My "Different" Experience at ONU Social Media Workshop

 One thing about me is that I’m not a big fan of long conferences or seminars but when I have to go for a part of my grade I will be there being present. This recent seminar I was not present or attentive to anything going on to be fully honest. The reason why I wasn’t really focused was due to the time of the seminar. If people know me they would know I'm not a morning person so having to be at an event at 9:30 am definitely a number on my body in terms of my energy. But one of the more basic reasons why I didn’t feel that I was locked in on the seminar was because it had nothing to do with anything I was looking to study. Even though I picked a class for social media it was technically a fill in course because I’m a finance major so this class is really far from what I’m looking to gain with my degree. But even though I didn’t enjoy it that much I at least can talk about some of the things I heard during the seminar.

To start off my day I listened to our keynote speaker Jason Therrien who was the first keynote speaker we had for the event who didn’t graduate from Ohio Northern University. His talk was interesting for me because he got the crowd involved even though people were tired due to the early start. He also talked about the truth about the future trends going out in the world of social media. After that I can’t really tell you about much else because I wasn’t actually listening to what was going on but some of the session I went to was about topics like, Skills to quickly improve your social media presence, how to properly use AI (artificial intelligence) in social media without abusing it, and make meaningful impacts within your social media career. There was one that stuck out to me at the end of the event and it was actually from an alumni of the university who currently works with Abercrombie and fitch’s social media team. The reason why this one stuck out to me was that it came from someone who was in the same position I was in and also that they work at a brand that I am actually familiar with unlike the other speakers.

Social Media Marketing using TikTok Shop

In this week's chapter we talked about social media marketing on the constantly growing app TikTok and in this post I want to dig a bit deeper into one of TikTok’s newest features. It has already been well established that TikTok has proven itself to be more than just a platform for viral dances and memes. With over 1 billion active users, it’s become a powerhouse for brands looking to connect with audiences in creative and authentic ways. And with the introduction of TikTok Shop, the platform has officially blurred the lines between content and commerce, opening up new possibilities for marketers and businesses of all sizes. At its core, TikTok thrives on short form video content that feels organic and engaging. Unlike traditional ads, TikTok videos are often native in feel, blending storytelling, humor, trends, and creativity. This authenticity builds trust, and trust is gold in marketing. Now, with TikTok Shop, that trust can be converted directly into sales without users ever l...

Week 7: Team run and the importance of rest and recovery

  Last week, during an intense football team run, I began pushing myself in a way that I quickly regretted. For our lineman we did plate pushes, one of the most straining exercises on the field while our skill position players did running. As I powered through the sets, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, a familiar twinge that instantly reminded me of an old injury and it instantly made me fall to the ground. It wasn’t long after that I had reinjured my lower back. Plate pushes, which require explosive strength and core stability, are great for building power and conditioning. However, they also place a significant strain on your back, especially if your form isn't spot-on or if you're dealing with a pre-existing injury. Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened to me. I tried pushing through the pain, trying to ignore the signals my body was sending me, and now I’m paying the price for pushing myself too hard again. This experience reminded me of how crucial it is to pr...
