Greek week is coming

-
Greek week is one of the biggest greek holidays on Ohio Northern’s campus. It is a full week of competitive events between all the chapters in the greek community. To name a few of the events, we have mud tug, Greek Olympics, trivia and my favorite greek sing. Greek sing is an event that requires singing and a choreographed dance throughout the song. Each chapter has to focus their songs and dances off of a specific theme. This year’s theme is decades and Alpha Xi Delta is the 1770’s.

Each chapter has to participate and create some story to go along with their dance. Last year the theme was Disney movies, so there was already a story to follow. I am just as excited to see what chapters do with the decade theme and I am to be participating in the event. I want to share what our story is but you will all have to come to watch.

One of the best parts about greek sing is the songs. Nobody is allowed to use regular soundtracks. Each chapter must write their own song lyrics that include a fact about the other chapters and they must be 75% original. Then each chapter must sing it live. Could you even imagine having to sing live in front of friends and strangers? I can’t, but that is why I am just a dancer. This year I am excited because I get to play a character. I am George Washington because I can pull my hair back and look like a founding father.

I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not…

I am getting so excited for this event. Greek week starts April 8. The first event is greek sing. I hope to see everyone there and cheering Alpha Xi Delta on.

Stuck at home for spring break

-
Spring break for college students is always an interesting time of the year. As students, we are as broke as a person can be, yet we still plan crazy expensive trips to Florida each spring break. I am very broke and also have very broke friends so each year I spend spring break in cold, dreary Ohio. Each year I make the most out of my spring breaks and choose to do fun, but inexpensive activities throughout the week. Here are my top 3 favorite things to do when stuck in Ohio. 1.  Axe throwing I know this sounds kind of dangerous. It is such a great experience and it 100% safe. I went to Class Axe in Cincinnati. It was about $32 dollars per person to go and you can have up to 12 people in your lanes. You learn fun little games that give you chances the throw the axes all the time. It gets your adrenaline pumping because you want to win the game for your team. I almost was my lanes ultimate champ, no big deal. You get to choose a fun ‘axe’ name instead of having a real name a

Learning to feed the content monster

Social media is a great tool and I’ve been using it ever since my mom let me get facebook when I was maybe 12 years old. Which now that I think about it is too young to be on the internet with a public profile. My facebook still has embarrassing photos of me from 7th grade I swear. In my social media principles class, we are reading a book by Guy Kawasaki called, The Art of Social Media . I’ve only read the first three chapters so far, but each page is beyond insightful. One of my favorite sections is about “feeding the content monster” which is exactly what blogging is like. Finding content, creating said content, and making it interesting enough that those viewing it don’t click away. That may seem easy but it really isn’t. The most useful tip in chapter two for me is the idea of creating an editorial calendar. This is essentially a map of what content to post when, where, why, and to whom. Kawasaki himself is not a huge fan of mapping content out in an editorial calendar bu

When will he jump the fence?

-
I have an earlier blog talking about the Bachelor’s social media and I am going to write another one. ABC is so smart in how they choose to market their audience. All Bachelor fans love the added drama to the season, plus a good tease. This season they tease Colton jumping over a fence and losing his mind. This happened in the very first in January. It is not March and they are just now saying it will be aired on this episode. People have been making joke Twitter accounts constantly tweeting if he’ll jump the fence. People are creating content focused around this 10 second clip in general. It is crazy how such a little thing was marketed so well. The fence fiasco is giving the show so much good publicity. Millions of people who know what the Bachelor actually is are tweeting, creating Facebook memes and event posting stuff on Instagram about the stupid fence. I am not usually one to get sucked into the madness but even I’m excited to see why Colton Underwood jumps the fence! I have
