Live Tweeting the Homecoming Game!

Yesterday, a friend and I attended the ONU Homecoming football game against Otterbein. It was an awesome experience that everyone should have! Watching ONU win gave me even more pride that I'm attending this school. I live tweeted the event with the #ONUHomecoming17.
You can see all the tweets about the game here.

This weekend was homecoming weekend at ONU, there were sports events and a dance and all kinds of activity tents, but you wouldn't know that looking at ONU's Facebook and Twitter. I went to ONU's Facebook page looking for any information on homecoming weekend. What did I find? a big, fat NOTHING. Only if you search specific event and organization pages would you find any information that homecoming was even going on. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place, but if the first page that comes up when you search Ohio Northern University on Facebook doesn't have information about what is going on currently on campus, how many people are going to dig deeper? ONU's Twitter was the same way. I don't know twitter well, so I could be very wrong about this one. I understand that Twitter is mostly organized by hashtags, but if you're like me and don't know all that much about the platform you'll probably just search Ohio Northern University, find nothing about homecoming, and just move on. I never would have thought to search #ONUHomecoming17 to find out what was going on all weekend if it hadn't been a requirement for me to live tweet for an assignment. Long story short, if there's going to be an event that you want to promote, make sure you promote it on all pages of all social media platforms that you use. Don't leave out the basics because that's going to be the first thing people look at.

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

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
