Christmas is Soon Approaching

    Yes, I said it, Christmas is soon approaching. It is crazy to believe that it is already almost November. As I have gotten older, I feel as if time goes even faster. It seems like just last week I had guys over on the basketball team and we were celebrating the New Year of 2021 and now it is almost Christmas. 

    Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, not just because it is the longest break I get from academics and athletics but also because I get to cherish the time with my family, dressed up, sitting around the fireplace and opening presents and just enjoying the time we get with each other. Christmas became my favorite holiday when I was a young kid and still believed in Santa Claus. I would always cherish going to church on Christmas Eve and then coming home after and all my cookies and milk were gone and the presents were suddenly under the tree. Those moments right there are ones I will cherish forever and ones that make me so excited to do with my own family someday. As I type this blog, I always get a little sad because it is crazy how fast the time flies and how much we take those times for granted, but I still understand how incredibly blessed I am for the life I have been given. 

    Another one of my favorite parts of Christmas is also seeing the snow on the ground and seeing all the beautiful lights hanging around my neighborhood and my mom making her famous food. We used to have a tradition every Christmas and we would all get together on both sides of my family and go to Columbus and stay in a hotel for a whole weekend. All the girls would go out and shop and all the guys would go out and do things that guys do, go out to eat, race go karts, and all that other fun stuff. 

    In all, never take the time for granted, especially the time you get home with your family, because it will all be gone in the blink of an eye.

    Christmas is also my favorite holiday. I love how happy people get around Christmas, especially when they get time off work and have next to no responsibilities. I also like winter in general. Snow and all the related activities that come with it. Snow is always pretty to look at and makes the world so quiet. It is nice to just sit outside in the near silence due to how much snow dampens sound.

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...

Twitter Can Be Tremendous

    I am beyond excited we are talking about my favorite app in class now, Twitter. Twitter has been my favorite social media app for over a year now. I also feel as if Twitter is one of the best apps you can use to promote your business or even yourself. I know I used Twitter a ton during high school when I was playing basketball and I was able to reach out to a lot of coaches for college teams.      Originally Twitter only allowed you 140 characters on your tweets, that number is now at 280. Twitter was founded and started in 2006 by Jack Dorsey and has over 353 million people attracted to it. It is used every single day for anything you can think of including sports, politics and businesses. Twitter is used more heavily by males especially in the business world. When using Twitter you should try to incorporate videos and pictures into your tweets to catch more attention from people on your timeline or people that view your profile.    ...

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 ...
