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 dreading thinking about how I am going to have to take down all of my room décor and pack everything else up.  

Also, due to my unfortunate shopping problem, I have acquired SO much stuff throughout the past nine months. Seriously, I need my card taken away because my clothes are almost bursting out of my closet and dresser. Usually, I wouldn’t be thinking about packing just yet, but tomorrow my mom is coming to Ada to take my boyfriend and I out to dinner before school ends and he has to go home. So, I figured I would make things easier on myself and pack some things to send home with her. Knowing myself, I will probably start packing after class tomorrow, right before she arrives. As for packing everything else, I will more than likely wait until the last possible minute. At this point, I’ve decided to just not think about it. I am simply protecting my peace and we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

    Packing and unpacking for college is one of the worst things in life! It always takes forever and somehow you always end up with things you didn't even know you had! I'm just like you, I acquire so much random stuff and clothes over the year that packing it all up is impossible! Good luck!!

      The day could not come any slower. it feels like we've had to weeks of school left for a month and it continues to feel longer. But all those papers and homework's are about to be put on hold for a while which is the best feeling in the world. Good luck with moving out.

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 ...
