Thanksgiving break '17


For Thanksgiving break, I didn't go home like every other student did. In fact, I choose not to go home in Miami over Thanksgiving break. Yeah, it would've been nice to reunite with my family and have a feast with them back in my hometown. Instead, I had went to Chicago, aka "Chi-Town". I was given this opportunity because my friend had asked me to come. Let me be more specific. It was my girlfriend that had asked me to come home with her and spend time with her family. There was no way I could say no! She is a student at Ohio Northern (ONU), like myself. Her father had drove to pick us up from school to drive back to the city. We stayed in Chicago for the whole week. We took a drive around downtown, hung out at navy pier and had pizza! Overall, I had a blast and was fascinated by the city. I would recommend anybody to take a trip to Chicago to explore the different landmarks and locations the city has. The city is ginormous! That was my first time visiting Chicago, and it definitely won't be my last!

Donald Trump and Social Media

Image
In today's society, the majority of people get carried away with thinking they wouldn't be at certain places without social media. For example, the reason why a person gets a job is because a person on their social media platform was introducing their business company to get their followers to join their business. President Trump has stated that he would not be where he is today with out social media in general. According to an article on VOA News  , President Trump defended his regular use of social media and said that he may not have won the White House without it. He is specifically referring to the use of Twitter because this is his platform of choice. It's also another way to keep the people updated on what is going on and his current plans. "Tweeting is like a typewriter. When I put it out, you immediately put in on your show. I doubt I would be here if it weren't for social media, to be honest with you." said President Trump. This is the wor...

ONU Women's Volleyball

Image
The women's volleyball team at Ohio Northern University (ONU) has had a very successful season with 27 wins, five losses and being nationally ranked at 18. The team will be playing in the first round of the Division III NCAA Tournament on Friday November 10, ONU will make it's way to Wittenberg, Ohio to take on DePauw University. The ONU volleyball team now has a great chance to advance to the national championship if they continue to win. Also, if ONU continues to win more games, this will give our university another successful title for the success we had. It was a great opportunity to watch the women's volleyball team against Mount Union last Thursday, November 2. The fans were going wild, and the team played with passion while gaining another victory. The level of competition they put out showed the hard work and intensity they've been putting in at practice the entire season. I look forward to the team gaining more success as the season continues.

My Personal Experience During Homecoming Weekend

Image
This past homecoming weekend was truly a blast and one of the few life memories to have. Having participating in the football program and playing in the game during homecoming a weekend was absolutely a blessing hearing the people in the stands root for ONU and showing major support. When I reminisce homecoming back in high school, I picture the amazing memories I have being nominated for homecoming king and standing in the middle of the football field during halftime with the other nominees. When it comes to college homecoming, the spirit is much more enchanting and people really showed love for the school. It was an honor seeing the alumni coming back. It was also a great opportunity meeting an NFL athlete and former Ohio Northern football player, Jason Trusnik. Jason really gave us some encouragement in the locker room during halftime and we came out and got a phenomenal win. Apart from the football game itself being an incredible experience, I had also attended another homecoming...
