Real Life

     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 to be in the thick of it not someone who is able to sit at a desk all day and have their eyes glued on a computer. I believe this simulation has taught me many things that you could never learn in a classroom. The real life experience is great and definitely shows that I am doing what I love and am going down the right path.

    I find the simulation interesting as well. I often complete the rounds in the evening when I feel like I cannot focus on any other more intense assignments. I try to take my mind off of it as homework and make it more like a mindless video game. I think of it as if I was playing one of those old games off of the Cool Math Games website I used in elementary school. That helps me ignore how fashion is not exactly my area of expertise when making choices. If only we were able to receive the money that we get in the simulation.

    The simulation is one of the best tools to understand whether your social media strategy is up to par or not. It also is a great example that it takes work to get back good results, similar to how social media works for businesses in the real world. That is great that through the simulation you feel reaffirmed that you are heading down the right path!

    I agree very much with this. The simulation has been an experience I never thought I needed. Getting to apply my knowledge to real-world situations has been super helpful in refining my writing and usage of it. I'm glad to see this simulation is helping you actualize your career goals with some practice. Have fun!

    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

 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
