Life is Full of Experiences

This past weekend I had a new experience of going with my friends to the lacrosse scrimmage here at Ohio Northern. I had never been to a lacrosse scrimmage or game before. After watching I had so many questions pertaining to the sport and how the game was played. By simply watching others do something they love I had a whole new perspective of a very popular game played by many.

Being opened to this new experience made me truly understand the purpose of moving away and going to college. The purpose of college is all about experiencing new things and finding new interests. Lacrosse was just one of the many things I have been introduced to while at Ohio Northern. Although I don’t ever plan on playing lacrosse it was still great to learn the sport and learn about someone else’s passion. In the long run learning about others’ interests will help you to relate and find common ground. I can’t help but think about all the new experiences waiting for me in the future and how some will even impact my life.
I challenge each of you to go and try something new or gain a new experience. I promise you won’t regret it. If you have experienced something new here at Ohio Northern please share. I would love to learn about your experiences and potentially experience them for myself.

    I went to this as well and it was my first lacrosse experience too! I had no clue what was going on half of the time. It is so great that you are getting out there and trying new things and new experiences even if it's just something like a lacrosse game. Learning about other's interests is fascinating I agree, and I'm glad you had a good time there! Thanks for sharing!

    I was not able to go to the lacrosse scrimmage, sadly. But I do love the sport. My dad tried to get me to play it and it, but it wasn't for me. It was a great new experience. Since I am in my last semester, I am trying to remember all of the experiences that were new to me when I came to Northern. Some of them made an impact, some were just hilarious memories. Thanks for the post.

Joys of Being Home

Image
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 sha...

Spring Has Sprung!

Image
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

Image
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...
