Use my Resources

    Social media is a huge defining part of my generation, and I feel that I have everything I could possibly need and want at my fingertips and I am not taking advantage of it. We talked about how one of the biggest advantages to social media is that it allows unlimited free access to so many things. I am here to learn to grow up, I have every skill imaginable and the tutorial of how to do it at any time in just a few clicks, but that isn't fulfilling for me. I am the social media generation, but I was raised by a family that turned me away from that. Don't get me wrong I still love social media and use it in my everyday life but, I want a cooking class not a YouTube video, I want a hard cover not an audiobook. This makes "Figuring out Adulting" that much more difficult for me in this world. I am someone who values face-to-face communication and learning, in a virtual world where this skill is diminishing.

    Although social media has so many advantages it is holding people back. Now instead of trial, error and learning from your mistakes to help you grow as a person failure is becoming less common due to the step-by-step instructions anyone can follow. A lot of people my age are experiencing the same problems I am because of the constant attachment and dependability on their phones. We haven't had to experience as much as past generations because we are always inside on social media. This is something that needs to change for the betterment of society, but it is only getting more and more popular.

    Hi, Sydney! I was raised by my parents without social media too so I can understand the situaiton. I love using social media but I think it is crucial to manage the time using it wisely.

    This weekend the volleyball team and the Ada community celebrated 50 years of Title IX. Title IX is something we as college students hear about all the time but never really understood what it meant. That was until this weekend, generations upon generations of Ohio Northern Volleyball Alum came to our tournament an home over the weekend and stayed for a get together and story telling at the inn afterwards.       Once we arrived at the inn the alumni started pouring in. It was great to talk to them and hear all about their time at ONU and about how much has changed. Then the speeches started and so did the water works. It began with Coach Kuhn talking about the history and then inviting up our new university President. Our President talked about how Title IX has effected her life, she is the first women president her at Ohio Northern which is a monumental mark in our history. Next to give a speech was a fellow player by the name Lea McFadden. She talked about how much ONU volleyball

      I am loving the simulation that we have been assigned, It has been my favorite part of Intro to Social Media thus far. I enjoy being able to put all of the knowledge I have gained in my four years into place and instantaneously being able to see the impact. The post results that you get after running the simulation are so informational and help you form your next posts to be successful. We get to create our own social media posts and post during a specific time on specific platforms. This is what I am planning to go into in the professional world therefore all of this practice is very beneficial. I love the VP assigning us tasks and explaining our goals. My other favorite part is being able to test what I have learned in this class with my communications with the customers. The messaging back and forth and answering their questions in so fun for me because in every job the social aspect is always my favorite part. That is why I picked marketing as a major I am someone who needs t

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
