Thanksgiving Break

I think it is getting to that time of the year when everyone needs a break. I am currently sitting in class writing this blog and half of my class decided to skip today. I don't think this is due to pure laziness. I believe this is from pure exhaustion and these people need a break. I won't lie, I have definitely thought about skipping a couple classes these last few weeks. I think this is normal for this time of year. Also, this week we have a lot of sports teams in the postseason. Being a college athlete, I can say that it is very hard to always have a perfect balance between sports and academics. When a team is performing really well and has a chance to go deep into the playoffs, I wouldn't blame them for missing a class or two to get a little bit more prepared for their games.

 

Also, if you have been following Ohio Northern sports you have seen that the football team is not having a good year at all. This has been very hard for me because I have never been a part of a really bad losing season and it is eating me up. This is when Thanksgiving break comes into play for me. I cannot wait until Thanksgiving break just to get away from everything and clear my mind. Although I do need a break, some of my best friends only have two more games left in their senior year. This definitely puts things into perspective for me that football doesn't last forever and I should cherish every moment I get. I am looking forward to finishing off this season strong and then getting a much-needed break during Thanksgiving.

    I feel it, Noah. The school year can be a grind, especially when you add on being an athlete. Keep pushing!

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...
