St Patrick's Day!

If you didn't wear green on St Patrick’s Day, what were you doing? 

Last week was St Patrick’s Day and while I usually don't do much for the holiday, this year was different. My friends and I knew we wanted to get cute shirts so during the week we went looking at various stores such as Walmart, Meijer, etc. We got pretty lucky at Walmart, finding cute and funny shirts. My shirt had Lucky Charms on it while Larkins had a dabbing leprechaun with a pot of gold. So funny! We spent that Saturday doing various activities. We played cornhole, which I sadly lost at, hit around the volleyball, threw around a football, and other different activities. It was pretty cold, but luckily there was a bonfire where we were. After playing all the different games we warmed up by the fire, talking to everyone there and meeting new people. We're all pretty social so we left having many new friends.  

Later on, that evening we grabbed Wow with some of our other friends and just hung out. The day went by so quick. For once we had a free weekend without a meet, so it was such a relief to be able to wake up in the morning, get our run in, and then do whatever we wanted. Overall, it was such a fun day with my friends, and I walked away with so many more memories than I expected.

    St. Patrick's Day was a lot fun, this was also the first time I was able to celebrate the holiday as we usually have an out of town game the same day and never get to experience it!

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
