Campus Fun

 As we are heading into the heart of the semester different activities and events are starting to pop back up. It seems like I am getting emails every five seconds from different fraternities, sororities, and campus student organizations inviting me to come to their events. For example, for one of my sport management classes, I get to attend a dodgeball tournament and complete that as one of my assignments. I think this is a cool way to interact with different people on campus and have some fun too. Due to Covid last year many of these events were cancelled or turned virtual which wasn't ideal. With Covid restrictions relaxing a little bit it is awesome to see the campus getting back to somewhat normal with all of these events going on. 

As I said last year many of these events didn't happen. I personally didn't know many people on campus which was hard for me. I am a very outgoing social person and with not having events being held it was hard for me to meet people and adapt to campus. With some of these events starting back up it has given me the chance to go out and meet new people on campus which has been good for me.

    Hi Noah! I am certainly not the most outgoing and extroverted person out there, but I definitely agree that ONU's campus activities last year, however limited they may have been, were beneficial in getting me to bond with other students and make new friends. The first time my current roommate and I spent time together was at the SPC's Arts & Crafts Night on the Tundra! I am looking forward to attending some more campus activities once my schedule clears up in the evenings.

    Noah, I agree 100% with you, especially getting emails every five seconds, it's crazy. I loved the activities we could participate in my Freshman year before Covid hit us. I definitely enjoyed playing in the Mud Volleyball Tournament too! I agree with you, I am out-going and want to meet people so last year it was very hard to make that happen.

    I would definitely agree on how annoying it is getting so many different emails in one day, it can get really annoying but also helpful with the amount of activities to do around campus. This year is so much better with covid slowing down in Ada, now that we're allowed to do more activities around campus. Covid ruined my freshman year that I wont get back, so ill definitely would be taking advantage of the opportunities of events.

Coming to an End

 If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me.  Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives.  Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so

Football is Over

 After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of

Bounce Back

The game on Saturday was not fun. If you don't already know we got upset very badly at Musky. I don't think anyone on the team really expected us to lose this game. We had an iffy week of practice, but I don't think anyone really predicted that we would end up losing the game. In my personal opinion, I thought that we were the better team with more talented players, but we just didn't get it done. I felt embarrassed and upset after this game. I was in pure shock. I had a long bus ride home to think about how the game went as a whole and what we exactly did right and wrong. I did a lot of soul searching on the way home and I realized that I have to be better and it starts now.  What is most important now is to bounce back. There is no point in dwelling on this game anymore. There is nothing that we can do about it anymore so we shouldn't think about it. The only thing that we as a team can do is to bounce back. It all starts during practice. Everyone knows the saying
