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.

Can YouTube be More than Entertainment?

    Discussing and learning about YouTube has been fun and also informative. It has been fun learning about YouTube because I am an addict and always watch videos on it. I love YouTube because you can watch and find anything you need. Whether it is life advice, music videos or content creators. For example, I watch Danny Duncan and The Nelk Boys all the time and it is great. But, can YouTube be used for more than entertainment?     For example, YouTube is a fantastic way to promote yourself and your business, especially with amount of active users on YouTube. Everyone starts somewhere, everyone starts with zero subscribers, it is all about what you do with that. My freshman year of basketball at Ohio Northern University, I played against a guy named D'Vontay Friga from The University of Mount Union and he is YouTube famous now with over 600,000 subscribers and makes a living of promoting himself and his brand. His brand slogan is "Stay Motivated, Stay Positive" and h...

Instagram is Important

      Founded in 2010, Instagram has became a social media app and one of the most popular you can get. Building through an Instagram can be huge especially with the option to make an Instagram Business page. You can promote your business through Instagram with special advertisements and offerings that come with it. For example, the top 50 global brands post an average of 4.9 times per week.      An important part once making your posts on Instagram is what you make your captions. You are allowed 2,200 characters, but you should never make it that long. The shorter captions get more engagement and shares. A big part of captions is how you use hashtags. Hashtags are usually used at the end of captions and can be huge in engagement, especially if it is a popular hashtag. Also, there is banned hashtags so you have to pick and see which ones are unbanned and banned. Other than hashtags and trying to keep captions short, you can and should use emojis. ...

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...
