Campus Fun

 As we are heading into the heart of the semester different activities and events are starting to pop back up. It seems like I am getting emails every five seconds from different fraternities, sororities, and campus student organizations inviting me to come to their events. For example, for one of my sport management classes, I get to attend a dodgeball tournament and complete that as one of my assignments. I think this is a cool way to interact with different people on campus and have some fun too. Due to Covid last year many of these events were cancelled or turned virtual which wasn't ideal. With Covid restrictions relaxing a little bit it is awesome to see the campus getting back to somewhat normal with all of these events going on. 

As I said last year many of these events didn't happen. I personally didn't know many people on campus which was hard for me. I am a very outgoing social person and with not having events being held it was hard for me to meet people and adapt to campus. With some of these events starting back up it has given me the chance to go out and meet new people on campus which has been good for me.

    Hi Noah! I am certainly not the most outgoing and extroverted person out there, but I definitely agree that ONU's campus activities last year, however limited they may have been, were beneficial in getting me to bond with other students and make new friends. The first time my current roommate and I spent time together was at the SPC's Arts & Crafts Night on the Tundra! I am looking forward to attending some more campus activities once my schedule clears up in the evenings.

    Noah, I agree 100% with you, especially getting emails every five seconds, it's crazy. I loved the activities we could participate in my Freshman year before Covid hit us. I definitely enjoyed playing in the Mud Volleyball Tournament too! I agree with you, I am out-going and want to meet people so last year it was very hard to make that happen.

    I would definitely agree on how annoying it is getting so many different emails in one day, it can get really annoying but also helpful with the amount of activities to do around campus. This year is so much better with covid slowing down in Ada, now that we're allowed to do more activities around campus. Covid ruined my freshman year that I wont get back, so ill definitely would be taking advantage of the opportunities of events.

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...
