ONE HOT MESS

Well folks, we have hit the end of the semester and my life is a series of laughing out loud. 

College is a weekly cycle of "I just need to get through this week and everything will be chill next week" and then it's next week and everything is not chill. I might have seen that quote on VSCO, but it is the MOST RELATABLE thing I have seen during this semester. 

This semester has been the semester from you know what and I am so ready to be done and home with my family. Now, I'm not trying to be all negative ... there have been a lot of great moments and I know I will remember this semester for the rest of my life. 

But y'all, I have been put into quarantine. As you know, I live with six girls and three of them tested positive for the COVID. I will be chilling with the COVIDs until the end of the dead week and then I pack up and head home for a month. I feel horrible my roommates had to go through the scary virus, but I have been healthy during this time and I tested negative. I just pray for a smooth recovery and we all make it healthy during these crazy times. 

This semester has been really rough for me. Whether I am worried about capstone, basketball, my weight, working out, the COVID, the election, my grades and literally so much more, I'm ready for a break and for it to all be over. I'm trying to see the positives of the current situation and me in quarantine. I'm thinking God wanted me to take a rest and listen to His word. 

I have been blessed with the most amazing people and I'm realizing they keep me going. My professor (well, some of them) are so helpful, my roommates are my best friends, Chris is my rock, my teammates and coaches bring me joy and my family helps me laugh. 

Something I didn't know happened with the COVID is how much it messes with your mental health, but damn, it really messes with your mental state. I think for the first 48 hours of quarantine, I cried the entire time. I was a hot mess, but we got through it because I have the best people. 

I'm super thankful the weather has been nice because I have been able to get outside and run. I am not able to go to basketball so I am back on my running and body workout routines, which I have honestly missed a lot. 

I hope everyone stays safe, healthy and doesn't catch the COVID. I know this blog was all over the place, but this semester was all over the place so it is very much on brand. I love blogging and I will keep blogging my life. 

Happy senior year. I love you all. 

XOXO, Em out. 

I MISS SPORTS

If you can't tell, I'm kinda over the COVID. It's crazy to me to think everything was different a year ago and it has been like this since March. I don't know about you guys, but Snapchat memories from a year ago really make me emotional. I was going to soccer and football games, I was able to walk around without a mask and I was allowed to hug all my friends without the fear of getting yelled at to socially distance. 

I haven't been to a sporting event since my basketball game. THAT'S UNREAL. My cousins, who are still in High School, have been able to continue playing football and volleyball and I would be able to watch the livestream, but I missed watching under the lights. 

With football, I got extremely lucky to go see my cousin play Friday. We live in Akron, but the game was in Tiffin. It was under an hour to get there and I got to see my aunt, uncle, grandma and my grandma's friend. I took Chris with me and my family was really excited to him as well. Even though there was thunderstorm and there was an hour rain delay, I was very happy to see my family and watch some football. 

My cousin is the quarterback and he was playing so well. He had to take a year off from football due to a torn shoulder, but he looked confident and a straight baller out on the field. I was so proud of him. The game was close and we were winning for the majority of the game, but the other team came back in the last quarter and we lost 21-28. 

Even though the game didn't end the way we wanted it to, I was able to see some a lot of High School people and it made me realize how much I miss home. I can't wait to go home soon and spend time with my family. I think I have been exhausted and drained from school, so I'm ready to go home for a little bit. 

I can't wait for the spring to come and I'm ready for all the ONU teams to start playing. Please COVID, go away. 

HOMECOMING

Keeping up with the year of lasts, I just participated in my last homecoming ever. I never knew the power of homecoming until a global pandemic hit and took a lot of the activities away. This year, I was nominated to be on homecoming court and it was a huge honor. 

All last week, people would tell me congratulations and it made me realize how amazing Northern students and faculty are and how lucky I am to call this place home. With the COVID craziness, homecoming looked a little different this year. There was no parade, no football game and no in-person events. This was really tough because I would have loved to be a part of the parade and have my family come up for the weekend, but I have to remember this year is different. 

I was partnered with a men's baseball player, so it was a little athlete couple and we got some great photos with Klondike. I was running straight from practice, but I had enough time to shower and put on my face! My roommate let me wear all her clothes and the sun was out. It was a beautiful day for homecoming. 

I know homecoming is a huge deal because normally alumni would come back home and we would all get together to celebrate. Even though it didn't happen this year, I am so thankful and grateful for this school because they try to make it normal and give students an experience they won't forget. 

