Yay For Summer Health

Being a college student in the summer and not having a specific schedule makes it easier for me to become lazy. I love school because it keeps me super busy and on track, especially health wise. With several dance classes and rehearsals, I love how active my major can be, but when summer hits and I am not in a show or going to dance class, I feel like quite the slacker.

Recently, I have picked up running to try and stay in shape before school starts again. I even bought an app to help me get started. This is the first app I have ever actually paid money for so I am hoping it works. The Green Monster has been a great friend to me and I have gotten a chance to admire how beautiful ONU’s campus really is. We are so lucky to have a campus filled with trees!

For me, it also becomes easier to eat worse in the summer because I feel like I am constantly going out to eat with my friends. This summer has been a little different though because I am so poor. The older I have gotten, the more I have become interested in healthy eating and physical habits. It is so important to pay attention to your body. Sometimes I do not listen to my body enough when it needs water, so I for sure need to drink more of it.


Overall, I am really glad I have started running. Not only is it a way to get in shape, but also it truly clears my mind and I become sort of lost, in a good way, without even realizing it. I hope I can keep it up when school starts even when I become too busy to function!

What Do You Meme?

I love memes. Honestly, that is probably why I am on social media more than I used to be because there are so many great memes on my feed. I am sure a lot of people I know would not use “great” to describe memes on their Facebook feed, but alas, I love humor so naturally, I laugh at everything. Half of them are incredibly ridiculous and stupid, but I soak up the wit. The stuff that is on the Internet can be absurd, but the good memes always find a way to make me giggle. Some people truly despise them and I do not understand why! Sure, they can be silly, but isn’t life a little silly sometimes? I mean if you are going to use social media, the memes are going to be unavoidable so you might as well join in on it and enjoy them. Truthfully, I feel like I am a walking meme sometimes because my life can be an absolute joke. Oh well, I laugh it up. I have always wondered if utilizing memes for businesses on social media would be appropriate. The more I think about it, the more on the

Bringing Your A Game

Image
This afternoon I was given the chance to watch a presentation on Webinar, which I have not used before. It was a great experience. “Bringing Your A Game” is a presentation by Karen Freberg and compares the public relations industry with the sports industry and how the two relate. I was very intrigued by this Webinar because I have experienced being on a sports team before and continue with team efforts when I am involved in a play or musical ensemble. Watching the Webinar that Dr. Freberg gave opened my eyes to the opportunities that can be taken to excel when comparing the two industries. Both are fast paced, must be innovative, willing to experiment, and learn from experiences. If you missed my live-tweeting session and would like to see a complete recap, check out my Storify !

Finstagram Should Vanish

“A picture is worth a thousand words,” and I totally agree. I love Instagram. I love looking at pictures and I love posting pictures. Besides Instagram being my favorite platform in general, I believe it is a great tool for not only personal purposes, but business purposes as well. You are able to market yourself in such a creative way. There are several social media fads that come and go, but the worst has got to be what is called, “Finstagram,” otherwise known as, fake Instagram. I hate it and I have seen awful things come from it. “Finsta” is a way to create another Instagram profile that is supposedly for posting random pictures, videos, and long captions where you can be as ruthless as you want; essentially, a diary. So, in my opinion, why not just get a diary? Sure, they can be hilarious. I have friends that have them and they go wild with their posts, (mainly posts they only want a select group of followers to see). Usually set on private, these “Finsta” users go as far as
