Easter Break, Here I Come

-

We are officially two days away from Easter Break! Technically only one day because I'm leaving after work on Thursday, but we're almost there. It's hard to believe that once we're back from break there will only be three weeks left of school before finals week. But, that is the furthest thing from my mind right now because I'm so excited to go home and see my family! All three of my sisters will be home this weekend plus my niece and nephew, so it'll be a full house, which I prefer. Family can be a lot sometimes and I'm sure they'll drive me crazy in the three short days I'll be home, but I love when we're all able to get together. When you're the youngest child, you don't cherish those moments when all of your siblings still live with you and when they move out it gets so lonely. It feels even more lonely now that I'm also moved out and two hours away from home. So the times when we can all be in one house for even a weekend are the moments I most appreciate. 

Not only will I be seeing my family this weekend, but also my best friends from home that I haven't hung out with since last summer! We all go to separate colleges and have different breaks a lot of the time, so it can be extremely hard to find times to hang out. Especially now that we all work in the summer. This weekend we have plans to go see the Minecraft movie together, which I'm super excited about. I almost wish this break would be a little longer so I had more time with them because I'll probably only be able to hang out with them for one day. However, I'm grateful for even one day with them. 

Other than hanging with my friends and family this weekend, I am also going to try to finish reading my book. Maybe even two books, who knows? Right now I'm reading the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi and I'm only about 100 pages in. They're not super long books, so I'm optimistic that I'll get through at least two. However, I also need to make some time for homework, even though that's probably my last priority this weekend. 

I know that I'll be home soon for the summer, but I'm somewhat of a homebody and love to be around my parents. Either way, I'm super excited to be home and to be able to sleep in my brand new queen sized bed! A bed my parents handed down to me after their bedroom renovations. I'll do my best to cherish this weekend with my friends and family. Happy Easter everyone!

    That's so exciting that you'll be able to spend time with your family. My brothers are both busy at their colleges, so unfortunately we can't see each other. I'm so ready for break and a chance to sleep in though. I hope you have an incredible time with your family, friends, and books!

Here We Go Again: Second Semester

-
Image
I just completed my first week back at Ohio Northern University and let's just say, the start of my second semester hasn't been entirely graceful. I'm really glad to be back, but I think I got a little too used to being home and doing literally nothing all day. I've realized after this first week, that I have completely overloaded my schedule and it will probably only get worse. One thing I'm really excited about though is that I started rehearsals for the Spring play we're putting on in February! The only sucky thing about that is I'm in rehearsals from 6pm to 10pm almost everyday of the week (besides Sunday) so finding time to do school work should be super fun...full sarcasm.  An accurate depiction of me after the first week of classes and rehearsals: I am definitely Type A so my planner is obviously updated with everything going on in my life, which has been super helpful, but doesn't lessen the stress in any way. This one week has felt like four we...

Calling All Readers, It's Time To Talk Books

In all my nineteen years of living, I have never considered myself an avid reader until just about a year ago when my roommate decided to give me a fantasy book to read called Furyborn. In short, my life was changed. After that, I read that whole series and went on to the trilogies of Caraval, Once Upon A Broken Heart, and Fourth Wing. I think it's pretty clear at this point that my favorite genre is fantasy because let's be honest, who wouldn't want to read about worlds that have magical kingdoms with faerie guards who ride on dragons and an assassin love interest? Okay, maybe not everyone, but I personally love it. I used to only read romance before I got into fantasy, but now looking back at some of the books I've read, they're just so two dimensional and, in my opinion, lack the depth and world building that fantasy excels at. I'm looking at you Icebreaker...if you know you know. I also just prefer when the main character has other goals to achieve other tha...

Breaking News, There's A Tik Tok Takeover

-
In a world where traditional news outlets are fighting to keep the attention of younger audiences, TikTok has emerged as an unexpected but powerful player in the realm of news outreach. What started off as a platform for dance trends and funny videos has rapidly evolved into the go-to source of information for millions, specifically Gen Z.  The transformation didn’t happen overnight, but it’s undeniable. Scroll through TikTok today, and in between comedy skits and beauty tutorials, you’ll find users breaking down Supreme Court rulings, live streaming debates or providing real-time updates on global events. Whether it’s the war in Ukraine or political scandals, TikTok users get it all with a few quick scrolls and searches.  There are a few reasons why this method of receiving news works: 1. Traditional news can feel overwhelming. TikTok thrives on being concise, offering digestible updates that fit seamlessly into a world that gravitates toward short attention spans. 2.  ...