Although I didn't win queen, I felt so honored to be a part of this court and it is definitely a highlight of my college experience. I can't wait to come back to ONU next year for homecoming and I'm hopeful everything, I mean EVERYTHING, will be back to normal. 

RUN, RUN, RUN

I love running. When I'm happy, I run. When I'm stressed, I run. When I'm sad, I run. When a freaking global pandemic hits, I started running. 

My goal before graduating high school was to run a half marathon. I completed the Towpath Half-Marathon in October of my senior year, so just about four years ago. I wanted to finish under 2 1/2-hour and my overall time was two hours and 22 minutes. It was a great feeling and I felt so accomplished. I ran it with my cousin with my aunt and parents waiting for me at the finish line. 

I went to college and I stopped running as much as I did because basketball was my life. But when the COVID started happening and everyone had to quarantine, I picked up running again. I think it was mostly because I was bored, but it made me realize how much it helped me. 

I have been running consistently for the past seven months and I think it would be really fun to run another race before I graduate college. I did some research and found Toledo has a race in April. There are four options: a 5K, a relay marathon, half-marathon and marathon. 

I would love to register for the marathon, but I'm worried I wouldn't have enough time to train from basketball season. So, here are my thoughts ... I'm going to sign up for the relay marathon and make all my roommates do it with me. 

I created a PowerPoint presentation to persuade my roommates to do it and be in it to win it. I'm still working on the convincing, but I'm hopeful we can do it! If I can't get my roommates to sign up, feel free to reach out to me because I really want to do this.

In all seriousness, I would love to complete another half marathon before I  graduate college and knowing there is an opportunity to do it really makes me happy. 

Paige, if you're reading this ... you're running with me. 

SENIOR YEAR BASKETBALL

And just like that ... it's my last season of basketball. I have been playing basketball for 17 years and I'm entering my last season. It's crazy to think this is the year of lasts but I'm extremely thankful to get to play basketball. With the COVID craziness, I didn't think we would be able to play, so I'm ready.

Every year, the team reads a book and we talk about it before our first practice. This year, the book was called "The Hard Hat" by Jon Gordon. This book is a true story about a selfless, loyal and compassionate leader and teammate, who played lacrosse at Cornell. It identifies 21 ways to be a great teammate and exercises to help build a great team. 

"The Hard Hat" was extremely eye opening for me and helped me realize I don't want to take this year for granted. We got together to talk about what this book means to us and how it is going to help us be a great team. I would recommend this book to anyone because there are so many situations where you are on a team and it is really beneficial to keep the lessons from the book in mind. 

Out of the 21 lessons to be a great teammate, three of them really stuck out to me. 

1. Stay positive and spread contagious energy 

• As a lot of people know, I am really loud and energetic and it makes me so happy to spread my energy on others. I know (at times) it can be a lot, but I love being able to boost the energy in the room. "You can be a germ or a big dose of vitamin C." 

2. Pursue Excellence 

• I'm a perfectionist. I don't like messing up and I don't like failure. I try to pursue excellence in everything I do. The book talked about the one percent rule: try to focus on getting one percent better at something in your life every day and results will show. 

3. Leave the place better than you found it. 

• I think everyone has a calling and a purpose in life and it's so cool to me. The idea of leaving a legacy or leaving your mark really amazes me. I want to impact someone's life by my presence and being a great friend. 

Everyone should buy this book and read it. I promise you will not regret it and it only took a couple of hours! 

21 FUN

I finally turned 21 years old! If you guys didn't know, my birthday is considered a national holiday and my people really lived it up. I celebrated for three days and I can't even put into words how amazing my roommates were with the planning, decorations and making me feel like a queen. 

On my actually birthday, I was able to go to dinner with Chris, Abby and my friend, Jordan. We went to Luke's in Bluffton and it was so fun! Night one was more of a chill and family night because I had my last basketball conditioning ever! 

Then the weekend came and all the festivities with the roommates began! All of their secret planning, hidden Pinterest boards and text messages back and forth came into full swing on Friday night. My roommates killed it. They decorated the room in light blue with perfect balloons, a photo wall, dinner and of course, alcohol. Friday was a blast and we got all dressed up for the night and I even got my professor to find me the sassiest and most perfect dress. 

