Homecoming Week

 It is a really big week on campus throughout the week due to homecoming. Homecoming is a great chance to get involved with different organizations and different activities that are going on around campus. I have received countless emails about different events that are happening around campus. Some of these events include BizBash, Career Fair, Dodgeball, and many many more.

Due to Covid, Homecoming was cancelled last year and I didn't get to experience it. Now this year with homecoming week coming back to life I get to experience different events that homecoming week brings. One of these events that I get to participate in is the football game. In high school, the football game was kind of the main event of homecoming week and I feel like it could be the same in college. Homecoming royalty is usually crowned during halftime of the football game. The crowd at the homecoming football game is usually always bigger than the typical crowd. Alumni, friends, and family packed the stands to see their loved ones play. Many other family members come up to visit their children during this week. 

The good thing about this years homecoming game is that the game itself is supposed to be very competitive. We play the Marietta Pioneers this week and they are a very solid football team. Due to the expected competitiveness of this football team, I expect that to be another reason why the crowd is packed in at Dial-Roberson Stadium. I am very glad that homecoming week is back and I get to experience it for this first time while my main highlight being the football game. So if you have any free time go check out the football game on Saturday at 1:30!

    I enjoyed reading this blog especially since I was thinking of blogging about the same subject. Homecoming week will always remind me of high school homecoming and how much fun it was. I am also pumped for the football game this Saturday especially since it is against Marietta. Keep up the good work and good luck Saturday!

    Homecoming week is a lot like in high school, and it is still really fun and so much to do! The football game is the most anticipated thing for homecoming, so I'm really excited to see the crowd and watch the game. Good Luck!

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...
