Last Blog Post of the Semester

-


     I can hardly believe that the semester is almost over and this will be my final blog post for the semester. It feels like it went by so quickly and it was definitely a busy one. I managed to handle the workload by putting in a lot of hard work and also making sure to have some fun along the way. Throughout this semester, I discovered a lot about myself and what truly motivates me to do my best work. I also found myself enjoying classes that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did. One class that stood out to me was Principles of Social Media, where I got to immerse myself in the world of social media and complete assignments on platforms like Pinterest, Twitter (X) and even podcasting. Starting this blog was also a highlight for me, as I thoroughly enjoyed the process. However, there were ups and downs throughout the blogging journey. Some weeks it was easier to come up with topics to write about, especially when I had busy weekends during my cross country season. Writing about my favorite parts of each week allowed me to reflect on the beauty of spending time with loved ones, achieving personal goals, celebrating the successes of others and even managing my stressful workload. The blogging process also helped me connect with my classmates and share my experiences with my family, who often struggle to keep up with my busy life. I hope to continue blogging in the future because it brings me so much joy, even on days when I struggle to come up with a topic. Simply writing and expressing my thoughts about moments in my life is a positive and fulfilling experience for me.

    In my final note on blogging, I'd like to offer some valuable tips for aspiring bloggers. One effective strategy is to create a list of topics you'd like to discuss throughout the week. This way, when it's time to write your blog post, you'll have a wealth of information at your fingertips. Avoid procrastinating until the last minute, as this will hinder your ability to produce your best work and underestimate the time required. Additionally, make good use of the feedback you receive on each blog post to improve your future content and eliminate any minor errors. Lastly, view blogging as an enjoyable opportunity to share the details of your week or a specific moment. Reflecting on both the positive and negative experiences can greatly enhance your overall growth and learning. 

    I'm almost at the finish line for this semester! I've got three projects and a paper to wrap up, and then I'll be done. Graduation is just one step closer! As I wrap things up, I'll also be on the lookout for internships and applying for them. Then, it's time for Christmas break! I absolutely adore Christmas and I'm eagerly looking forward to spending quality time with my family and reconnecting with friends who will be back home. This semester has been a valuable learning experience, and I can't wait to put my newfound knowledge into practice next semester.

Sunsets + Friends

        There's a spot on campus that I absolutely adore. It's on the west side, where the ground is flat and the corn fields seem to stretch on forever, leading your gaze to the horizon line. It's the perfect place to watch the sun set into the night, and let me tell you, it's a sight to see. The colors are simply breathtaking - the red and orange hues blend into pinks and purples, while the bright blue sky provides the perfect backdrop. As I watch the breathtaking sunset, I can’t help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me. The clouds are so fluffy and the colors blend together in perfect harmony, creating a texture that is always so mesmerizing. I love to take photos on my camera of the amazing sites, always trying to capture the warm light of the sun as it slowly dips below the horizon, illuminating every detail of the scene before me. From the towering trees to the power lines in the distance, every component is visible, and the reflection of the water from p

Back to School!

Welcome to my first blog post!!      Here we go again! The feeling of being back on campus is like a breath of fresh air. We are all so excited to see each other and catch up on our summers. Taking a look back at the fun times we had when we were school free. There are so many familiar faces as well as many new ones. My classes start next week, but I'm back early for Cross Country. We get to move in early for Cross Country camp week. Getting settled early always beats the rush of people flocking in with their lives packed into a few cars. Moving in with my three roommates was a blast! We spent hours decorating our apartment, making it the perfect cozy and colorful space to call home for the next nine months. But let's be real, it was also a bit stressful. With all the furniture, decor, and personal belongings to organize, we definitely had our work cut out for us.  I am a junior this year. That is definitely blowing my mind! As I reflect on the past two years of college, I can&

Denison XC Race!

        Last weekend was a thrilling one for me as I took part in my first cross country race of my junior season at Denison! I have been nursing a back injury for three weeks, which meant I had to do a lot of cross training and easy runs while incorporating speed workouts on our anti-gravity treadmill. Despite the setback, I was determined to make the most of the race by using it as a workout. My plan was to run with a slower pace group and treat it as a progression run, where I would gradually increase my speed with each mile and maintain it until the finish line. Since I hadn't done any on-ground workouts before the race, I saw it as an opportunity to prepare myself for the rest of the season.      As I stood at the start line, my heart was pounding with excitement. Finally, I was back in the game after missing out on the first meet. The sound of the gun going off was like music to my ears, and my body and mind were in perfect sync. I started off at a steady pace, but as my adre