On Saturday, we all relaxed for a bit and started the day with a little white lies t-shirt themed party. Everyone wears a white t-shirt with a white lie written on it. My shirt said "I'm quiet." HA, get it? Because I'm loud. Saturday was the rough day and night but we powered through and made it out alive.

I felt all the love this past weekend and I can't be more grateful for all the amazing people in my life. I think birthdays are special because you get to celebrate the individuals you love the most. Everyone needs friends like mine in their life but you can't have mine because they are already taken. 

 

THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR

We live on the COVID corner ... as people like to call it but ironically, no one has the COVID. 

My neighbors are fun. As you know, I live in a house with five other girls so it is already loud. But let me tell you about the house next door ... THEY ARE NUTS. On this corner, we have my house (women's basketball and volleyball), the women's soccer team is across the street and then the football boys are right next door. 

The corner is fun and I am really enjoying getting to know them because I didn't know them until this year of college. When you put four sports teams together, it is a blast and I wish COVID-19 didn't exist because it would be even more fun. 

But the house next door is always on a whole other level. First of all, there are 12 humans living in the house, 11 boys and one girl. Megan is a queen and we call her the queen of the castle. She whips the boys into shape and I believe she is the reason the house is still standing. We love Megan and I think she loves having girls to escape to when the boys are too crazy. 

Next we have the 11 boys who are out of control. We say it is the football players but it is really just two football guys, construction management majors and then retired football players. I say they are obnoxious but they make me laugh until I'm crying and they can always put a smile on my face. It's hard to explain all of the things they do because it is just so random. I wish I could have spent more time with them during college but I am really thankful they came into my life during the COVID craziness.

I know a lot of people think our corner is crazy but I really promise we follow the COVID guidelines. We have outside and six-feet apart movie nights, corn hole and volleyball games (with our masks on), Chipotle runs and Sunday morning coffee talks ... from our two porches. 

College is fun and sometimes I wish it would all slow down. The COVID can definitely chill sometimes but being on the corner makes it feel normal. 

Thanks (insert street name but I'm not writing it for security reason) for all the shenanigans. 

I GOT THE COVID TEST ... I'M NEGATIVE

Y'all ... I got randomly selected to get the COVID-19 test at school on Tuesday and I WAS FREAKING OUT. I had zero symptoms but I think I was convincing myself I had the COVID. 

I received an email on Friday as I was driving to the DMV because I am turning 21 in one week! I was so excited because I believe my birthday is a national holiday and I am finally going to be old enough to do adult activities with my friends because I am the baby of the group. I pulled into the DMV and I got the notification I had to get tested and then my stress began for five straight days. 

I wish ONU would tell you five minutes before you had to get tested because then you would not have much time to stress about the situation. Yes, I know I get more worked up on a situation compared to others but I really did not enjoy the anticipation of waiting. I was giving myself headaches and then I convinced myself I had the COVID but I would just forget to eat and drink water. 

I was more afraid of being positive than the actual test. I would cry because I did not want to be the reason my friends would have to quarantine for 14 days. I know my house would have fun but the idea of it being my fault really made me anxious. BUT WE ARE IN THE CLEAR! 

The test didn't hurt and I think I blacked out during it. It took literally 10 seconds and the waiting game started. My aunt called me during the wait and my roommate called me to play a prank and my heart stopped both times. After an hour, I realized I was not going to get a call and I was all good. It was a huge relief. 

I wish this blog did more justice on proving how scared and nervous I was for this test. But you can ask everyone who knew about it ... I was flipping the frick out. I am very happy to have this over and I hope Northern continues to keep the numbers low and I wish everyone who tested positive or in quarantine a safe and quick recovery! 

ESCAPE TO PARADISE

If you have been keeping up on my blogs, you know I have been struggling through college with COVID-19. It was just Labor Day and normally we get Monday off but this year, we had to go to school. I wasn’t planning on leaving ONU but I did and went to my favorite place.

I went to relax on Lake Erie at my grandma’s house in Marblehead. Chris and I decided to go last minute because we both needed to get away. I say “we” but it was mostly me and he is a rock star and offered to drive. It was a quick 24-hour trip and we filled up our whole time with being on the water and exploring the location. Chris has never been to the lake so it was fun to show him around but I wish we had a little more time.

We were able to Jet Ski around the area, we went the Marblehead lighthouse, we had a perch fish fry and we got the "famous" Toft's ice cream ... if you know you know. 

