Thanksgiving Break

 

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. I hope everyone had a great break. Thanksgiving break this year was one of those weeks that somehow felt both relaxing and eventful at the same time. I did so many things over break so that is what I wanted to share. I got home on Friday after my morning classes and took a long nap. I didn’t do anything on my first weekend home except for chilling in my bedroom with my parents and my dog. So here is a little timeline of everything I did once the weekend was over.


Tuesday: DWTS Finale Night

My week kicked off on Tuesday with the Dancing With the Stars finale. I was fully locked in and rooting hard for Alix Earle to win. Every performance she did this season was such a surprise, and honestly, I loved watching her confidence grow. Even though the finale didn’t go the way I hoped, it was still so much fun to watch. (She got robbed!)

Wednesday: Stranger Things Season 5

On Wednesday, I went full binge mode and watched the first four episodes of Stranger Things season five. It came on at 8:00 pm and my Netflix started to crash because so many people were getting on. I don’t know why they waited so long to release this season, but wow, it did not disappoint. I had been waiting so long for this season to come out and it is amazing already.

Thursday: Thanksgiving at Home

Thanksgiving Day itself was classic in the best way. My family came over to my house, and the whole day was filled with food, noise, and everyone trying to talk over each other. We played so many games and just had a great time catching up. My dog clawed my aunt in the eye so we had to visit the ER, but other than that it was a great holiday.

Friday: Black Friday Adventures

On Friday, my mom and I headed out bright and early for some Black Friday shopping. It wasn’t as chaotic as I expected, but still had that fun, early morning energy that only Black Friday can bring. We spent way too much money. Later that day, my friend OB came over, and we just hung out and prepared for our day ahead. It was the perfect mix of shopping chaos and chill time.

Saturday: The Game

Saturday was the earliest wake up call of the week. We were up at 6 AM to head down to OSU for an all-day celebration. The atmosphere was insane. Whether you’re into football or not, being around that kind of energy is something else. It was one of those days that feels long in the moment but ends too fast in hindsight. I was able to meet up with so many of my friends from high school and my previous university!

Overall, Thanksgiving break was packed but in the best way. A little TV, a little family, a little shopping, and a whole lot of excitement. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to recharge before heading back to reality.

    I loved Season 5 Volume 1 of Stranger Things! I did notice as well that Black Friday was a little less active than it used to be, which may be due to everything being purchased online nowadays.

    Season 5 of Stranger Things is definitely on my bucket list as of now. I was a huge fan of the show up to this point, so I can't wait to watch it!

    I loved watching the DWTS Finale!! I was torn between Robert and Alix the whole season and said I would be happy if either won, but after I was a little upset it wasn't Alix...

    I also enjoyed the DWTS over break and while I knew it would be Robert who won I think Alix improved so much.

Wrestling Season !!!!

  Hey guys, welcome back to my blog. My favorite season of the year is finally coming up, wrestling season! My brother has wrestled for many years, and he is going to be a senior at Otterbein University. Growing up with an older brother has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. From the time we were little, I’ve always looked up to him. I’ve seen him push through challenges most people never witness. I’ve watched him get up at the crack of dawn, put on multiple layers of clothes to lose a few pounds, not eat at Thanksgiving or Christmas, and run for hours on end. He is always doing the little things and constantly motivates me. Watching him grow up has been really amazing. Because of him, I always wanted to wrestle, even though I never would, he made it look so fun. I’m so proud, but I’m also so aware that this is the final chapter of something he’s poured his life into. I can’t wait to cheer for him one more time, to see him compete with that same fire that’s been there s...

Hello, welcome back to my blog! This semester has been incredibly busy, as many of you know from my previous posts. Even with all the chaos, it’s been one of the most rewarding semesters yet. Full of growth, challenges, and memories that I’ll carry with me forever. As we head into the OAC Tournament this week, I’ve been reflecting on this year’s volleyball season. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since August. With half of the team being freshmen and a few transfers joining, including myself, we started out as a brand new group still figuring out who we were. Throughout the season, we faced our fair share of ups and downs, moments where we struggled to find our why, our energy spark, and that deep desire to compete for one another.  We had countless team talks and exercises to help us get back on track. Some days, things clicked perfectly and other days, it felt like we were still searching. But through all of it, I began to realize that my why wasn’t something I needed to f...
