School Activities After Thanksgiving Break

Image
By

(This was written on the Monday returning from Thanksgiving break)

My Thanksgiving break was uneventful and sadly lacking in productivity. I was supposed to finished three big assignments and only got one part of one of the assignments done. My focus was on two school events I planned on participating in this week. This is my final year at ONU and I plan to leave with as little regrets as possible.

The first event is on Wednesday. It is the talent show. I adore public and performative speaking. This event was the perfect time to take advantage to do the only form of public speaking I had left: stand up comedy. I am humiliated to say this is the second most daunting public speaking form I have done. The greatest and the most poor job I have done was open microphone poetry reading. I compared my abilities to my classmates here at ONU and the other older writers sitting around me. I cannot speak quickly this time. I get ten minutes. Going to a comedy club over Thanksgiving break helped me brainstorm material. It will be tricky to be relatable to people I do not know. I am not one to be confident but public speaking is the only thing I committed to on my own and it is an activity where my parents are proud of me. 

The other event I plan on participating in is on Friday. It is the lipsync battle. I always dress up and plan to dress in the same outfit I wore freshman year and add a couple more accessories. I am not going to say any more about this topic because I am afraid I will either sound rude or depressed. I know it will be confusing for you when I throw those emotions out there. All I’ll say along those lines is please come and if there is a student vote category please vote for me. I think the entry for students is $3 and both dollars and coins count for a vote.

    I can't imagine the day I graduate from university. I think even if I'm doing my best I would regret something not doing in school. However, at the same time I think evryone won't regret doing something that needs more energy. I hope you will win!!!

The Pond

By
The pond as seen from the back of the Freed Center Behind the Freed Center there is a pond. For some odd reason, it is also referred to as a lake. I wonder if those that call it a lake have ever seen an actual lake before. The pond is not just a body of water for show. The pond gives a home to animals as well. Ducks, geese, swans, and surprisingly some fish are able to make homes. The birds are only comfortable in the area in the warm weather, so you may pass quicker than usual and step anywhere on the sidewalk without your shoes bringing along anything smelly and unpleasant. Until then, keep an eye on the ground. Not only are the animals in danger from the cold weather, the poor judgement of the Ada community can kill them. It’s obvious that feeding the animals who live at the pond is dangerous for both the human and the animal. It does not matter what food you Google or already know is safe for them to eat. Animals need to keep up their strength naturally. It’s no wonder that the gee

Who's Writing This Blog?

By
Hello there! My name is Kate Benedict. I'm a senior studying Writing and Multimedia Studies along with Creative Writing. In honesty, I have no idea what I want to do for a career. To lighten the pressure from others, I grabbed at the straw of video game narrative writing. I've been speaking with professionals in the industry, but my head is spinning from what is required of me to pursue that path. But, I would rather live my life with a fun job at the risk of my comfort than being secure and miserable forever.  Along with my enjoyment of writing, I also like participating in geek culture. I love attending various conventions in all different states. For the conventions, I am very careful and detailed when choosing costumes. I tend to choose characters to whom I relate to. Referring to the picture below, I am dressed as the character Shinso Hirotoshi from the animated show My Hero Academia .  Me (far left) and two friends attending Matsuricon Ohio 2022 With convention tickets co

Housing: Stadium View West Apartments

By
The front of the Stadium View West apartments. Receiving enough academic credits gives a student the right to choose to live in an apartment, still on campus of course. With Lakeview apartments being somewhat difficult to sign up for, you might settle for Stadium View. Based on personal experience, here are some factors to consider when making your housing choice.  1. The Smell When entering the apartment building, new noses might catch an unpleasant whiff. Stepping into a room, however, smells like my most hungry dog farted for a week straight. To help, place an air freshener or exercise dulling your sense of smell.  2. The Apartment Food Plan Unlike the dorms, students who live in the apartments are not required to purchase a meal plan. Instead, students are automatically given 400 dining dollars. With these, students can purchase food from anywhere on campus. Students can still add a meal plan with the 400 dining dollars, but the meal plans still cost the same price when put on your
