Routine Is Key

    Do you have a daily or weekly routine? A routine can be beneficial to success, especially when you are a busy person. Being able to write down a routine, can help you in numerous ways, including daily organization and structure. By definition, routine is a sequence of actions regularly followed; a followed program. A routine may seem boring or get old, but I promise you it can be the key to a successful life. 

    I am big on a daily routine because of how seriously I took it this past summer and how great it made my days feel. Monday through Friday, my wake-up call was 5 am, and I was in the weight room by 5:30 am. I would wrap up my lift around 6:30 am, shower, and eat a big breakfast. By 7:20 am, I was out the door and on the way to work. I would then work from 7:30 am-5:00 pm, come home and go to the court at 6:30 pm and get my work in. I would then head home, shower, eat, and go to bed before 10:00 pm. Just by following this daily ritual five days a week, I was able to gain 20lbs of healthy weight, improved my mental health, and followed a better diet. It doesn't take a lot, but it does take an incredible attitude and discipline. 

    It may not be for everyone, but if you are struggling with your mental and physical health, trying a daily routine is worth a shot. Now that summer is over and I am back at school, my routine has changed but that still doesn't stop my grind. I strive every day to have my workouts complete before my first class, and also meal prep every Sunday and get caught up for the week. Sunday is a key day to get your mind and body ready for the week ahead. If you can have a fantastic Sunday, you will have a fantastic week, and that is spoken from experience.

    Adam, thanks for sharing how your routine looked in the summer. I had a similar routine this summer with soccer and found it very helpful to following a plan for my day. Hope all that hard work pays off this year!

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...

First Game, First Win

    Last night, we opened up with the first game of our season and the first game of my senior season. We traveled to Oberlin College which is close to the Cleveland area. Since it is closer to Cleveland, it was a long bus ride. The whole bus ride, it really hit me that my senior season is beginning and potentially the last season of my competitive basketball career. Besides that, I knew that this was a huge game, especially being on the road for our first game, it is never easy. I won't lie, I felt very confident about our chances going into the game.      We arrived at Oberlin, and the butterflies began to hit me for the first time in a long time. A new coach, senior season, high expectations, and the first game all added up to some nervousness. This game was a huge game for us if we want to change the culture of Ohio Northern Basketball. The ball tipped up and the game began. We definitely came out as I expected; a little sloppy but also nervous and hesitant....
