Final Year at ONU Kicks off Without a Hitch

 


Hi there. My Name is Cross De La Cruz, and I am writing this blog to talk about my life in my senior year at Ohio Northern University. It’s my fourth year here in the big village of Ada, and I can say that this place might just be heaven on earth. That was nearly solidified this summer as I worked at the local bar Tavern 101. As a bartender there I learned new skills and met many kind people. I also learned that old men like their coffee sweet and never bring an old lady jelly without asking what kind she’d like.

 

This is also my fourth and final year as a Football player both at ONU and ever in the rest of my life. I am proud of many things that I have accomplished so far. I have lettered in varsity every year, I am a perennial special teams starter and I caught a reverse kickoff in midair, so even though my time as a player has never been that glamorous or eventful it has been worth every second. This year is looking to be possibly the best year yet. We kicked off the season with a scrimmage at Trine University in Angola Ohio where it seemed everyone on the team is looking to make massive strides. Hopefully these strides are long enough to take us to the OAC championship this year.

Week 2 Begins without a Hitch

  Hey there again! Week two at Ohio Northern has come and go without a hitch. Classes are in full swing, and I am already tuckered out. Honestly though, it’s exciting to be back in the groove of schoolwork and the social life that comes with college living. As far as classes go, I am getting started on my senior thesis Capstone Project where I will be tracing the history of the past 30 years to find out where we are and where we will go. In athletic news, The Polar Bears of ONU are making a trek this Saturday to Michigan to face off against ranked 16 opponent Alma College. It’s a big game to start the season, but I believe the Polar Bears have what it takes to shutdown the Scots. Finally, In work news, Tavern 101 is a bipolar restaurant in the fact that it is either super busy packed or a lifeless restaurant with amazing pancakes. Though this is the case, I find that the crazy moments make me appreciate the days we are dead, and the dead days make me appreciate when we are packed to th

Chapter 12 Blog

  Chapter 12 right after chapter 1, that means whoever wrote the textbook was just about as scatter-brained as I am. All joking aside I must admit, this is my first blog that I have regularly kept up with, which isn’t saying much since it is only week 2. Through the textbook I am learning a great many things I don’t think I even really thought about before.  I thought Chapter 12 was interesting, it talked of blogs and their history, a bit about other social media like podcasts and vlogs, though I was shocked to learn that blogs were very popular even back in the 1990’s and that 77% of users of the internet read blogs.  Yet, I was not shocked that the most blogged about topic is fashion given that everyone wants to look good, and the people that do look good are kind enough to share that information with the rest of us.
