Week 5 ONU Blog

I cannot believe it is already the final week for our summer class. This class has made the first part of the summer fly by for me.

I cannot wait to get back onto campus this upcoming fall. For me this is weird. Usually, I am excited to go back to school to see my friends and not necessarily everything else, but this year feels different. I think this has to do with me switching majors and Covid regulations going away.

Last week I was on vacation, and it was refreshing to be able to walk around in restaurants and public places without wearing a mask. I guess I just want to go back to college and have things go back to normal. I miss being able to go to tournaments with the ONU frisbee team. I miss being able to collaborate with classmates in the classroom. I miss being able to go on the Habitat for Humanity service trips over winter and spring. As well as work week before the school year starts.

I think the biggest reason is I finally feel like I am coming into my own. The first 2 years at ONU have been bumpy. I missed class time since I broke both my wrists’ freshmen year and then Covid hit. This past year with Covid going on it made everything messy. I am looking forward to a fresh start. I finally will not be living in a dorm. I will be in an apartment, and it will be nice to be able to cook and have a kitchen to myself.

Hopefully, this upcoming semester will be a good one and I wish everyone the best of luck going forward.

    Hi Ryan! This first part of summer has flown by for me too because of this class! I can't wait to be back at school this fall and I am hoping this upcoming year is as normal as possible. It is great to see regulations being lifted and people staying healthy! Good luck this year in all that you do!

Week 4 SMSC

As week 4 rolls around and is ending there has been something on my mind recently that happened by in May after school ended. When finals were done and I went home and was excited for summer. I needed time away from the classroom and this would be my final summer where I was able to spend most of it with the family. About 3 days after I had been home my granny came to visit my sister who was in town and me at our house. My grandma never liked being called grandma so we called her granny. We ate lunch together and talk for a long time since it had been a while since I had seen her in person with covid and everything. She mentioned how lonely she had become because of it and she had no one to talk to a lot of the time. I told her that I would spend the summer at her house cleaning it out like I did last summer. Eventually she ended up leaving and going home since there was a storm coming, she did not want to be caught in it. 2 days later it is mother’s day. In my family on mother’s d

USA vs. Mexico

There was a huge soccer match this past Friday night. USA played Mexico in Cincinnati for their seventh world cup qualifying match. This means they are halfway through world cup qualifying for the 2022 world cup in Qatar. The match is extremely important since Mexico was top of the group before the match was played and if USA won the match, we would move into first place above Mexico. The match was crazy! Pulisic is USA’s best player but he has recently just come back from injury so he did not start. Usually, USA starts off their matches slowly and does not play to well in the first half. Mexico dominated the first half but thankfully did not get a goal. Then the second half started and this is where the action truly began. The game became more chippy and emotions started to rise up. USA started to look better but Mexico was still getting the better chances. That was until Pulisic was subbed into the game with 25 minutes to go. As soon as he came into the game the mentally of the who

Week 3 Social Media for Strategic Communication Chapters 4-6

This week we read Chapters 4-6 in Social Media for Strategic Communication. Chapter 6 specifically stood out to me. In anything we do we should have a plan of what we want to accomplish. Chapter 6 talks about strategic planning for social media. I found this intriguing because most people who use social media do this to some extent. When someone is making a social media post, they subconsciously think about pre-existing information on whatever they are going to post. While individuals may not explicitly think about what they want from their social media post. People post to get a reaction, or they have an end goal to what they posted. They may not necessarily follow every step laid out in chapter 6, but the mindset is similar. This chapter opened my mind to what companies think about potentially when posting on their social media’s. The end goal of a company is to make money. So, when they are doing social media posts whether it is promoting or just creating conversation online com
