Tuesday Night Showdown

    All I have to say is, wow. That word describes our game last night when we traveled to North Manchester, Indiana to battle against Manchester University. The bus ride was long, so we knew it was already going to be a battle and the atmosphere made it even harder. 
    Tuesday night games are always challenging, especially when they are away in a hostile environment. Manchester had a great turn out last night and had around 100 students in attendance, so it was very challenging. The ball tipped and the game began and it only got crazier as the game went on. My teammate, Landen Long came out on fire and continued with it throughout the whole game, as he scored a career high 35 points! The game was 70-66 with four minutes remaining and I leaked out ahead of the play and had a slam dunk to put us up by six points and the arena went completely silent. To be honest, at this point we thought we had the game wrapped up, but we kept fighting. It ended up being 84-82 with six seconds remaining and we were up. Manchester inbounded the ball, went down to the other end and scored an And-1 layup and hit the free throw. So, with two seconds remaining the score was 85-84 with Manchester leading. We inbounded the ball, went a little past half court, Landen Long threw the ball up and it went off the backboard and banked in and we won the game 87-85, it was insanity. Landen ended up finishing with a career high of 35 points and I also had a career high of 19 points!
    The bus ride back home was so enjoyable and was a great night to be a Polar Bear. Those are the nights that you work for all summer and the moments that you will cherish forever. I will never take for granted the situation I have been blessed with. Go Bears!

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...
