A LITTLE ABOUT ME



Before I get to far in my blog, I thought I should tell you a little about myself.  My name is Lydia Herrnstein, but I used to be Lydia Shealy.  In August I married the literal LOVE OF MY LIFE.  His name is Jordan and I will probably talk about him a lot.  We have been together for 6 years and have even endured the struggles of a long-distance relationship.  Together we have the spunkiest golden retriever, named Sadie.  She is basically my child and wish I could take her everywhere with me.

I am a middle child to my two sisters, Lauren and Paige.  This means that I was always the middleman when it came to fights or even sitting in the car. Unfortunately, I could not convince my little sister, Paige, to go to ONU.  Instead she picked, Ashland University, where Lauren went.  Personally, I think she did this, so she didn’t have to see me on campus every day.

I am in my last semester of my senior year at ONU and I still am not sure how I feel about it.  I still feel like I am just a freshman some days.  Life at ONU, my senior year, has been a lot different than in previous years.  I do not live on campus, instead, I live with my husband and commute to classes every day.  This means I am only on campus for classes and my never-ending capstone project.  Not living on campus has several challenges, because it is often difficult to stay involved on campus, when you are away from it. I still stay active in my professional organizations and Kappa Alpha Theta, even though I am not living on campus. 

My plans for after college are still unclear. I have been struggling to decide what exactly I want to do after I graduate.  I still find it crazy I will be done at ONU in only a few months.  As of right now, I am still searching for my dream job, but when I do find it, I will be sure to let you know.

    Congrats on the wedding and your picture is absolutely beautiful. I wish you and your husband many years of happiness. I know you must be nervous yet exciting to graduating this year and officially starting your life. Also, I pray you found the dream job for you. Don't be worried if you doesn't happen as fast as you would want it to. Remember, good things come to those who wait.

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team! You can check out my live tweet by searching #AlumniBBall2020 on twitter or by following me on twitter @Lydia74353175.

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
