Homecoming Week 2021

 

It’s the time of year where Ada turns orange and black and the parade marches down Main Street. This year is extraordinary as ONU is celebrating its 150th birthday!! 150 years of “Go Bears”!!

With COVID-19, there was not a parade last year, so this will be my third homecoming, but my second parade and I am pumped! During the parade, I will be helping with the alumni office and will be on the parade route. After the parade, I will be helping the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)’s at the activities tent then headed to the football game. My boyfriend Zach is on the homecoming court with one of his good pharmacy friends, so I will be cheering them on with my pom-poms. There are many other events throughout the weekend as well.

When looking at the Ohio Northern website, it says this about the other public events, which will include:

• Heterick Memorial Library will host “Home Sweet Home: Engaging with Our ONU History” Oct. 2. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the library will offer opportunities to engage with selected materials from its archives that reflect ONU’s unique and rich history.

• Also Oct. 2, Raabe College of Pharmacy’s HealthWise Mobile Clinic will offer tours from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the tundra between King Horn Sports Center and the Biggs Building. The mobile clinic offers a variety of free health care services to regional residents and this past spring served as a state-sponsored COVID-19 vaccination mobile clinic throughout a six-county area.

• The musical “Beauty and the Beast” will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts, Biggs Theatre. To buy tickets in advance, visit the Freed Center website. Performances will also be held Oct. 14-17.

• On Oct. 2, the women’s tennis team will play Concordia University at 12:30 p.m. at the University tennis courts. The team will also compete against Muskingum University at 4:30 p.m.

• The campus community will enjoy Saturday afternoon activities on the Tundra and at the sports center with an activities tent, inflatables, a tailgate party and lunch.

I am very excited to celebrate a place and community that is near and dear to my heart. Stay tuned to next weeks blog to hear about how all the events went. For now, Go Bears and happy birthday ONU!

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 ...
