Thankful

September 4th, 2021. The date where the ONU football team takes the field for the opening game of the 2021 campaign. This will be my first normal season of football since my senior year of high school. There is a lot of anticipation for this upcoming season with playing a full 10 game schedule. I am very excited for this season because I will have a chance to prove myself even more after my freshman season. I received honorable mention all-conference my freshman year, but I want to keep progressing my game and getting better. There are concerns however about Covid. There is still Covid testing and the possibility of Covid spreading around the team. If we get through all of our Covid threats I feel like we have a great chance to have a great year off the field and in the classroom. ONU football has one of the highest if not the highest team GPAs in our conference. My GPA has slowly gotten better but I want it to be even higher this year. Some of my goals for my sophomore year for the football season is to be first team all-conference and I want to be an All American one day. I also want to be a leader for the younger guys and be a role model for the guys that look up to me. The whole ONU community will be at our football games and I want to have the younger kids in the community have someone that they can look up to. I want to be that person. Being on the football team brings many opportunities that a normal student wouldn't necessarily have. One of these opportunities could be traveling across the state and playing at different stadiums and venues. If we make the national playoffs we have the chance to travel across the country and experience new things. We also have a chance to be a part of a brotherhood and a family that normal students wouldn't necessarily get. In conclusion, I am just beyond grateful to be a part of the ONU football program and be a part of the ONU community. I can't express how happy I am to be here.

    I understand how you feel with being a leader on your team and wanting to make a difference. As a captain for the golf team, I need to be a leader and show the underclassmen how hard I work on the course and show them what I can also do for them on campus. Good luck in your first full season!

    Noah, I am so happy for you to finally have a normal college football season! That was probably the number one thing I missed the most, last year, were the football games. Good luck with your season, can’t wait to go and cheer on a classmate!

Chapter 1 Material

One of the biggest concepts I comprehended out of the content in chapter one of the introduction of social media is the different advantages and disadvantages of social media. I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...

PRSSA Meeting

 For one of my school assignments, we had to attend an event this week around campus with homecoming. Due to my busy schedule this weekend I chose to attend the PRSSA meeting Thursday night. There were some other events to pick from but with my schedule being very busy this was the only event that I could get to go to. In addition to just attending, we also had to live-tweet this event giving updates with key takeaways from the event. This isn't the most orthodox assignment for a class that I get to do, but it was actually pretty interesting. This PRSSA meeting was all about ethics. September is Ethics Month in this organization so it was only fitting that our meeting would be over ethics and how it ties into public relations. For this event, they brought in a couple of guest speakers. These guest speakers were Ronele Dotson and Jo Ann LeSage Nelson. They talked about different types of crises and walked us through different case studies with what they had to deal with. What I like...

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
