Joys of Being Home

Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice.

While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend!

There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown. 

I am a firm believer in where we come from shapes us into the people we are and where we wish to go. I can’t wait to hear from you!

    Four wheelers look really fun! My dad bought my siblings and I a motor bike when we were younger but my sister crashed it. That being said, I do enjoy riding my regular bike. I have a husky that loves to run, so we will tie her to our bikes and she will pull us down the road. Living in the country is nice. I could spend a whole day sitting on my porch swing, listening to music. I live near a woods so I also have a couple tree swings that are fun if I want to swing higher than the porch swing allows. I am glad you had a nice weekend at home. I'm sure your parents appreciated that you stopped to visit!
    Best, Rachel

    Four-wheeling and a weekend with family and friends sounds amazing right about now. I live in the city so it gets hard to find time to spend out in the country (which I love to do). My best friend and her family own a farm and some land, which I enjoy spending time at. The weather this past weekend would have been perfect for some outdoor adventures. Sadly, I was sick and worked all weekend. When I did get the chance to be outside it made me wish that is was summertime and I was back working on my friends farm. I am glad you got the opportunity to get away from school. I am sure your family and friends enjoyed having you home!

    Honestly this was a nice reminder of my hometown. I'm going to have to be moving soon, so I have to soak up all the wonders of being from the country and a small town before leaving. My favorite thing in the world is to take a walk to our center of town and grab an ice-cream from the place by the railroad tracks. Sadly, they are closed for the winter, but there is still beautiful weather to go out and enjoy. I hope that this weather will keep up so everyone can enjoy being outside while on spring break!

    Going home is one of my favorite ways to relax. I pretty much go home every weekend, partially because I work, but also because that's the place I can de-stress. I don't live in the country, but as a kid I used to go four-wheeling with my bestfriend and it is one of the most fun things to do! When I go home on weekends now I love to visit my dog and my boyfriends dog and take them out for walks if it's warm enough. I'm really hoping the weather stays nice because I am totally over winter weather (and I'm sure everyone else is too).

The End is Near

One of my first blog posts was about why I chose Ohio Northern University to be my home for the next four years of my life. I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. I am not typically one to get very emotional, but there is something about leaving a large piece of you behind and moving on to the next thing. I decided to close out my final blog post with things that I took away from the year as I only have about a week left of my freshman year. Time Moves Faster Than You Think No matter how many pictures were taken, time will only continue forward and it seems to be moving faster. Before you know it college will simply be a small piece of your life with amazing memories that will last you a lifetime. Enjoy each moment while you have it, because time truly does go by fast. You Don’t Have To Be The Same Person You Were in High School Wow, this could not be any truer. This can be who you associate with, the type of grades you get and even clubs or organizations you join

Spring Has Sprung!

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo

Vera Bradley Annual Outlet Sale

Last Thursday I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Not really, but I was on very overjoyed and excited! I went to the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale in Fort Wayne,Indiana with my mom. For those of you that don’t know the Vera Bradley sale is held each year with large amounts of their products on sale. My mom had gone for the past several years and I was always so jealous and wanted to go but I couldn’t miss school because of softball. However, this year was finally my turn to go and experience the craze I had heard so much about. We arrived for our 11 a.m. session at 9:30 a.m. We wanted to make sure we had a decent spot in line to avoid a lot of the madness that was going to follow behind. Also by arriving early we could beat a lot of the long lines at checkout. While waiting in line Vera Bradley had various staff members encouraging us to use their hashtag and post pictures. Of course, my mom and I followed their instructions. There were prizes up for grabs! They al
