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...

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...
