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 gladly helping. I should be happy that everything went so smoothly, but I’m not. I am incredibly disappointed and so was the security guy at Kohl’s. He came up to me before we opened and said “are you ready for this?” I simply shrugged because I wasn’t ready at all, “I’m ready to break up some fights” he told me, laughing. It was probably the funniest thing to happen the whole night. Next year, please, someone come to Kohl’s and start a fight to make my night at least that much more exciting.

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...

Phobias

Image
Today I had to give a speech on phobias, so I'm just going to talk about  those for a bit. Phobias are an anxiety disorder defined as, persistent irrational fears of something that poses no threat. There are some weird phobias out there, I have two strange phobias myself. Achondroplasiaphobia, is the first of my two phobias, and it is the fear of midgets. I don't know why this is, so don't ask, and I know, "they're just people". My second phobia is autoucmbustophobia, this is the fear of spontaneous human combustion. I am terrified that one day I'm going to be walking down the street and either I just going to burst into flames out of nowhere, or someone is going to pour gasoline all over me and light a match. I know for a fact that this stems from my fear of dying in a fire, which stems from a movie I watched when I was about 7 years old. The movie was called The Gift and I have no idea what it was about, all I remember is some man tied his father up to a...