I haven't seen my grandma since I left for my summer internship so it was about three months and I really missed her. My grandma has a huge impact on my life and I could tell she really missed me. If you ask any of my cousins, they all say I am the favorite grandkid ... it's 100% true.

This weekend was so fun and I can't wait to go back to the lake soon and see my memaw. It is my home away from home and I loved being able to show Chris this special place. After the chaos, the lake was the only place I wanted to be and I'm so thankful I was able to go! 

AB IN ADA

We are doing better. Last week was just not my week at all but this week is going better. This year is going to be a roller coaster but we are going to make it out thriving. 

Abby (my sister) was in Ada over the weekend for a wedding and I didn't even realize how much I missed her until I saw her. It was something I really needed and a piece of home. She came up on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. We had a grand time, she looked so pretty for the wedding and we got sister time. 

This was Abby's first time back at school since she graduated and I concluded there is no one else who loved college more than her. She was so invested with everything about COVID-19 and she wanted to be included on the roommate shenanigans. It was really cute and I think she needed to experience it again. 

My roommates were excited to see Abby and whenever you have two Brock sisters together, it automatically gets two times louder. I love when we are together because she knows how to calm me down when I am stressed out. 

I was really comforting to have her here this week with all the craziness and stress from the week before and I was able to vent and get it all out. I am hopeful things will start to look up and I start feeling somewhat of a normal again. 

Seeing her made me realize college is going by so fast and before I know it, I will be graduating. I really don't want to spend my weeks stressed and anxious about the future. My reminders for this week include:

1. Taking deep breathes 

2. Starting each morning with three things I am grateful for

3. Smile

BUSY BEAR FOR YEAR 4

Three weeks into school and this blog post is going to be a rant about how overwhelmed and stressed senior year has been so far. I feel like I cannot take a breath, slow down and enjoy what I have in front of me. 

The past three weeks have been filled with school, basketball, COVID-19 and being a senior. I wake up, workout, go to work, go to class, go to meetings and then try to find time to be a normal college student. IT IS HARD. 

I know I sound dramatic but I think being able to put my thoughts into writing will help me. So far, senior year is kicking my butt. I think I cry everyday because my mind races about how much I have going on and the big factor in it all is how this is my last year at school. 

This is the first time in my life I feel unorganized and unprepared when it comes to school and work. Normally I have my life planned out but over the past three weeks, things have not gone my way. I am trying to stay as optimistic as I can but I am on the struggle bus. 

In my last blog, I mentioned how my motto is make it count. This is my last year of school and it is supposed to be the best year but I find myself worrying about other people and making sure I am doing everything I can to make my life less stressful. But in reality, I think I am making it harder. 

I am 100% the person who makes things more difficult and I am a hardcore perfectionist. I think it is coming back to haunt me. My two helpful tactics I am doing a lot is running and organizing but there is only so much you can do. 

At the end of the day, senior year is hard. Trying to live through a global pandemic for your entire senior year is hard. I am trying to live my best life but somedays are a bit harder than others. 

I am ending this on a good note. Three things I am thankful: the sunshine, the green monster and Romans 8:28. 

OK, rant over. Em out. 

121 IS MY NEW HOME

You all know how much I love Ada and ONU so this is the perfect time to talk about the most perfect people I get to live with this year. 

I love my friends! They are so fun and I'm so happy to be living with them this year. Our friend group started when we were sophomores and then we literally spent every second together. Our group is filled with two (current) volleyball players, one (retired) volleyball player and two basketball players. Three of us are business majors and the other two are nurses. Honestly, it's the perfect set up.

 

Our group has different personalities but also extremely similar personalities. We love to have fun, support each other, laugh at each other but most importantly, be loud with each other. If you know me well, think about how loud I am and then quadruple it.

We all decided to live in a house together for a last year and so far, it's going really well! No drama ... yet ;) just kidding. I'm really excited to see how this year is going to go but the biggest lesson I'm learning right now is to make it count. I try to make a motto for each year and it just stuck out to me when the pandemic hit. 

I can spend this year being mad and upset about COVID-19 and don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy living school like this. But I'm trying to remember all the positives. I GET to live in a house with my best friends. I GET to wake up and go to class. I GET to stay up till 3am and laugh until I cry with these girls.

I'm so excited for this year and to be in a bubble with these girls. In the wise words of my roommates, "You can't break the rules when you live with your best friends." 

