Life

    As I sit back today and reflect, I keep thinking about how blessed I am and how great my life is. My life is great because of the people I have in my circle and the people that support me. When I think about some of these things, it really does make me complain a little less and be cheerful a little more. It is easy to smile and be happy when life is great, but how do we respond when life isn't always great and exciting? That truly determines how strong we are as people. 

    First, my family is great and they are my driving force in everything I do on a daily basis. When I look up in the stands at basketball games and see all of them, it reminds me of why I work hard and also how blessed I am. My family is massive, which makes it even better when I see so many of them. Secondly, my friends are incredible. I have met some of my best friends through college and have also maintained childhood friendships from back home. When things aren't always positive, I know I can come home to my roommates and laugh and smile and be just fine. Lastly, are my basketball teammates and coaches who I see every day. I have great teammates and coaches who remind me of how great life is. Having people on my side and in my corner gives me the comfort I need sometimes when life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. 

    If you have great people in your life, please let them know that you appreciate them. I have tried to improve on thanking the people in my life and telling them how much I cherish our friendship. You never know what can happen in life, and that's what drives me every day.

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.    ...
