Before I tell you about my awesome weekend, let me begin by introducing myself:
Name: Mackenzie Conway
Majors: English, Psychology
Hometown: Marion, Ohio
Activities: Tennis and Delta Gamma
Last weekend was a true glimpse into what OWU means to me! I love when the sun is shining here at OWU because I swear it makes everyone so much happier. People break away from their warm beds and shut their textbooks to venture into the sunshine and partake in all sorts of activities.
Bright and early Saturday morning the Women's Tennis Team (that would be me) had a match against Wittenburg. The match started at 10:00 am and lasted until about 1:30pm. It was a great morning for tennis and nice to be playing on our home courts (even if there is a bit of construction in the view). We all fought hard but unfortunately we lost. I love being on the tennis team because it really makes

me feel like I am a part of something at this school: I am a doubles partner, a member of the team, and a student athlete! As a tennis team we all get along really well and have a lot of fun when at practice as well as matches.
As the afternoon continued I was torn between heading over to catch the end of the softball game or making my way to the fraternity hill for Kappa Alpha Theta's philanthropy event: Kats and Bats. It is an annual softball tournament for different campus groups and organizations to participate in. I decided the go cheer on my Delta Gamma team with the full intention to make it back to the softball field for the 2nd game which would start at 3:00pm.
I cannot tell you have much I loved seeing everyone outside participating and having fun at Kats and Bats. Theta did a great job with the event and it was fun watching my DG sisters along with friends from other organizations both hits home runs and strike out. Weekends that pull students from different groups together are exactly what everything at OWU is about! Greek philanthropy events are a perfect example of this.
Exhausted from the tennis match, I knew I had to relax for a least an hour before getting ready for my sorority formal that night. I popped in a movie (red box is a college student's ticket to relaxation!) and took a short nap .
Dinner at a local Delaware restaurant (1808)was really fun and then it was off to the dance which lasted until about 12:45 am....it was bedtime for me! Between tennis, a sunburn, laughing with/at poor softball abilities, and a great dinner/dancing date, I was ready to call it a night.
Sunday arrived before I was ready and I headed to a classic Delaware staple: The Hamburger Inn for breakfast. With the upcoming week I planned to study and work on a paper that was due the next morning....but of course the sun was shining! It is so hard to do school work when the weather is nice and I want to be outside having fun with Friends. I ended up not getting to the library until after some evening meetings around 9:30pm. It was time to finish my paper! Late Sunday nights in the Ohio Wesleyan Library! Oh the joys of school.....
