Finals Week

    Now that we are ending the semester, we have finals week coming up just next week. This is a week that many people now can be very stressful. In the past semesters, I have usually had very stressful finals weeks. Usually most of my classes we would have an exam and a few times I have had a paper to go along with it. To go along with the stress I often find myself procrastinating my studying or writing a paper which only adds to the stress. Thankfully, I do not have any papers this semester, and most of my exams should be pretty easy. I have also been able to keep up with my assignments for all my classes so for this dead week I have had a pretty easy week as well. 

    Looking back on this semester I would say it was one of the easier ones that I have had but also one of the longest. For some reason, this semester has seemed to go by slowly. I believe that it has gone by slowly because not much has gone on this semester. Besides football, I feel that I haven't done much else this semester which I believe has caused the semester to be one of the least enjoyable semesters I have had. It definitely wasn't bad but it was one of the more boring semesters. I was able to enjoy most of my classes as they were all pretty easy and I felt that I had learned a lot from them. I believe that one of my favorite classes was actually this class, social media. Social media is a minor that I had just added and did not know what to expect. I felt that the class was a good introduction to what is to come and I feel that I was able to learn a lot through the class. 
    
    Looking ahead after finals we are able to go back home and enjoy Christmas break for a little over a month. I am excited and ready to go back home and get to enjoy time off from school and get to go home and enjoy more time with friends and family. With the holidays coming up it will be nice to get to spend that time with family and get to start the new year off right. I know that many people will have New Year's resolutions and it is something that I usually don't do. I feel that New Year resolutions are most of the time goals that people will forget in just a few weeks and many of the goals tend to be unrealistic. I am however excited to get into 2025 and see what the year has in store for me!

Senior Year!

      As we start our first week of classes, it brings a lot of excitement and emotions. I am now a senior here at Ohio Northern, and looking back, it has gone a lot faster than I could've expected. From being a freshman who had no idea what he was getting himself into, to now being a senior trying to enjoy every last moment of my last year. Just four years ago, I didn't know how much I would come to love this university and the memories that I would make from it. Ohio Northern has brought me lots of friends and good times that will last a lifetime.     If I were asked to give an underclassman advice, I would tell them to enjoy every moment and try new things. As a member of the football team, I feel that being involved in it has helped me meet many different people and experience amazing memories with them. Whether it is a sport or a club, make sure to get involved in something where you can meet new people. I would also say to try new things. Don't be afraid t...

Bye Week

     Going into last Saturday's matchup against Heidelberg, we knew how much this game meant not only because it was Senior Day, but because we were coming off a tough loss the week before. The feeling all week in practice was that we had something to prove. We wanted to show everyone what Ohio Northern football really is.      From the first snap, there was a different energy on the field. Our defense was able to set the tone early, flying around and making big stops, and the offense fed off that momentum. We executed the game plan the way we knew we could, hitting some big plays and running the ball well. Every drive felt like we were building toward something bigger, and when we were able to take a 19-7 lead going into halftime, we felt pretty confident that we could continue that going into the second half.       What stood out most was how complete a team effort it was. Every position group stepped up, special teams pinned Heidelber...

Week 5

     Last Saturday’s game at Wilmington was a reminder of what we already knew about playing in the OAC: there are no easy wins. We came away with the victory, but it was a much tighter game than we expected, 41-35. Credit to Wilmington; they played with a lot of fight and pushed us for the four full quarters. Even though we weren’t as sharp as we wanted to be in certain areas, we stayed together as a team, made plays when needed, and found a way to finish strong.      Games like that are humbling in the best way. They show us that no matter who the opponent is, we can’t take anything for granted. We have to bring our best every single week. The margin between winning and losing in this conference is small, and last Saturday proved that once again.      Now our focus turns to one of the biggest challenges on our schedule: Homecoming against Marietta. There’s already a lot of energy on campus with Homecoming week, but having a matchup like thi...
