Fresh Air

     This weekend I was able to go home for the first time in a while. This was the breath of fresh air I needed. I am so thankful to be able to have this blessing in my life because I know that so many people go to school to escape their home life. As an athlete and a dedicated student my free time is slim to none. Therefore, having a time when I am able to go home and just relax and breath is so therapeutic for me. This weekend I needed to just calm myself down. With capstone being a high stressor in my life along with a long distance relationship and a sport my anxiety is in full swing most days. 

    When I was home I got to do some of my favorite things which include eating as Leo's Coney Island which is my favorite chin restaurant that Ohio is lacking. I also was able to spend a full day with my boyfriend and see his new house along with his new city. My favorite part of the weekend was going home to meet my new 8 week old puppy nephew Ryder. He is adorable and puts a smile on my face right away. He is still so tiny he fits in one hand and I am dreading the day that he gets big!  Knowing that I will go home in just two weeks for fall break allows me to keep my calm about my outside factors. I love Ada with my whole heart and love all my friends and life here but some days I need to go back to my roots to separate life.

    Sounds like that trip was a necessity. I recently went home simply to visit my doggy. Her name is Roxanne. Although Ryder is very cute, he is a close second to Roxy.

    That sounds great! It is important to have time to spend relaxing time not in the dorm but in your own house. Also, I could relax thanks to your puppy pic, and he is so adorable! I'm happy to hear you could spend a special weekend.

    It is always good to take time to go back home every once in awhile... especially when you have a new dog.

    I am jealous that you got to go home and will be going home for fall break. My family is pretty busy and lives hours away. I have three dogs and it is always fun to get home and see how much they have grown physically and mentally. I am glad your home is a calming place for you to go when stress is catching up. New positive experiences are nice once and a while.

    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
