A Week in my Life

Hi everyone! I thought I’d switch up my content for a post and update you all on what I do every week. My last semester of my college senior year is a lot busier than I thought it would be. I’m an accounting major with minors in marketing and management and I have a part-time job at an accounting firm in Lima.


To start off my week, I wake up bright and early Monday morning at 7:30 am to get to my 8 am tax class. Right now, we are doing a self-study period where we work to get certified to complete taxes. ONU has a program called VITA, where residents of Ada (with simple tax returns) can come to campus and us students will complete the return for them! Next, I walk back to my house and honestly nap until my next class at 11 (which is not very productive). My 11 am is database management and we are learning how to import/export data into Microsoft Access and all the things you can do with said data. After my class, I walk home and eat lunch and drive to work. I get to work around 1:30 and stay til 5 or 5:30. Right now, I’m completing tax returns, wrapping up year-end transactions for a client and inputting data into software. This Monday schedule repeats on both Wednesday and Friday as well.

On Tuesday and Thursday, I get up around 9 to go to my social media class. For this class, I’ve started a blog, made a podcast (which you can find on my blog as well) and learned about the many ways to market to consumers on social media. After my class, I usually have a meeting because I’m a peer mentor for freshman business students. Next, I go to my HR management class at 12. We are learning about the equal opportunity act and affirmative action right now. After my management class, I walk next door to my marketing research class at 1:30. In this class, we research websites that provide big businesses with marketing insight and will have a chance to solve a problem for a company as our final project down the road. My day ends around 3, unless I have a meeting for Beta Alpha Psi (an accounting fraternity), any of my friends want to study with me, or I decide to go to a bible study (those are on Thursday nights).

After writing this blog, I’ve realized that I’m extremely busy. However, since it’s my last semester on campus, I have no regrets in joining all these activities and taking so many classes.

    This honestly was so motivating. Seeing how hard you work is inspiring because I'm only doing HALF of what you are and you still are able to be consistent even when things are tiring and maybe even stressful. Can't wait to see us both get that little piece of paper at the end of the year.

My Birthday Weekend Recap

 My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...

A Rundown of Accounting and My Future Career

I’m a senior accounting major and have not always liked accounting. I knew I wanted to major in something easy and that paid a lot, but didn’t do much research on what possible career paths could be from accounting or how many different opportunities were available to me as a business major. I originally thought accounting was keeping track of business transactions or doing taxes and after my first accounting class I almost changed my major. Accounting was not as easy as I expected and that discouraged me. However, I survived all four years of college and can safely say I have a better understanding of what I want to do for the rest of my life. I started off taking classes in college that taught me about software such as Quickbooks and SAP, managerial accounting (with an emphasis on manufacturing companies), financial accounting, auditing and most recently tax. My professors were very proactive in answering my questions and pushing me to get an internship to help narrow down what sec...

3 Places I Want to Visit

 I love traveling. I think it’s so fun to learn about how people live in different parts of the world and even other places in the US. Today, I’ll be telling you all about 3 places I want to visit in the near future. The first place I want to visit is Salzburg, Austria. This is number one on my bucket list. My grandma, who has since passed away grew up in this beautiful city and moved to America after WW2 because she fell in love with an American soldier from Kentucky. I’d like to visit the birthplace of Mozart, the Salzburg Cathedral, check out the coffee shops/boutiques and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. The picture I’ve attached below is the Bavarian mountains surrounding Salzburg. ( https://cdn.projectexpedition.com/photos/39563touractivitycsm_berchtesgardenwatzmannlockstein_7199d73c52_sized.jpg ) A fun fact about Salzburg (from my grandma), Hitler didn’t bomb this city during WW2 because he hid his prized paintings there! The second place I would like to visit is Sa...
