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.

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.    ...
