10 Things That Perfectly Describe Maumee, Ohio

I have spent a majority of my life living in Maumee, Ohio. It is a small little town right outside Toledo, Ohio. It's a great place to live and explore. There are so many little things that represent this town and I want to share them.

1. The Maumee River

This river is the border between Maumee and Perrysburg. The water eventually travels all the way to Lake Erie. It the probably the most well known landmark in Maumee. It is a great place to fish.

2. The Maumee Indoor Theater

This iconic building is located near downtown. They show movies for a low price, host events and is the location for many plays put on by local schools. It is also the inspiration for one of the Maumee Snapchat filters.

3. Downtown

Downtown Maumee is small, but cute. There are so many different shops and restaurants to go to. During Christmastime, the entire downtown is decorated and it looks beautiful.

4. Sidecut Metropark

Located along the Maumee River, Sidecut Park has many attractions for people of all ages. There are trails to hike and bike on. There is a playground for children. In the winter, there is a large sledding hill for people to go down along with an outdoor ice skating rink.

5. The Shops at Fallen Timbers

This the main mall if you live in Maumee. It is a cute little outdoor mall with stores like American Eagle, Dillards, and Victoria's Secret.

6. Fallen Timbers Battlefield

Another park in Maumee is the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, the memorial site of 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers. There's lots of history there and you mostly like went there for a field trip in grade school.

7. The Andersons

This local store is the perfect place to go buy food and other home items. Everyone knows where The Andersons is and probably know the family who lives in Toledo. But sadly, they will be closing their stores during the summer for good.

8. Maumee Sportsmall

Do you like mini-golf and baseball? I used to go here all the time to play mini-golf and use the batting cages.

9. Lucas County Fairgrounds

Home to the Lucas County Fair in July. It is also the location of the famous Rib-Off where local restaurants sell ribs and host concerts.

10. Wabash Cannonball Trail

This is a 63 mile bike and walking trail that goes through Maumee. It is paved and a beautiful walk that can take you to The Shops at Fallen Timbers or through small towns like Whitehouse, Ohio.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
