Check-In Before Spring Break

It is finally time for spring break! I am so excited for this much needed time off. I decided that this week would feel extremely long when just Monday felt like three days combined into one. Monday and Tuesday were extremely busy for me but now it is just going to classes which is not too difficult. Tuesday I gave my second speech in my presentational speaking class. I was nervous for it because I had been procrastinating working and practicing on it but I noticed I was less nervous to actually do the speech. That is an improvement from my first speech when I was just nervous to speak in front of my class. This speech we were able to have a visual aid which helped. Plus I gave my speech on social media marketing and the effects it has on society so I felt comfortable about what I was talking about. I am happy to say it went pretty well. It was not perfect but I felt like I have made improvements since my first speech about a month ago. Now it is time to just get through classes and ahead on some work to make my life easier after break. 

I do not have too many specific plans for the week which I am totally fine with. I look forward to having no agenda and just getting anything done around home or even getting ahead on homework. Most importantly I cannot wait to just have time to relax.

 I am starting my spring break slightly early as I will be going home Thursday after classes. My family hosts a fundraiser to support breast cancer awareness every year in the month of March. This year it is this Saturday March 8th. I am going home a day early to help prepare and get everything ready. We typically have about two hundred family members and friends come out and support so it is a pretty big event. This is our sixth year doing it so luckily I think I am naturally prepared enough and I have been able to get things ready while being away at college since I am not at home helping my family prepare. I am so excited for this event and I am especially excited to see so many people I have not seen in a long time. 

After all the craziness of this coming weekend I do not have too many other specific plans. Something I am surprisingly excited for is to do a good closet clean out. I was home last weekend and was looking through my closet when I realized I have way too many clothes in there that I never wear anymore. So I am oddly excited to go through everything in there and my room in general to get it all nice and organized. I kind of feel old when I think about how I am actually excited to do that but oh well. I hope everyone has a great break with time to get away from school for a little bit.

    Hi Mckenna! It sounds like you had a busy couple of days, and I can totally relate to that. It's nice to know spring break is right around the corner. I hope you have a good break, and good luck with your closet!

Galentine's Weekend!

Image
 This past Saturday was Valentine's Day but I celebrated Galentine's Day instead. On Friday, Alpha Xi had a Galentine's Day party. This was such a great event where we had card making and a small gift game. There were snacks and little desserts that were delicious. So many girls were there so it was really nice to catch up with everyone all together and as always there were so many fun stories and laughs all night. Sometimes it is rare to find a time for all of us to be at the same place all at once. When so many of us were able to come to this it was exciting. All of us were excited to relax and of course dress up in pink and red and take cute pictures.  On Saturday I originally had plans to go to Ohio State University where one of my closest friends goes to school. I planned to visit and hangout with her. But, Friday my car began to have a couple issues and the check engine light came on which made me a bit nervous. I immediately called my dad (because I know nothing abou...

Greek Week 2026

Image
From the very first day of recruitment this past fall everyone I talked to involved in Greek Life mentioned Greek Week. The time has finally come and this entire week every day has an event that each chapter participates in. Then it all leads to the final day on Saturday which is Greek Olympics. On Monday it started off with Greek Sing. This is where each chapter performs a song and dance routine. The sororities go up against each other and the same for fraternities. I was nervous at first because it would be my first time ever performing at Greek Sing and also because our pledge class had our own section to perform and we had only realized the practice before some of the beats for our dance section were hard to hear. This means it would be very difficult to stay on our original timing. Luckily once we got out there we knew we just needed to do our best and have fun. I think it went well and everyone did their best. My favorite part was the ending when we all went in the center and did...

Wrapping up my First Greek Week

Image
My first Greek Week was a whirlwind to say the least. The entire week was full of events. I only participated in two events the entire week starting with Greek Sing at the beginning of the week and then at Greek Olympics on Saturday where I participated in dodgeball. The rest of the events during the week I was able to go and watch and cheer on my friends. It was fun to watch and get pictures of everything going on. Luckily I did not have a large amount of schoolwork to do so I could focus on creating content and getting posts out for the Panhel Instagram.  Saturday came around which was Greek Olympics. We had to be at the Alpha Xi house at 9:00am but I went at 8:15am to get my hair braided. It was an early morning but everyone was getting excited for the day to come. The only downside was that it began to rain and proceeded to rain the entire time. Fortunately it was not too cold but it was windy and rainy. That did not stop us from continuing the day full of events. Alpha Xi did...
