Fun Weekend Activities!

-


This past weekend we were supposed to have a meet at Indiana Wesleyan. Thanks to the cold temps and snow, the meet was sadly canceled. With another free weekend on our hands, we wondered what we would do. Friday night, my roommate, our two other friends, and I went to Beer Barrel for dinner. I feel like I talk about Beer Barrel a lot here, and I do. It's one of our favorite places to eat so of course we go there all the time! Dinner was great like usual, and we headed back to campus. We ended up watching a movie after. I forget the name of it but it was pretty scary. I hate jump scare movies and that is exactly what this movie was! After the movie we all went back to our rooms and went to bed. I was so tired and we had practice the next morning so I needed some sleep.

Saturday morning eventually came and so did practice. It was freezing out. It was raining, snowing, even hailing at one point. My coach wanted to do something fun for us since the meet was canceled so we ended up doing a 30-lap relay. We were divided into teams of 6 and each team could decide how many laps each person runs. I ran 3 laps, and my team ended up winning the whole relay. It was so much fun but so cold at the same time that we were ready to get out of there. After practice, we had lunch with 3 or 4 recruits and hung out with them for a couple hours. We had a busy day ahead of us! It seemed like time was going by so fast. After the recruits left, my friends and I headed over to our girls senior cross country house. We baked with one of our best friends and favorite senior, Tessa. Sadly, Rue wasn't there so we had to bake without her. We played a card game after, and it was so much fun. Luckily Tessa is coming back next year for a 5th year, so we don't have to say goodbye to her just yet. I already know I'm going to miss her so much. Later that evening, we left to get ready for our semi-formal dance at the cross country house. I love getting dressed up and it ended up being so much fun! We took so many cute pictures, it was definitely a great way to end such a busy, but fun and memorable day.

    I almost attended Indiana Wesleyan actually, due to it being a family member's alma mater. It sucks to hear that the track meet was canceled, but it's always fun to go to a new area with friends, explore and enjoy some time together. I'm not the most knowledgeable on track, I didn't know that you all practiced the day after a meet. Does the track team get any days off at all? I can't imagine that schedule and how it must feel on the legs.

    Beer Barrel is fantastic and I am almost upset that I did not discover it until this year. It is a go to spot for the seniors on the lacrosse team and I feel like we are eating there at least twice a month for our senior dinner nights that we do once a week. It sucks to have events cancelled though, seems a common theme as we had our lacrosse game in Buffalo cancelled last week because the other team "didn't have enough players to field a team".

    It sounded like you had a blast. It is always an amazing time being with your friends. It's about the memories that you make in life that are important. On another note, I've always wanted to go to beer barrel, it seems amazing. Remember spend time with your friends, they will always be there for you.

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
