Fall Break

    Fall break is a much-needed break from academics and athletics. This past weekend, we had our fall break; it was my first time home in seven weeks. This break couldn't have come at a better time. I was starting to get tired mentally and physically and being able to go back home helped me out so much. I could go home, hit the reset button, and get re-focused. I feel like I have come back more positive and ready to rock for the rest of the year.

  Also, we start official practice this upcoming Saturday, so it was great to be able to reset and reassure myself. As I have gotten older in college, my homesickness has gotten less, and the chances I get to go home are also less. When I went home as a freshman, it was really hard for me to get the motivation to come back to school, but I now thoroughly enjoy being here. I went home Friday afternoon and came back Tuesday night. It was fantastic and being able to have family movie nights and go to eat as a family are some things I will always cherish. Playing a college sport, there are a lot of cool things that I have missed out on with family and friends, but I wouldn't change the memories for anything.

    To any college kids out there, always cherish the time you get home, no matter how long it is. One thing I have started to realize is how short life is and how much we should cherish time together with family and friends. Being able to go home for five days was fantastic and much needed for me, mentally and physically.

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.

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. ...
