Three Ideas for How to Spend Valentines Day at Ohio Northern University

-

Valentine's Day is coming up so soon! As a broke college student with no idea how to spend the most romantic day of the year in Ada, Ohio, I decided to investigate and come up with great ways to spend Valentine's Day with your special someone while saving money and staying around Ohio Northern University (ONU).

1) Take Advantage of Sodexo's Offer

In case you didn't know, Sodexo is the provider of ONU's food options. This Valentine's Day they offer the students at ONU a fancy dinner experience. This meal has multiple courses and all of the foods sound seasoned and tasty, unlike a lot of the other food Sodexo has to offer. Every once in a while, Sodexo really pulls through with some good food and this is one of those opportunities. The price is a little steep with the meal costing 20 dining dollars. However, if you are looking for a way to bring excitement to your Valentine's Day without spending actual money then this is a great option. The sign-up sheet with instructions on how to take advantage of this offer is still up in the McIntosh Dining Hall.

2) Take a Trip to Viva Maria's

What is more classically romantic than a date at an Italian restaurant? Viva Maria's is a great place to eat in Ada. They offer a wide variety of food including classic appetizers, wings, salads, pastas, pizzas, subs, burgers, wraps, desserts and (if you are of the legal age) a nice selection of beers and wines. You can check out the full menu by clicking here. All of their food is pretty affordable and it is all delicious. My favorite part about Viva Maria's is how they serve such giant proportions of food that even I, master of overeating, can't finish a plate of food there, so I get to take home really tasty leftovers.

3) A Relaxing Night in with Pizza and a Tour of Campus

According to the weather app on my phone, it is supposed to be a lovely day tomorrow with the temperatures being in the mid-to-high 40's. This is the perfect weather take a nice walk around the Green Monster with your special person and see a beautiful Ada sunset at approximately 6:09 p.m., so I would recommend starting your walk around 5:45 p.m. After this nice stroll around campus you can get a pizza from Padrone's, the best pizza in Ada, and have a night in with your significant other and watch a cheesy rom-com on Netflix. Most people already have Netflix, and if you don't you can ask a friend to borrow theirs. This date is essentially achievable with a budget of around $10 and is a great way to make the most out of being a broke student at ONU.

    Padrones is the absolutely perfect way to spend Valentines Day. I love how all of these options provide cheap money options. Like you said, we are broke. I even would put on their that I romantic home cooked meal could be a great idea! Many people have apartments with full sized kitchens so doing something homemade is always a great option! Loved this!

    I like your suggestion! I should have read your blog before Valentine day because your plan is really good. How much it costs is always my concerns so your ideas are not expensive and sounds fun so I love it! I have never seen sunset in ONU so I will try on sunny day!

An Easter Snapchat Review

In my house, Easter is a time to get together with extended family members. If you're anything like me you can only take so much of this. You must understand, I do love my family and I am very glad that I got to see all of them, but when you wake up at 8 a.m. for church and then don't stop seeing family until 6 p.m, it takes its toll on you. As an extremely weary millennial, I turned to the aide of social media to distract and comfort me. After checking up on my Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr pages, I hopped on over to my favorite new platform: Snapchat. It appears that Snapchat threw quite the Easter party on their app featuring challenges and many fun filters. For this week's social media blog post I am going to review some of these special features, so sit down with your remaining Easter candy and enjoy! The Great Snapchat Egg Hunt Inspired by the Pok é mon Go craze of a couple years ago, Snapchat released one million decorative eggs to be discovered u

My Experience Being a Part of a Theatre's (Public Relations) Benefit

While some people spent their spring breaks going on cruises or taking vacations to some warm, sunny beach in the South Atlantic states, I spent my break rehearsing for and performing in a Cleveland theatre's annual benefit performance. The theatre I am referring to is Near West Theatre, and their last benefit was entitled, "40 Seasons of Love," and occurred on March 10, 2018. I have done three shows with this theatre since the summer of 2017. I was first involved with their production of Steven Sondheim's "Assassins," and instantly fell in love with the theatre and the people there. It was at this theatre I fell (deeper) in love with the art that is theatre and began to understand the impact it has on everyone involved. Whether you were a part of making the piece or if you were just in the audience, good pieces of theatre leave an impact on you. Following "Assassins," I was in their winter production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technic

An extremely talented group of ladies at Ohio Northern University (ONU) are less than a week away from opening the show, "The Wolves," by Sarah DeLappe. The show premiered off-Broadway at The Playwright's Realm in 2016. It was met with rave reviews and received a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in drama. DeLappe's new play was found last year on a website called, "New Play Exchange," by ONU acting professor, Brian Sage. After contacting DeLappe's agents, Sage was able to put the play in the 2017-2018 season. ONU is one of the first places to put on this piece since the New York City premiere. The show is summarized by the New Play Exchange's website with the following:  " A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nin
