The First Semester of Junior Year

     I have been sitting back recently and thinking, it is crazy that I am already in week 6 of my junior year of college. I know everyone says it, but I truly feels like I just graduated high school yesterday and now here we are. When you are younger, your parents and relatives will always tell you to enjoy being young because it fly's by and I never believed it and know I wish I would have listened. 

    Going into this semester and coming off summer, it was hard. I can't lie, it was hard coming back to school this year because this summer I had was truly the greatest summer I have ever had, and I never say that. The amount of time I spent with family and friends this summer was awesome. I had my brothers wedding, I turned 21 this summer, we had a big part in our local fair and then you add in all the weekend trips, it was a summer to remember. Regardless, I knew I needed a big year in the classroom for my junior year, so I decided to write "3.5 GPA" on a sticky note above my laptop and I look at it every time I do homework or study. Going back to high school and the years before that, school has never been my thing, not even close. Coming to college I changed my mindset on academics and have blown my high school days for academics out the water, which I am happy with.

    As week 6 begins to come to a close, I am super happy with my progress this semester so far and how my classes are going. For example, I dedicate every Tuesday or Wednesday to all my academic work. I wanted to try this before I came this year and so far I absolutely love the idea, I try and get all my assignments and studying done for the week on these days. No matter what happens this year, I hope myself and everyone else on this campus has a great year, no matter the distractions because there can be a lot in college.

    As someone who really doesn't like the academic side of college, I can understand not coming back. I had a great summer and coming back to the classroom was hard. I'm glad I've made it this far in college and I'm looking forward to the rest of college, as well as making goals for my academics so I do better.

Marketing Campaigns

    We can use many things in the social media world to our advantage, including social media marketing campaigns. In short, it is a campaign used to target an audience and advance your business and company in the long-run. It can also come from actions that can lead to influencers or audience to certain types of things. These campaigns can be most affective just like a lot of other things and that is by setting your goals and audience before you start your campaign.      You need to know where you want your campaign located at and what you want it to do. For example, social media is the main spot but you can also have it in other spots that can reach awareness also. Having your target audience is important, but you also want to know what the people in your target audience are interested with. For example, the social media apps that they are most active on, older people are more active on Facebook versus Snapchat, so it is important to know that. Also, setting a...

Music Cures All

     At a young age I fell in love with music and have never looked back. I remember being a young kid and always asking for an iPod so I could download a bunch of music. Always having my headphones in before my travel basketball and football games and just enjoying it. Back then, I just wanted to look cool and didn't truly understand music like I do now. Music helps me with everything including basketball, school, anxiety and just relaxing, it is great.      I listen to music anytime I can, especially when relaxing or working out. I like to experiment so I truly like a lot of different genres and songs, but if I had to pick one forever it will always be rap. Over the last year I started listening to an artist called Rod Wave and haven't stopped listening to him since. The main reason I always listen to him is because I feel like we relate on a lot of stuff and he puts his true feelings into his songs so it is real and relaxing. I have always liked country ...

Chapter 1-7

    After finishing our midterm in this class, I feel as if it can be a good time to talk about the first seven chapters and the things I have learned about social media. I am actually taking this class because I decided to pick up social media as a minor and I am beyond glad I did it because I  thoroughly enjoy learning about different aspects in social media. This is something that really sparked my interest because I feel like the whole world is ran by social media and cellphones.      Through the first half of this class so far we have learned about all the main social media apps. These include: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. I enjoyed learning about all of them but my favorite was Twitter and that is because it is my favorite app and I also feel as if it is the best app to promote yourself and your business. Twitter is the app I have had the longest so I enjoyed hearing some information about it that I have never heard. For examp...
