Relaxing

     I am someone who really enjoys people and has a large social battery. Though this is very true most days sometimes I need a day away from people. I got that this weekend, and it was a very relaxing and resetting day. I layed around and watched movies and read books, this caused me to grow my happiness tremendously. I recently started reading and I find it so surprising how much reading relaxes me and helps me leave my school and life stresses behind. I also enjoy movies on these days to just sit there mindless. I am someone who gets into everything I do and watching movies has been hard due to me really getting into the plot but I have been trying to find movies that are relaxing instead of heart racing. 

    Relaxation is something that I am going to have to find time for in the real world. I am someone who struggles with bringing work home and that is not good for me or for anyone around me. Therefore, I need to make me calming down and letting my stresses go a priority. Find escapes in music and podcasts is something I need to work on, due to them being more accessible on the road and in busy areas. I am aware this is something many people struggle with and after reaching out to outside sources and they have said that this is always an issue and doesn't go away but it is something you always need to recognize and try to help to better your quality of life instead of the all day stresses.

    That sounds like really good information for college students! When I feel stressed, I just take a nap to forget that, but I realized that reading books or watching movies for relaxation are also good thanks to your blog. Sometimes I need time to be away from people when I get struggling with something because I tend to compare myself with others. So after reading your blog, I thought that relaxing from stress makes room in my mind for me.

    Sydney I understand what you are saying completely. I also consider myself social and love talking to people. This summer I went to my girlfriends hometown and I have never been so overwhelmed in my life. I met so many people in such a short amount of time. My social battery was completely drained. I needed the entire week to recover and practice remembering everyones name so I'd be prepared for next time.

    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
