15 things a college student thinks about before finals.

-
All college student’s go through the same process and the end of each semester. From grades to what they are eating for dinner all students are panicking as the cloud of final exams hovers over them. This is a list of 15 things that go through a students mind at the end of the semester.
  1. “Wait… is it really week eight already?”
  2. “Do you think if I turned in that assignment from week three I’d get credit?”
  3. Taking a 20 minute nap is higher on the to-do list than the final paper
  4. “I can watch one more episode before I study.”
  5. “How many weeks or just ramen noodles for dinner is too many?”
  6. “Okay I finished the first 100 words of my 10 page paper, I can scroll through social media for at least an hour.”
  7. “I’ve been watching Facebook videos for how long?”
  8. Creates a to-do list to be ahead for the week, but still doesn’t complete the tasks on time.
  9. “Maybe if I ask nicely I can get an extension on this assignment.”
  10. “Oh yeah I study for at least eight hours for this exam. I aced it”
  11. In reality, Netflix was playing on the TV and a laptop was open to the study guide in the distance.
  12. “I didn’t need to read the book because I watched the documentary on Hulu.”
  13. “Would my mom be that mad if I had to take an extra year?”
  14. “I should have already scheduled classes for next semester? What if I’m not ready for that commitment yet.”
  15. “I cannot wait to have an entire month off.”

    I can safely say that I connected to a few of these way more than I really want to admit. 2,3, and 11 all have crossed my mind within the past 24 hours.

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
