Fall Break Weekend Turns Out Great for Football Players

It is Fall break 2017, and nearly all the students went to their hometown during the break. The majority of the students have the opportunity to take time off of school to go home and spend the weekend there. However, noticed how I said "majority" and not "all". The reason I didn't say that all of us can go home is because us football players have to stay for Saturday's game and for practice the next day. Most of us were bummed out because it would've been nice to take more time off. But at the same time, we knew we had to take care of business together on Saturday. And that was to beat Capital University. When Saturday came, Capital University came to us for a home game for a 6 p.m. game. The game took about 3 hours. Their team brought a challenge, but we were able to attain a victory by winning 51-21. It was a great night for us as a team, and we performed in a way that gave ONU itself a great image. As for out successful game, we still had to practice on Sunday but we came out to work with confidence knowing that we will do great again the next game we play. Together we felt accomplished, and we were glad that we were able to get the opportunity after all to stay at school during fall break weekend to get another win for ourselves and the university.

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

My Personal Experience During Homecoming Weekend

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
