Social media strategies review

-
Social Media Strategies was such a great book. It came with a large amount of information and at first glance it looked so intimidating. I was not sure what I had gotten into. In hopes of my mental sanity and my grade in this course I would find it to be an easy read. I found it to be much easier to read than I expected. The chapters were quite long and sometimes did drone on. I found it very important to read the information because of all the great tips it held. As a class we only got through the first 10 Chapters because of time restrictions. I would’ve liked to completed the book and learned more about social media analysis.

One of the best parts about the book was the beginning of each chapter. Before diving into the information and treating it like an actual textbook, there was a testimonial from a professional. I really enjoyed reading those because they gave a glimpse into the lives of true social media professionals. You don’t meet very many people on the street with a social media background so this was special. Each testimonial was from a different walk of life or a different career background. This helped give hope that there are many career options in social media. Don’t be afraid if you love social media you’ll find a job!
I am very happy with the amount of information I was able to get from this book. I am glad I will have it forever because I will need to keep going back to it throughout my career. No matter how far you get into your career you are never too old to look back at your textbooks for help.

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

Getting involved on campus

-
“What clubs or organizations are you involved in?” That statement is actually the worst question to get asked right behind, “So, What are you doing after graduation?” This is asked by parents, friends, strangers, future employers… you never know. Having nothing to respond with and just babbling nonsense of how you are really busy with classes or you don’t really know because you are in a broad field is the wrong thing to say. I know this through a lot of experience from interviews to extended-family vacations, I’m here to give everyone tips of how to get more involved on ONU’s campus. Go to activity fairs Each semester the University holds activity fairs full of clubs and organizations looking to let everyone in. Most clubs and orgs. Will have sign up sheets that just require and email address so they can send you more information. Easy-peasy. When all the clubs and orgs. You were interested in email you about meetings or events it will give you a chance to show up once
