New Meanings

     With volleyball coming to an end I needed to come up with stuff to do in my free time. I have never lived a life without volleyball for as long as I can remember so finding a new definition is hard. I have began to be more involved in other sports. I have always loved going to other sporting events but have never really had the chance here. With no more practice I have had to chance to support my other friends at their games. Recently I have gone to the men's soccer games and am planning on going to the football, basketball and soccer this weekend.  I am very excited and love watching success of fellow athletes. With all of my best friends being fellow athletes being able to support them in their last games has been so heartwarming. I have been blessed with friends that have supported me at almost every game in my four years here so being able to go and support them finally has made me so happy. With soccer hosting the NCAA tournament this weekend I am pumped to see some of my best friends on one of the biggest stages and cant wait to be there for it. I know first hand how much fun it is to play in those games but also know how much pressure is put on you and how fast all the fun can be taken away. I hope to see a lot of students supporting each other at all of these games!

    Hi Sydney, I can relate to what you are saying. Our season is wrapping up on Saturday and I am constantly getting asked how I am going to spend my spare time. I haven't quite figured that out yet. But, I will be happy to have a week to relax then I'll be looking for my next challenge.

    This post reminds me of myself earlier in the year when I found that life without basketball meant having so much free time. I love the ability to fill in this free time by supporting friends who have games and then hanging with them after. That is something that makes Ohio Northern so unique.

    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
