Movie Night!

-

Shout out to the huge winter storm that cancelled classes for two days. Much appreciated!

 

When we got the email that class was online, my friends and I started texting in our group chats talking about what we were going to do. Would we have another snowball fight? Go sledding? Build an igloo? All of those are fun options, and yes, we did have yet another snowball fight, but we were looking for something different, and warmer haha. My roommate Olyvia, the girl on the far right in the picture, and I have the "designated hangout room" so we knew we needed to plan something fun. After much thought, we came up with the idea for a movie night.

 

We texted Mj and Larkin, the other two girls in the picture, and then some of our football friends. Usually everyone would have to get up early the next morning to lift, run, or go to class but since all those things were cancelled, movie night was a go. We started the movies around 10pm and ended up watching 4 movies. By the time we watched all 4 movies it was already 5am! Time went by so quick; I'm honestly surprised none of us fell asleep. We watched two scary movies and two comedy movies. My personal favorite are horror movies, but it was nice to mix up the vibes. It was such a fun night with some of my best friends here and a highlight of having classes cancelled. 

 

These are the moments I love and live for!

    I was so excited to when I got the email that classes were cancelled! Also, having movies nights with your friends are awesome. I'm not a big fan of horror movies but sign me up if it's a comedy movie! I definitely do know that during those two days we had classes cancelled I just wanted to stay in my dorm and watch my shows/homework. I am happy that you had a great time and hopefully those two days were amazing for you and your friends!

    The snow days were such a blessing! I am impressed that you are were able to stay up until 5 am. Personally, I am an early bird so I couldn't do that. Movie nights are the best way to destress. My teammate Abby brought her TV down after we came back from losing to Otterbein, and we watched The Greatest Showman. We had to make a rule that we weren't allowed to talk about basketball because we just needed a mental break. I am glad that your group of friends got to hang out again!

    Movie nights are amazing times! We have movie nights almost every week in our house, although they are yet to reach 5am! Some house favorites are Cars and The Incredibles but regardless of what we are watching its always a great time!

    I love a good movie night! Usually I am way too tired to make it past midnight though, let alone 5 am!!! It sounds like you guys had a really fun time and made the most out of a rare occurrence. If we get more snow (hopefully not) I think building a giant snowman might be the next move, campus is missing out on one of those!

Final Blog

I can't believe I am writing my last and final blog for this semester! Through the last couple of months, I have really enjoyed blogging about my life and what we were doing in class. This past week has been bittersweet as my friends and I are spending as much time with each other that we can on campus until this fall. I'm excited for a nice little break and to go home but I'm sad that I won't be living with my best friends. For this final blog, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some of the best memories I have from this second semester: 1. The snowstorm that canceled classes and practice for 2 days! My friends and I had a movie marathon, a snowball fight, and hung out until 5 in the morning. It was so much fun, and our football friends and I got closer.  2. My brother and his best friend Skip visiting and spending the weekend with me here! They watched me race at our indoor track meet, grabbed dinner at Beer Barrel and El Campo, went to mass, and hung out.

First Outdoor Track Meet!

This past weekend we had our first outdoor track meet of the season in Indianapolis at Marian University. It ended up being a 15-hour day, with the bus leaving at 6:15 in the morning and not returning until 9:45 at night. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time we got back. I started my first outdoor season for ONU by racing the 5k. Right before my race it started to rain, and it did so the entire race. I didn't mind though; I actually like racing in the rain. I ended up running a decent time (sub-20), but I know I can do better as the season progresses. I've been dealing with iron deficiency, so it's been a little bit of a struggle but we're getting there! My parents came to the race which I was so excited about. The last time I saw them was spring break and although it wasn't that long ago, I still missed them so much. My parents are my best friends and whenever I'm home from school I spend a lot of time with them. Since I live just over an hour away from

Lima Trip!

  No race this weekend? No problem. Lima trip it is! This past weekend was my first free weekend since being back this semester. My coach had myself and a few others not race to let our legs rest for conference this week and it was so nice! With all this free time, I knew I wanted to spend my day doing something fun, and a little trip to Lima was exactly what I needed.    Larkin, Abbi, and I left for Lima with Starbucks in our hands and money in our pockets waiting to be spent at the mall. Going to the mall is very dangerous for me because I always know I'm going to walk out of there spending more money than I anticipated. To no surprise, that's exactly what happened. I ended up buying these cute black yoga pants from American Eagle and a brown tank top. They both were so cute I couldn't pass them up! Larkin and Abbi spent way more than me, making me feel a little better about my purchases.   After shopping for an hour or so we grabbed lunch at Panera and talked a
