My Summer

 Since being back at school, I have had time to reflect on the busy summer that I had. This summer I spent back at my hometown in Coldwater, OH. Honestly, this summer was not one of the more enjoyable summers of my life. I pretty much worked and worked out non-stop all summer long. This summer I was back at Coldwater Memorial Park, in charge of boys' and girls' youth activities. This also brought on other responsibilities as being a "supervisor" whom other workers came to for help. Since I was at the top of management, I had extra duties I had to complete, which were dreadful at times. Even though I was getting paid a little bit more than the other workers, it did still not work that I wanted to complete. Some days I would be out at work for over 12 hours at a time, which was awful. After work, I just wanted to shower and sleep, but I didn't get the chance to even do that. Since football season was fastly approaching I had to go workout every day which wasn't fun after working a full day. Even though I didn't want to do it, I knew I had to do it to be ready for football season. I did get to enjoy a family vacation later in the summer. Other than that, I really didn't do much other than that. To sum it up, I am very happy to be back at school.

  1. I am so sorry that you didn't have a great summer :( and I can totally relate to not wanting to workout but having to prepare for a season. Hopefully you got something out of working that much.

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...

Fall Break

 This past weekend and Monday and Tuesday we had a much-needed fall break. Our bye week for football also fell on this weekend so I was able to go home for about four days. It was so good to be home. My brother was home from college, so the whole family was home. Football and school can be very stressful so it was nice to get away from it all for a weekend.  I honestly didn't do anything over this break. It was so nice. At school, I am always on the go and it never stops moving. No matter what day of the week it is, I am always busy and on the run, so it was nice to just relax and not have to worry about doing anything over the break. On Friday, I went to my alma mater's football game. I went to Coldwater High School in Coldwater, OH and we are having a pretty good year. It was nice to go and watch some of my former teammates play so well and to continue to have a good year. We were able to grind out another victory to go 8-0. On Saturday and Sunday, I barely moved. I literall...

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...
