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...

College Football Playoffs

     In 2014, college football finally introduced the idea we had been waiting on, The College Football Playoffs. This meant that instead of only two teams getting a chance at the national championship, it would know be four teams. Everyone that enjoys college football was very happy when this was announced.       The first year it was introduced, the final four teams happened to be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, and Florida State. In the first round, Oregon defeated Florida State and Ohio State defeated Alabama in an instant classic. This meant it would end up being Oregon versus Ohio State in the championship game. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon by a score of 42-20 and celebrated winning the first ever college football national championship. I still remember Ohio State winning this game and I lost my mind. I thought it was awesome to see Ohio State win the national championship, but especially with it being the first year of the playoffs. ] ...

First Half, First Semester

    My senior year of college is flying right by. It is crazy to think we are almost complete with the first six weeks of the semester. It seems like just yesterday I was moving back into my house for the school year. I am trying to cherish every moment this year and slow time down as much as possible because the real world is sitting on my doorstep.        This semester has been good for me so far. Since I moved in six weeks ago, I have been back home for a total of four hours, which can be hard for me sometimes. I finally got home last Saturday for a couple hours and it was fantastic. I got to see my family and go out to eat with them at Side Rail in Wapakoneta. Those are the moments I will never trade for the world, and I always cherish them. Busy has been an understatement this semester. Between practices, classes, and projects, I have been moving non-stop since I came back to Ada. Some people have mixed feelings about always being busy, but I love it. ...
