Stuntin' in Cheer

One of my favorite things to do here at Ohio Northern University (ONU) is cheer. I have been involved in cheer and gymnastics for as long as I can remember, and I love it just as much now. All through high school I was a base (someone on the bottom of the stunt lifting the flyer by her feet), but when I transferred here, I became a flyer. I love flying more than anything and I still get to base in some stunts, but the adrenaline of being thrown in the air is my favorite.

We had practice last night, like we do every Monday and Wednesday, but last night we did my favorite stunt for the first time this year and it was a success. The stunt is called Nip Tuck. In Nip Tuck I am holding on to two girls, one girl holds one arm, while they are in a normal one level stunt on the side. Then my stunt group throws me in the air, I do a back flip, then they catch me standing in the stunt. The picture shows the ending product after the stunt.
One of my favorite things to do as a flyer is flip in the air, and because I get so high flipping in this stunt, it's my favorite.

Because we are still kind of early in the season still, we don't have all of our stunts yet. This means we typically get a new stunt almost every practice and it's always exciting. Right now, we have 14 stunts, and by the end of the season we should have over 20.

So, if you make it to any home football or men's basketball games make sure you check out some of the cool stunts we are doing. Hopefully we will have more every game.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
