Midnights in Medina

    This past weekend I traveled to my girlfriend's house in Medina, Ohio. We didn't really plan anything out, it was just to hang, and honestly, I think that some of the most fun comes from not planning things out, because I had a blast!
    I got to my girlfriend, Katelynn's house right after her shift at Master Pizza. I walked into her house, said hi to her family and headed up to her room to put my bags down. We were both so tired from our busy weeks that we passed out on her bed. We both woke up in the middle of the night and decided we were hungry, so we did the only logical thing, we went to Taco Bell. We got our food and ate in the parking lot while listening to music and talking. We eventually headed back to her house at about 5 a.m. and proceeded to pass out again.
    The next day we got up around noon and made waffles, eggs and coffee. Right after we ate, Katelynn had to get ready and leave for work. Just my luck that every other person in her house was leaving at the same time, so I was left by myself for 5 hours. Luckily her family has a dog and a cat, so I wasn't completely alone. Plus, me being alone gave me time to get school work done, take a shower and take a nap. Eventually, Katelynn's dad and brother came home. I talked to them for a little bit before heading to Master Pizza to hang out with Katelynn while she closed. I actually had fun seeing the kitchen and watching her close. Master Pizza even had leftover dough that they were going to throw out so we got to make two pizzas for ourselves! We made one that had barbecue, chicken, bacon and onion on it, and the other one was their macaroni and cheese pizza. They were both so good, especially after doing school work for hours. After we made the pizzas, she finished closing and clocked out and we ate the pizzas in her car while jamming out to music. We then went back to her house, talked all night, then finally fell asleep.


    Then Sunday morning rolled around, which didn't matter because we slept till noon. When we finally got up we made cinnamon rolls and coffee. Then we got ready and went to the South Park Mall. We just walked around and looked at the stores. We probably spent the most amount of time looking at the puppies that were for sale. Then, we got Chinese food before leaving the mall and heading to the Starbucks right across the street. We got a grande iced chai tea latte with brown sugar syrup. I didn't think I was going to like it, but it was actually really good. It kind of tasted like pumpkin spice. Once we got our Starbucks drink, we headed to the Medina Square where we got frozen yogurt at a place called Lemonberry and took pictures in a big gazebo in the middle of the square. It was then time for me to leave, so we traveled back to her house, I got packed up, said bye to everyone and headed back to campus.

    Hello Reese, it sounds like you had an awesome and laid-back weekend with your girlfriend. Sometimes the best memories come from just going with the flow. From Taco Bell runs to making pizzas at Master Pizza, everything seemed perfectly spontaneous. It’s these simple, little moments that make trips like this so special.

Winter Break Recap!

Image
Where do I start? Winter break was a blast! Between hanging out with high school friends, the hectic holidays, and more family game nights than I can count on my hands, I barely had enough time to catch up on sleep. I started my break off with a bang! Day one: I woke up at the crack of dawn and drove an hour to court for a speeding ticket I had received a few weeks prior. After sitting in the courtroom for over an hour and hearing every single other person's case, I was called to the stand. Just to get slapped with a $250 fine followed by a 2-hour drive home. Not the "bang" I was hoping for, but such as life, I guess. The good news is that break was all uphill from there! My family and I did all our Christmas traditions, like visiting Santa, decorating cookies, and watching every Christmas movie we own. Then Christmas day came along, and I spent all day with my family. We opened gifts throughout the day, and I got a lot of great gifts, including some much-needed ONU merch...

The 100 Year Woman

 Mary Louise (Reinhart) Davis She was born in Alvada, OH, on March 17, 1924, the fifth of eleven children. She married her husband, Charles Davis on April 19, 1945, and they were married for 68 years. Mary loved her family, going to garage sales, playing cards, going anywhere with her loved ones, and attending parties. She never wanted to miss any school activities or events of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a faithful member of Gesu Catholic church for 73 years. On November 23, 2024, Mary passed away at the age of 100. You're probably wondering who this woman is and why she's in my post about the book, "Essentials of Social Media Marketing." Mary Davis is my great-grandma. Her being my grandma doesn't mean much to you, but I want you to think about how much the world has changed over those 100 years. There were no smartphones or internet, computers were people who operated calculating machines, students used slate tablets, and radio broadcasts...

Back In The Swing

Image
     At this point, we are about two weeks into our second semester, and it has been a struggle. On my first day back, I had very simple goals: get through my classes and turn in my paperwork to begin working at Vancrest of Ada, a nursing home less than a mile from campus. I did, in fact, get through my classes, but I couldn't turn my paperwork in as, prior to leaving, I realized I had no idea where it was. I swore that I had put it in my backpack, but it wasn't there. My roommate and I searched the whole dorm and my car, and it was nowhere to be found. This might not seem like too big of an issue, but to work in a nursing home, there's a long list of requirements to check off. I needed a background check done, my fingerprints done, and a physical done at a location that is partnered with Vancrest. I had all of it done, and everything was signed, and then I lost it.      The following day, I went to Vancrest to get a new packet of paperwork, and just my luc...
