Finals Burnout

Image
 Finals Burnout      Wow, this semester has really flown by. It feels like we were writing our first blog post just yesterday, and now we're penning our last. This class has been a rewarding experience overall. Sure, there were stressful moments, but that's part and parcel of any course. I gained valuable insights about social media, such as how to manage different social media, and identified improvement areas.      At this point, I only have a few write and assignments to complete. One aspect of this class I particularly appreciated was its schedule. Not having to attend this class on Tuesdays and Thursdays proved a boon, allowing me to focus on other coursework. This was especially helpful during weeks like last when we wrapped up our presentation and only had this blog post and an AP Quiz to tackle more papers .      I recommend this class to others interested in social media. Knowing what to do and what not to do is precious informa...

The Last Week of Social Media

Image
 The Last Week of Social Media      This week is the last week of my Social Media class. Throughout this semester, our group was tasked with posting and creating content for Ohio Northern Sports. It was a serious matter because not only was our professor grading some of our projects, but Ohio Northern Sports also had a say in what our grade should be, which is really scary because you might've thought you did a good job, but they didn't think so then you are sort of screwed.      Our final  presentation is today, and I am incredibly nervous for several reasons. One reason is that we must review everything we did throughout our presentation over the past few months. We have everything requested, but you never know if you are leaving some things off. Another reason why I am so nervous is because I have a tendency to stutter when I'm presenting. I tend to repeat the exact same phrase. I really try not to, but it sometimes just happens. Hopefully, I c...

Best Thanksgiving Food

Image
 Best Thanksgiving Food     Ham is better than Turkey on Thanksgiving day. A honey ham is tastier and not usually as dry as a Turkey. I feel like a turkey is the  traditional food for Thanksgiving, but I believe that Ham is the go-to from now on. But some sides are undefeated and are really slept on.     The first side I want to cover is stuffing. This side is a crucial aspect of Thanksgiving dinner. The homemade stuffing always beats the store-bought. I also really enjoy smacking down some double eggs. You can go right with some double eggs on your plate.      I also like on Thanksgiving is some cheesy potatoes. This side is probably the best of all. Potatoes are good on their own, but when you add cheese on top of them and bake them, lord have mercy. I have heard that people are starting to mess around with corn on the cob for Thanksgiving, and I can't get behind that.      Corn on the cob is a summer cookout food for me. I o...

Thanksgiving Burnout

 Thanksgiving Burnout     Man, I can't wait for Thanksgiving break. It can't come any slower. I am mentally fatigued from homework, test, and classwork. I have talked to my friends about the burnout college pushes you through, and it really is a grind. I feel bad for all freshmen experiencing burnout for the first time. I always have something to look forward to. Thanksgiving break is a perfect example of something to look forward to.      Thanksgiving falls perfectly for many reasons. One reason is that when Thanksgiving comes around, it usually, or at least for me, is when all classes stop teaching new content and focus more on reviewing past things.      With that being said, another reason for Thanksgiving falling in the perfect spot is that usually, after the break, we get back, and it's typically three weeks of just locking in and grinding the grades. This is nice because football for me is over, and it's all school, no other distractio...

Spooky Snow?

 Spooky Snow?     Surprisingly, it snowed on Wednesday evening when I was not expecting that . I was just chillin' in my room when I glanced outside, and to my surprise, I saw little snowflakes. And I couldn't have been more surprised. I unfortunately didn't snap a picture of the snow falling because I was just in awe, and it didn't cross my mind. I will use a picture sent to me from football practice instead. After all, how rare it was for the Halloween evening, and it snowing was just surprising to me.      I claimed in earlier blogs how happy I am for the winter weather, and I look forward to the snow and ice. I am excited to watch the snowfall and enjoy it. There is no better thing than watching the snow fall and movies under a blanket. I'm probably the only one that thinks this.      Going back to Wednesday night, I can say for many students that the snow on the trees and grass makes the campus extremely pretty. There is nothing bet...

World Series

 World Series      The MLB World Series is almost here. Starting Friday, the Texas Rangers host the first game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the most unlikely World Series, with both teams having losing records last year. But we are looking at something other than last year. The two teams entered the playoffs this season and won the AL and NL pennants.      As you may know, I am a huge Texas Rangers fan, so we will cover their playoff run first. This playoff had the Rangers in the Wildcard facing off against the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-series game. The Rangers won that series in only two games. As they moved on, they had to face the number one seed, the Baltimore  Orioles. This was a five-game series, and the Rangers won in three games. This pushed them into the chance to win the AL pennant. Their next opponent is a familiar team who is the rival of the Rangers. The Houston Astros have made it to the AL pennant seven years in a row. ...

Weather is Perfect

 Weather is Perfect     It is finally the perfect weather outside, and I couldn't be happier. There are many things I like about the weather, such as the changing leaves, the temperature, and how you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. What can I say? I am a cold-temperature person. I always look forward to the weather getting colder. I really like winter too for even more reason.      Fall brings the cold mornings and the warm evenings. This is perfect, I think, because you wake up and get a wake-up call with the brisk air, and then once you get done with school and class you are still able to do stuff outside and not be drenched in sweat and also not too cold where you don't even want to be outside.      Moving along, I love fall season because the leaves are changing colors and turning pretty and lovely. Whenever I think of fall, I think of leaves changing, which must be top-tier feelings and sights. I think of driving home and lookin...
