My Simternship & Book Experience

Image
               Simternship. The assignment of the semester for our Principles of Social Media class. Essentially it's exactly like it sounds. This assignment took place on our online textbook platform, Stukent. We got to simulate an actual internship or job in the field of social media. In the simternship, we ran social media posts, projects, and campaigns for a company called Buhi Bags.      I did however expect to be super good and I thought that I would kill the simternship. I definitely thought wrong. It took me a while to get the hang of how I should be doing business and figure out the best ways to post. I did finally get the hang of it maybe 6 or 7 rounds in. The system was harder than I thought and opened my eyes to my future career.      Nobody enjoys a textbook. They tend to be wordy and have small fonts; carrying it arou nd is a pain. Our textbook  Essentials of Social Media Marketing was anything but that. Not only was this book published very recently in August of 2023

Week 15: Now Wrapping Things Up

Image
     With the year coming to an end I've been slammed as everyone is this time of the year. I don't think I'll have any time to rest until we get out for the summer. But it's time to start a much-needed summer break. I have such a BUSY but fun summer planned ahead.       Right when I get back I have to start work to make some much-needed money but that'll be boring. After that a few days later I will be attending the 2024 CAPA Marquee Awards. The CAPA Marquee Awards are for high schoolers all over central Ohio to receive recognition for their school's musical of that year. Why will I be attending this? Easy. My sister is nominated for an award from the Marquees plus I've gone the last two years and had a blast with all my theater friends.        Ruby is nominated for the Backstage Excellence category for being the production manager of the musical Anything Goes. I am so proud of her knowing the countless hours she worked on the set. I think she really deserv

Netflix's The Social Dilemma

Image
             The past week in class we watched Netflix's documentary The Social Dilemma which was written and directed by Jeff Orlowski and produced by Larissa Rhodes. I saw this film before back when I was taking journalism in high school when this film was first released. I never thought much about the film when I watched it the first time which I'm sure because it was covid times. But I was excited to watch it again for this class. Although I missed about the first 20 minutes it was easy to catch up on what was happening.     The first scene I saw was very one of the infamous conversations during the family dinner. During this scene and honestly through what I saw in this movie/docu-series which played out very dramatically. I am not saying it wasn't realistic because those issues around screens and being addicted to them do happen but not to that extreme I feel.      Now I'm not the type to sit through a documentary and stay engaged/entrained. I would blame our gene
