One More Time With Feeling: The Beginning of Senior Year

(Photo of myself from the first day of Senior Year / Michael Gallagher)

Welcome back! This blog has not been active in quite a while for my own personal reasons in almost a year. Now that I have been given a reason to begin blogging again I can catch you all up on what has happened since December of 2022.

Since the last blog I made in December of 2022 there have been multiple things that happened in my life. Chronologically first and foremost I turned 21-years-old! I was able to take a whole weekend off and make a trip up to a casino in Niagara Falls. I have never been to a casino before so getting to experience one with my family was a treat. Unfortunately I walked away losing money like most people, but I was not too pressed about it. My brother however, walked away with over $1000 in profit! I found a pattern in a digital poker machine that I got bored with so I  told him about it and walked away. That was a big mistake on my part, but in the end I still had a great weekend with my family.

The other biggest thing that has happened in my life is that I finished junior year of college. My junior year of college was probably my hardest yet in terms of workload across all my responsibilities. I took on leadership in my fraternity, I was a resident assistant in my hall (and later got a promotion), and I was taking the most credits I have taken since freshman year. While I did end the year with all A's it took a lot of effort to get there.

Now I am beginning my senior year of college. Since my major is not engineering or pharmacy this will be my last year at Ohio Northern University. It is a bittersweet experience because I am excited to be done and actually have a full senior year, but at the same time it will be sad to leave this whole place behind. But for now I have eight months to make it the best year yet. Here we go!

ONU Blog: I Made Fudge!

 So if you know me well you'd know that I like to cook and bake. And if you don't know me...well now you know I like to cook. I can't always cook with my schedule and lack of money, but when I can I love to make complex and rewarding dishes. Salmon cakes, roasted Brussel sprouts, garlic crusted mac & cheese and more. But above all else I have a sweet tooth and love to make desserts. One of my favorite desserts to make is fudge. Fudge is a very simple recipe but highly modifiable and enjoyable. Many recipes mark themselves as "3 ingredient fudge" where the only ingredients are chocolate, condensed milk, and vanilla. While this basic combination is delicious on its own there is much more depth to be added. And that is half the fun of cooking and baking, experimenting! Try adding ingredients you would use in other recipes like brown sugar or almond extract. Or try something wild like lemon juice or potato chips. I've tried multiple combos both "original

ONU Blog: Live Coverage of Homecoming Football

 Over the weekend I had the pleasure of being in the best seat in the house for ONU's homecoming football game. I work for the team filming clips and plays for review at a later date. Because of that I get to stand in the scoreboard endzone and see plays head-on. I can also zoom in and see plays up close with my special camera.  My viewpoint from the endzone So with this in mind I decided to live tweet the event from my viewpoint! I could get in close and see everything in more detail than anybody. This was an interesting challenge as I had to quickly swap between using the camera and tweeting while making sure I didn't miss a play. In the end I was able to tweet a lot more than I thought I could and get coverage for every single quarter to Twitter. I hope I can find more opportunities to do something like this in the future. If you want to see my string of live tweets, check out my school Twitter account below. https://twitter.com/BlogBuddy99

ONU Blog: It's The Little Things

I have always been one to appreciate little things. Tiny gifts? Love 'em. Small dogs? They have my heart. Bite-sized snacks? Easy pick. Short people? They're more on my level becasue I'm short for a guy! But what I more mean by "little things" is small details about everyday life. Things that people don't always pay attention to much. Those things mean the world to me.  When you're the kind of person who always try's to acknowledge the smallest details, when someone does the same it means so much. That is the boat I'm in. Many people I've met simply try to see the big picture of it all and leave the small things to be smoothed over. But when I approach something I try to take it piece by piece. Each piece may be small, but with time those small pieces make something big! It takes more time than blanket approach attitudes, but I've always been a "quality over quantity" person. For example, gifts. Big and impressive gifts are nice a
