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.

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. ...
