Last Week at ONU

-

            As I wrap up this week, I am so so so so SO excited to leave. But that’s obvious, I’ve been talking about leaving for summer for the past four weeks. Anyway, to share my last week here at ONU for my sophomore year, I’ll have bring you all back about a week. Last Thursday, my mom came down to Ada and took my boyfriend and I out to dinner. It was amazing to see my mom because I haven’t seen her since I went home for my birthday, which was a little over a month ago. That was also the last time, and only time actually, her and my boyfriend saw each other. So, dinner was really nice to catch up on, especially considering on my birthday there was a bunch of people out with us, so it wasn’t the easiest to converse with one another.

This week's flowers!

            The rest of the week has been spent preparing to leave. Not so much ‘packing’ as in preparing, I still have not even begun starting that process. More of a mental preparation. Actually no, I’ve literally done nothing this past week except think about summer and being tan. Wow…not much of a blog post. After this blog, I will officially have all of my assignments from spring semester done. And again, I am not surprised if I don’t start packing until Monday next week…I leave Wednesday. Still, seems totally doable.

            I will miss my roommate and boyfriend over summer though. My friends and I go up to the lake one weekend, so that is something to look forward to and also being able to have everyone back together as two of our friends no longer attend Northern. Anyway, this blog was mostly just me rambling on but, happy summer everyone! See you all in the fall!

    I agree that I am very excited to leave. I also won't actually pack until I have to. It's definitely hard not to think about summer these last couple weeks, each day just seems longer and it's hard to stay in the moment. Happy Summer for you though!

    I am excited to leave, but also a little sad. Don't get me wrong, I am SO happy to be done with schoolwork for the summer, but I am sad to leave my friends behind. I live 8 hours away so I know I won't get to see them over the summer which is sad. I can't wait to be in civilization though. I come from living near so many cities that living in this tiny village sometimes drives me crazy. I know summer will fly by though so I will just try to soak it all in while I can!

Social Media Impact

      Social media is a widely used tool today and is constantly continuing to change and develop. With how prominent social media is today in society, it's crazy to think about how there was a time before it, or even just how the use of it has changed from when it was first introduced.     Social media has always been used to connect people and network in a way. When platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram first came out many people used it to stay connected to those around them and in their community such as family and friends. While many people still do use social media for this, it also is used now to connect people to employers, companies/businesses, products, etc.       It has even become a tool in many workplaces and now something that is being studied and taught in some universities. Social media has impacted different lines of work and is used daily, such as in careers in marketing and public relations. It has ch...

ONU's Social Media Workshop

-

               On Friday, March 22, Ohio Northern University’s PRSSA hosted its annual Social Media Workshop. The day started with hearing from the keynote speaker before breaking to begin the first session of the workshop. The workshop was split into four blocks, with each session having two speakers presenting simultaneously – one speaker would be in the Activities Room while the other in the Bear Cave.              Amy Hertsenberg, the keynote speaker, gave what I found to be one of the most interesting presentations. She discussed all things AI – the powers of AI, how she uses it as a tool in her work, how we can use it, how it is changing the way we work, etc. Hertsenberg puts an emphasis on the idea of ‘hyper-personalization’ using AI technology throughout her presentation. This idea stems from the fact that AI has changed the way we gather information of a customer base. Thi...

Is It Summer Yet?

                         As the final weeks of the spring semester drag on, the boredom of endless assignments and exams has me anxiously waiting for summer freedom. The thought of waking up without the burden of early classes, tedious homework and stressful deadlines becomes an increasingly tempting fantasy. I can almost taste the refreshing lemonade, feel the warm sun on my face and hear the laughter of my friends as we enjoy the long, lazy days. The thought of trading textbooks for beach reads, pencils for pool floats and classrooms for backyard barbecues fills me with excitement. Although I know there are still a few weeks, my mind has already wandered to the carefree bliss that awaits on the other side.                Each day, I find myself counting down the few weeks that remain until the glorious summer break. The relentless grind of classes, assignments and ...
