According to Facebook...

What career should you be pursuing? Who will you be dating in 2018? Who is your celebrity soulmate? Based on your personality where should you be living? We all know and love the Facebook personality quizzes. They are there to give us entertainment and to make us feel (mostly) good about ourselves. There are always those exceptions that you don’t get the results you want, but no one takes THOSE seriously so that’s whatever. These quizzes [supposedly] to take your answers and calculate, depending on each one, give you the most accurate response, right? WRONG! These quizzes are the same as the quizzes in Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, and other women’s and children’s magazines. How do those work? You’re asked questions and given answers (a, b, c, d) that usually don’t reflect your personality at all but you convince yourself otherwise; then at the end of the quiz you are given a key that says “If you answered mostly a’s…” “If you answered mostly B's…” and so on. The Facebook quizzes are exactly the same. They don’t take into account what you actually answered; they just take the row most of your answers were in and give whatever results match up with that row.
That being said, what about the profile evaluations? The ones that say “login to Facebook” before you get a response. What do they look at? Some of them say before they give you an answer that they’re evaluating your friends list and profile picture, but is there anything else? Do they just randomly file through and pick stuff out of your profile?

If anyone knows what’s up with the profile evaluations, please tell me in the comments!!

Dreams are Weird...

Dreams are weird. I have never had what anyone would consider a "normal" dream. I'll give you one example of the strangest dream I think I have ever had. I once had a dream that I was going to a boarding school (that looked like Hogwarts). I was coming back from a class and there was a girl in the bathroom with all the showers running, and she was running around singing "it's raining , its pouring, the old man is snoring..." (we all know the song). Well, this teacher goes over, pulls this transparent screen over the door and screams "I'll make it rain!" she then pulls this rope that came out of nowhere and the water coming out of the showers turns to acid and the girl in the bathroom just melted. I run back to my room where two of my friends are and I tell them we have to get out. Then it jumped to us at dinner where all the teachers were wearing these black hoods and were standing in the shadows until the head master, freaking Santa Clause, c

Hit a Rut

Here at ONU you have the opportunity to pursue anything you want. I chose to pursue advertising design. It is a great program and I love it. I love the classes, I love the professors, I love my fellow students, but I'm just not sure where the advertising comes into the advertising design program. Mostly there have been art classes and general education courses and that is to be expected, but I was hoping for a broader view of what I would be doing business wise in the advertising world. I've decided to pursue public relations to get this broader view, but I don't know if I should add it as a second major, or if I should just go for the minor? On 1 hand, the major would give me another degree entirely, on top of my advertising design degree. 2 degrees is a good thing right? Most people get by with the 1 and make a life in a career that is in their desired field (sometimes even that doesn't happen and they're left at a job they hate.) With 2 degrees (one being adve

Black Friday

Image
Black Friday is a tradition we all know too well. The crazy people flying through the stores trying to find the best deals on whatever it is they are getting people for Christmas, the long lines, and the classic “ I got here first ” fights never seem to get old. I had to work Black Friday this year and it was kind of a disappointment. There were no fights, there were no crazy people, just the long lines which have to be the most boring part of the whole event. I opened the jewelry counter at Kohl ’ s in Findlay at 5 p.m. on Thursday. There was already a line outside the building when I got there at 4, and I was expecting a huge rush at the start of the night. I held my hopes too high. There was no mad rush, there were no fights, there weren ’ t even semi-angry people running around because they didn ’ t get the stuff they wanted. Just perfectly sane people walking around being polite, saying excuse me, asking for a hand from the people around them and others gladl
