ONU Homecoming

This past weekend was homecoming for Ohio Northern University (ONU). Homecoming is my favorite weekend because a lot of the alumni come back and I get to see friends that don't go to school here anymore. The whole weekend is filled with activities for alumni and it spans from Friday through Sunday.

As an assignment in my Principles of Social Media class, I had to live tweet an event that took place during homecoming weekend. I chose to live tweet the football game against Marietta College. A lot happened before and during the game. A few individuals were inducted into the hall of fame and the band put on a good show for pregame, then the game started. At halftime they announced homecoming queen and king and the band played again, then the game finished.

As you may know, I cheer for ONU, so it was kind of difficult to tweet and cheer at the same time, but the polar bears scored a lot, so I had great content to tweet about. ONU ended up winning 31-23. This was a huge win for the Polar Bears, moving them from sixth in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) to third.

This game was very exciting to watch, and I had so fun much live tweeting about it. I had a lot of response and even my mom said she loved keep track of the game from my tweets and wants me to do it again. Sorry mom, this was the only time I was allowed to have my phone during the game.

    I also live tweeted the homecoming game. It was quite the game to go to. There was so much scoring going on, and Marietta really pushed back at the end of the game giving all of us a scare. However, it was nice to watch ONU pull through and win the game with that late fourth quarter interception.

    I also live tweeted. I still don't know what was happening but I think I kind of understand why it's called football. I always wondered why it was called football when they're holding the ball in their hands. I mean what?

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
