Thanksgiving Break

    We have all arrived back on campus this week after Thanksgiving break and have three more weeks until Christmas and the end of the semester, time is flying. Thanksgiving is great, but it falls second behind Christmas for my favorite holiday. Nothing beats the snow on the ground, cold weather and presents underneath tree, but maybe I am bias. 
    
    Back to the subject, it was beyond great to be able to go home and see my family and relax from the academics. Last week was my first time home in over six weeks because of basketball, so it felt even better to be going home. Even though I am only thirty-five minutes away from home, it is still very hard for me to make it home, especially playing a sport during college. When I do get the opportunity to go home, I have never taken it for granted, and never will. Also, my brother and his wife got a dog last summer, so going back home is even sweeter and better now.

    My favorite part of being home last week was when my family all got together on Thanksgiving day and we just had a great time. We relaxed, talked, and just enjoyed each other's presence. We played games, played pool, and even went downtown and had some food and drinks. It is always nice when you can get family together over the holidays because it has always made me relax and makes me just slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Happy Holidays!

    Getting a break from academics over break was incredible. That’s awesome that your brother and his wife got a dog. Pets are one of the best parts of going back home. It’s always hard leaving them behind for a couple weeks at a time, but getting back and saying hi for the first time in forever is also fun.

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...

The Guardiac Kids

    The Guardiac kids, also known as the Cleveland Guardians, were one of the most fun teams to watch in the league this year. A team made up of the lowest payroll, lowest experience and the youngest team in the league made the second round of the playoffs and took the "best" team in baseball to a final game in the American League Division Series, before losing last night. I watched over 50 games this year, and every game had so much life and excitement to it.      This past Sunday night, I attended game 4 against the New York Yankees in Cleveland and it was an experience of a lifetime. I got free tickets and a parking pass and had fantastic seats for a chance to watch history. We arrived early and explored beautiful downtown Cleveland. Cleveland is a place I have always loved and enjoyed being there and exploring. Once in the stadium, it was so great to be back. The smell of baseball was in the air, and it was contagious. With over 38,000 people in attenda...

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.    ...
