Final Goodbye

 This is my last blog, I have really enjoyed doing this and sharing my life with everyone. I am someone who loves to journal and write out the things that are happening in my life. Writing helps me get through the hard times and figure out my thoughts. This might be something I continue in the future but for right now I am planning to take a break. I write better when my work is not assigned and I am doing it free will. I loved reading others posts and getting to know people I though I knew on a deeper level while also learning all about others through blogging. I did not write about what I planned to in this blog but I do feel a little piece of my story is on here. I will now be able to go back at look at every single week my senior year and read what had happened. I hope others took as much away from this experience as I did and feel like they are able to relive a chapter of their life. I am forever thankful for doing this, not only did I enjoy it I learned a ton about something I ne

Final week

 It is my final week of fall semester of my senior year. This is such a bitter sweet moment, I am a Christmas fanatic therefore, going home for Christmas is something I cant wait for. I love all of the traditions that my family has. The sad part is this means I only have one semester left here at Ohio Northern. I have loved my time here and love it more and more as the years come. This makes saying goodbye just as difficult. I am not good at goodbyes, I know right now it is just a see you later but it is still hard. I can not wait until the nice weather comes back and we can all do things outside, but for right now its cold and wet and not fun. I did just finish capstone today so that makes me very happy and less stressed. I am all done this Friday and heading home to work for the winter break. I cant wait to go home and spend time with my family since I haven't in a while. My sibling live all over and Christmas is the only time we are all together and spending time together. I can

Sim

 We finished the simulation this week and I have touched on many times how much I enjoyed the sim. I cant express enough how much I learned from it and how thankful I am to be able to have that opportunity. I loved how it got more and more difficult as we moved forward the same way that a job will get more and more difficult the more responsibilities that they put on you. We have learned all the different areas of all different social media platforms all year and throughout learning about them and being able to work with them at the same time was amazing. I have touched on how I enjoy working in social media before and hope that its in my future job but now I am applying to social media jobs because I felt that I could succeed with that career. I loved negotiating, I came to school wanting to be a lawyer therefore arguing with clients for lack of a better word was very fun for me. I loved when I finally got them to agree after many offers and not picking certain people due to their pri

Future

 Coming back to school after Thanksgiving break is always the hardest. When you get those 9 days off you get a taste of no stress and free time right before we have to come back here and take finals. I do not have any finals this year due to me  being a senior and just having projects. I have many long presentations over the next two weeks to make up for it though. Between capstone and consumer behavior the stress is high. I have heard from many classes of students that senior year is the easiest but it is the most stressful. I am someone who loves presentations due to my whole life being involved with talking in front of people. I am very sad that this year is already half over. I have loved every second so far and want time to slow down. This is something I have never wished for before. My whole life I have wanted to grow up and be an adult and now that it is al most here I couldn't beg enough for it to slow down. I am still excited to start making money and working but I am just

Professionalism

      The simulation we are doing for class is becoming real to me. Whenever I struggle with a step within the sim I think about how this is what I am going to do the rest of my life and I need to learn. Recently I heard the quote " If you are the best at what you do there will always be room for you." With jobs decreasing I think I need to be the best at what i do to stand out in my field. When I struggle with the sim I feel as if I am not the best. I know this is not a thing to focus on but it is something I think about. I have been working nonstop to just keep on learning everything I don't know and it has been going well. I have been meeting with professionals learning about all the different things that make people stand out in the marketing world. I have heard experience, communication, professionalism and willingness to learn. I have been working on these things to help myself stand out. I hope I am able to make these things a habit and become one of the best at wh

Thanksgiving Break

      Thanksgiving break couldn't come at a better time. I am in need of a mind break, I am mentally drained. I have previously talked about how home is such a great decompressing place for me. I can't wait to do all of my favorite holiday traditions. I love the holidays and they are a huge part of my family. We go to a huge art fair and do our Christmas shopping. I look forward to this day every year, I am a huge fan of tradition its something I hope to carry on forever. This year is going to be a little different, I have a sister who lives in Nashville and she will not be home for Thanksgiving this year. She will be going to Maryland to visit her boyfriend. As someone who loves tradition this has been a struggle for me. I hate change and my sister not being home for the holidays is a big change. Christmas is the "important" holiday in my family though. It is the holiday we must be home for, the holiday party is mandatory, we through a huge dress up party for a large

Addiction

      Tik tok is an app that is really prevalent in my life. I am very interested in apps that take my mind off school. School is my biggest anxiety therefore when I have an escape from it I get very happy. For me tik tok is mindless scrolling the only issue I have with it is stopping. It is definitely addictive and I struggle with the addiction. I will lay down and say I will only be on it for a could minutes and then an hour goes by. I cant sleep without scrolling and I need to take study breaks to scroll and calm myself down. When is it a problem, is my relationship with tik tok harmful to me or is it truly just mindless and an great distraction. I really enjoy it because if I didn't scroll I would be stressed out all the time just thinking about school. I used to play games when I got stressed and I would time manage those better but I find tik tok is truly mindless for me. It does cause my brain to wander and not worry which is what I am looking for. I just need to work on bei
