and being back home!
Breaks can always be longer, but Christmas is coming up!
How was your Thanksgiving break? Anything crazy happen? Any family traditions that are upheld from year to year?

    It sounds like you had a very eventful Thanksgiving break. I think its cool to have a saying like Hoffman Happenings and it sounds like it fits perfectly for break. I definitely agree that holidays are more appreciated in college after being apart from family for a long time.

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 ...