These girls are some of the most important people in my life and I really don't know what I would do without them. Shoutout 121 (not going to write the street name from security reasons) ... I'm so ready for this year!  

I'M BACK (:

Hey everyone, well whoever is reading. It's been awhile without blogging and I'm happy to say I miss it. There has been so much happening over the past couple of months and I don't even know where to begin.

So if you're new to me. Hi, my name is Emily. I'm a senior at Ohio Northern University. I like writing about my life so welcome!

Well to start, I was able to get an internship as a Communications intern for two health care companies in Washington, D.C.  Leaving the "Akron bubble" was out of my comfort zone but totally worth it.

Wrapping up school was bittersweet. If you didn't keep up on my older blogs, I quarantined with my sister at Ohio Northern and I got into a routine of being there and having fun with all the roommates. I genuinely miss it sometimes but I'm very lucky to have one more year left with my best friends.

Before I left for Virginia, I caught up with friends and family and was extremely busy. I was traveling back and forth between Ada, Akron and Wooster, trying to be with everyone before I had to leave. I was able to get up to Lake Erie and soak up the sun with my grandma and cousins.

I spent the Fourth of July with my family in Virginia. My other weekends were spent hiking, boating, exploring and cooking with my boyfriend, Chris and his family. I really enjoyed spending my summer in Virginia and I was very thankful to have the opportunity to gain an amazing experience during a global pandemic. 

My summer went very fast but I was really happy to come back to the village and start my senior year with some of my favorite people. I knew this year was going to be filled with different emotions but COVID-19 took a crazy twist on the year. 

I'm ready to get senior year rolling and I'm looking forward to all the memories I am going to make with my friends. 

AND THAT'S A WRAP ... KINDA

Well if you made it this far, you should just keep reading.

Laughing OUT LOUD. If you ever laughed at one of my blogs, I thank you. You did exactly what I hoped for when I started this for my Social Media Principles class.

We are wrapping up our semester and our professor, Dr. Aggie, gave us a prompt to write our last blog, our favorite and least favorite parts about class. The memories I made from this class exceeded all expectations and I realized my minor in social media is way more than just being able to tweet and post content.

My Social Media Principles class was filled with a lot more than blogs, AP quizzes, book assignments and very difficult quizzes. During this course, I found an attachment to TikTok, I learned all about my classmates and professor's life and I realized social media is really cool.

When I think about this class, it's hard for me to pick something I didn't like but I guess I will go with the "typical" answer. I didn't like the "quizzes" over the two books. Dr. Aggie, likes to call them quizzes because it makes it less intimating but in reality, it's a test over the two books we read this semester. I completely bombed the first "quiz" but I bounced back and now sitting at an 89.91% in the class.

(P.S. Aggie does NOT round so I need extra prayers I don't miss more than two points to get an A.) 

This class will forever hold a place in my heart and I think my favorite part was the fact every single class was different and unexpected. Whether we were learning about dance moms, making a TikTok, wondering if Ca$h Money was going to show up or deciding which cruise to go on, this class was just FUN and I'm going to miss it next semester. The people brought a light to my life and always put a smile on my face.

I found a new love for blogging and I plan to keep this blog updated because I want to be able to remember everything. I realized blogging wasn't a chore to me and I want to do everything I can to make people laugh.

Lastly, Dr. Aggie is a queen and I'm convinced this class was my favorite because I met another person to be loud and obnoxious with. Aggie, you are my spirit animal and I'm so happy to keep bugging you for another year.

QUARANTINE ACTIVITIES

We have been in quarantine for six weeks and I'm still going strong with finding new activities to do each week. I know a lot of people are losing their minds so I hope some of my ideas are worth trying to relieve some stress.

Last week, I channeled my inner 10-year-old self with sidewalk chalk. Abby is on an arts and crafts kick and the weather is getting nice so we are spending a lot of time outside. We found really awesome and bright designs on Pinterest and wanted to try it out. We decorated the whole front sidewalk in rainbows and it was the perfect photo opportunity.

It was my friend's birthday and I wasn't able to celebrate with her because of social distancing so we went to her house and sent her a little message with the chalk. We said happy birthday through opposite sides of the sidewalk but I think it made her really happy and it give us an excuse to see different humans for once.

We also had a paint and sip night. One of the girls in the house is a going to be an art teacher so she was able to walk us through the night. The girls decided on painting their house in Ada, which is super meaningful to them so I loved the idea.

