Medina Madness

    My weekend was much more eventful than last weekend, solely because I got to see my girlfriend, Katelynn. It kicked off Friday night. After my shift at Vancrest, a shower and finishing some homework, I finally left the dorm around midnight, putting me at her house at 2:15 a.m. We were both tired as we both had work, so we talked for a couple of hours and then went to bed.

    Saturday, we woke up around noon and had breakfast and coffee. We hung out and watched Instagram Reels for a couple hours before she had to go to work at Master Pizza. I went to work with her and did some homework in the dining room during her shift. When the end of her shift finally came around she cleaned up the kitchen, and then we used the extra dough to make ourselves a pizza. We made a pizza with garlic butter as the sauce and topped it with cheese, chicken and onions. After we finished making the pizza Katelynn closed the store and we sat in her car eating and listening to music. We then made our way to Sheetz where we got snacks for our movie night. I have been a big Lion King nerd ever since I was a kid and Katelynn hadn't seen Lion King 2 or the new Mufasa movie, so obviously we had to have a Lion King movie night. We watched both movies and were asleep soon after.

    We woke up Sunday morning, again at noon, and our leftover pizza from the night before for breakfast. We then went shopping for both of our brother's birthday gifts as my brother's birthday had just occurred, March 29, and her brother's was upcoming, April 3. They both love Pokemon, so we went to a card shop about 45 minutes away from her house. I know that seems like a long drive but being people who love to talk and sing along to music, the drive there and back felt like nothing. When we got back to her house we played basketball with her brothers, Cameron and Carson. I then gave Carson the Pokemon cards that I got from the card shop for his birthday before we headed to a nearby park. The four of us hung out at the park for a while, then got food at Dairy Queen. It was then that we began getting severe storm and tornado warnings for Medina and multiple cities I would have to drive through to get back to campus. Not wanting to drive through that, I decided to skip my first two Monday classes and drive back Monday morning.

    Update, I survived!

    Sounds like you had a busy, but good weekend with your girlfriend! It can be difficult being in a relationship where your partner is not local. Also, doom-scrolling reels on Instagram is so real!

    That sounds both busy and like lots of fun! I'm really jealous of the pizza. Now I'm hungry after reading that. It sounds like you all had a great time!

    What a great way to spend the weekend after another week of school. From the looks of it sounds like you and your girlfriend had an amazing weekend. Spending time with each other, relaxing and enjoying one another's company.

    Sounds like an amazing weekend full of quality time and simple joys! That homemade pizza with garlic butter sauce sounds next level, and the Lion King movie night is just great vibes. It's awesome how even a long drive turns into something fun when you're with the right person.

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...
