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 changed the way many companies even advertise their

Buhi Simternship

-

Over the course of this semester, I have worked on and completed a simulation internship for my social media class. The ‘simternship’, as Stukent calls it, was comprised of 12 rounds that were broken up into four sections. With each section containing three rounds, the sections consisted of the following: organic social posts, paid social posts, social media influencers, and the combination of all three at once. During the first three rounds of the simternship, I did not do as well as I would have liked with organic posts. I tried to keep the number of posts and money spent on media for posts fairly equal between platforms. This tactic did not play out too well for me because some platforms did not generate as much revenue as I had spent on media for them. However, I gave myself some grace because it was still early-on, and I wanted to allow myself to learn which platforms perform the best and which ones I should optimize more throughout the rest of the simulation. So, when it came t

Move-Out Stress

              As the semester winds down, I can't help but feel a sense of relief washing over me. I've nearly completed all of my major assignments for the semester, and it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of endless papers, presentations, and projects, but I know it won’t be long before I won’t have to think about school anymore – or for a few months at least. However, just as the stresses of school have left my mind, I find myself with a new worry. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to get all of my stuff home. As I look around my room, I constantly think to myself, “This is not going to all fit in my car.” I am more worried about the bigger things, such as my fridge, my chair, and my TV. But, luckily, my brother lives in Ada so I am hoping I can just leave those things at his house until the weekend following move-out, since my family will be here for his graduation. Even besides that though, I am dreadin