It was really fun to have a night dedicated to being together and all doing the same thing. The whole project took about three hours and this house is filled with perfectionists so you can imagine how slow it took us to draw, paint and sip.

I haven't been living in this house for very long but I participated in painting the house because I have made a lot of memories with the girls the past six weeks. I'm excited to look back on this painting and remember all the times during quarantine.

SOME GOOD NEWS

Last week, I wrote a blog about how my sister and I are filming a show called Some Good News Ada. We got the idea from John Krasinski and after posting our first episode, we have felt a lot of love and support from our friends and family.

We posted our first episode to Instagram and received feedback and amazing comments from a bunch of different people. We haven't heard from John Krasinski but there is still time! If you haven't had the chance to watch episode one, here is the link to check it out.

Episode one was really challenging. Abby and I didn't really know what we were doing and I was worried about people not liking the idea. It took us such a long time to set up and film, I was worried the rest of SGN episodes were going to be just as challenging.

But thankfully, episode two went a lot smoother and it didn't take us much time to film and edit. We were able to involve other people by making them our wildlife experts and meteorologists. Yes, we did a segment about the black swans on the tundra and a weather report.

I don't want to give too much away and I would rather have people watch the show than read about it in this blog but I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have enjoyed researching for SGN because I'm able to see what Northern students are doing and it's so cool to spread the good news.

Selfishly saying, one of my favorite aspects to this show is I'm able to do it with Abby. We have always been super close but quarantine has brought us together even more. I'm sure if you asked Abby, she wouldn't admit the same but that's ok (kinda, not really).

But in all seriousness, no matter how hard things get, there is always room for good news in the world. So here is my 10 second plug ...

If you have any good news or know of someone with good news, please reach out to @SomeGoodNews_Ada on Instagram and share with us! We would love to feature you on the show and spread positivity throughout the university.

SCHOOL WHILE QUARANTINE

We are one month down of being in quarantine and I'm very excited for it to be over and have school be done. Online classes started about four weeks ago and it was a huge adjustment. I've mentioned I'm a enneagram type one, which means I'm very organized, structured and don't like it when my routine gets messed up. So you can imagine how anxious and worried I was when all this started happening.

I had a lot of things changing with classes, basketball and my social life so I had to quickly adapt and get on a new routine. I figured out my life for basketball and friends. My basketball team is doing zoom workouts three days and week. And I'm loving my life here with my housemates doing fun quarantine activities.

For school, I have to find motivation to get my stuff done and it is really hard because the weather is starting to get nicer. I am taking five classes this semester and only two of them I have to go to via zoom.

All of my professors are helpful and consistent when it comes to the syllabus so the classes aren't changing too much. I really miss going to class because I was able to see all my friends and professors. I enjoy talking a lot during class and one of my professors enjoys muting me on zoom so it's basically the same thing.

As you know, I'm living with four other girls and three of them are the same major and we have the same professors but just different classes. So sometimes I sit in on their classes so I can talk to the professors and I have learned different things by listening in on those zoom calls.

Once I adjusted to the online school, I was good to go but I really do miss seeing people's faces every day. I'm hopeful school will start in the fall so some of my professors don't have the power to mute me.

ONU SPORTS TAKES ON A TIK TOK CHALLENGE

Last week was D3 week for all student-athletes and the week was filled with stories and photos of student-athletes at Ohio Northern. It was really cool to see athletes show their love for the school and the prompts for each day were different. I was able to participate on the Friday prompt of #ONUGivesBack.

I talked about the time when I had the opportunity to participate in the 2nd and 7 Foundation, which promotes reading by providing free books to kids in need. I loved being able to contribute to this program because it allowed me to pay it forward and be a positive role model. Getting to see the elementary students and answering questions was a great experience and this was my favorite volunteering service as an ONU athlete.

The other day my friend, Katie Wade, reached out to me about doing a Tik Tok dance with an athlete on every sports team at Northern. We wanted to post the Tik Tok dance to wrap up D3 week and it was really fun getting everyone together to participate in it. The rules of the dance were the last dance move had to be the first dance move of the next person.

I give Katie all the credit on this, she really crushed the project and the final cut looks amazing! She posted the Tik Tok to Twitter and it started blowing up! Everyone loved it and it was a great wrap up to D3 week for Ohio Northern student-athletes.

If you want to check out the Tik Tok, please click here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
