Game Day!

     Today is game day... home game, big student section, all the noise. These are the best days. I live for game days, these are the best days of the year. In our program we preach "Defend King Horn", don't let someone come into our house and push us around. I came to Ohio Northern University because I love the school spirit here. #Bearssupportingbears is the best. 

    Since our winning streak in the Ohio Athletic Conference came to an end this past weekend against John Carroll we are looking for a win today. With many of our players sick or not feeling well this will be a fight. Tonight we are playing Wilmington, who is usually the last place team in our conference, but this year it is different. Tonight will be a mental challenge for us, play through the pain and not playing down to their level. Ohio Northern Volleyball has a legacy that we look to keep and to do that you must play through anything and play as if every game is the national championship. With this year being my senior year every game is emotional, every win and every loss causes me to reflect on my last four years here and reminds me how grateful I am to be a Polar Bear. With only 5 guaranteed games left I am trying not to take any moment for granted because I know and have learned how quickly it can be taken away. This year is our year, and live every moment as if it was your last!

    Mentality is half the battle and it seems like you and the others have that down. I hope you guys can stay healthy and finish out the season well. Good luck!

    I don’t go to sports events but this made me excited. This post seemed more like you were giving the team direct motivation. I have a roommate who is in an ONU sport and I have heard similar things from her about teammates feeling sick. They are struggling against teams that usually are worse than them. I plan on going to the homecoming football game so I hope I can experience the crazy atmosphere there.

    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
