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.

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...

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...

Friendsgiving

I had one of the best meals that I have had in a while last night. About twenty of my friends got together and had one big meal before we all went our separate ways for Thanksgiving break. The meal was especially good because it was prepared by one of my friend's mom. In the past, she has come up to campus to make us a home-cooked meal throughout the week and it is always so delicious, so I had very high expectations for this meal. It definitely did not disappoint.  This meal was a full Thanksgiving feast. Any food that you could have wanted on your Thanksgiving table was there. For the last couple of meals, I have been eating at the Wow Café here on campus and I was completely tired of it. So when my friend told me his mom was coming up, I was so excited. Our friend group definitely struggles with finding food to eat sometimes, so it is almost refreshing to not have to find something to eat. I am truly blessed with some of the best friends a guy could ask for. There aren't a l...
