I'll Miss You, Avon, OH, But Won't Ever Forget That You Built Me

Won't take nothing but a memory.

I'll Miss You, Avon, OH, But Won't Ever Forget That You Built Me
Facebook

I've lived in the city of Avon, Ohio since I was one year old. I know it's weird to say I've lived here for almost my entire life minus one year because my first year of living was spent in an apartment in Westlake when it was just me, my parents, and a cat that we would eventually have to put down. We lived in this one house for seven years until we moved into the one I currently live in.

In the development next door.

I know that's probably odd, but I was only in second grade.

The church that I'm a part of, St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception, is located there and I've spent seven years going there for PSR and played CYO basketball and volleyball.

I've played little league here, and basketball on the middle school team. I did soccer like a majority of the kids who are my age did when we were in preschool. I was in the high school marching band all four years of high school.

There have been numerous people that have come and gone in my life, and while I know that I will meet new people in my life while in college these people that I met in Avon, whether they were neighbors, teachers, coworkers, or friends, will all have an impact on the person that I am.

There are also places that just make this town feel more...homey to me. Whether it be the local library, the Dairy Mart, or Dairy Treat, there are always places in a town that just make it feel like that is the reason your town is special.

Also, how can I not forget the coveted Duck Tape Festival? Just one whole weekend during Father's Day weekend where the town can get together and enjoy a little fair without having to go out of town. I know I've missed the festival a couple of times because of vacations, but I loved the Duck Tape Festival. However, the only thing I didn't like was marching in the parade with marching band because oh my god that was very hot.

But it makes for stories that I will be excited to tell people that I meet in my life.

I'll miss you, city of Avon, Ohio. Thank you for making me who I am and I'll be back for breaks in the future.

Go Eagles!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
