My Simternship & Book Experience

social media trends ...    

    

    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 around 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. It was also on our platform Stukent. Stukent made everything so easy since it was online and I didn't have to remember a physical book or I would be straining my eyes reading an actual textbook.

    As for the book, I thought it was the perfect pair with the class itself and the simternship. I felt the layout and chapters were well organized so I could easily understand the material. I also liked the statistics page for each platform. It also helped that for each It helped me that it was broken into each platform being a different chapter. 

    I overall enjoyed this textbook as much as I can enjoy a textbook.

    I completely agree! I typically HATE textbooks, but every class I have taken that uses Stukent I end up actually liking the book. I liked how this book was very straightforward and not one chapter felt too lengthy or had information that was not relevant to what we need to know. My simulation experience was also similar to yours...I was ready to kill it and ended up not performing very well. :(

Week 14: Wrapping Things Up...or So I Thought

Image
     As the semester starts to end like anyone else, I'm looking forward to the summer. I know that it'll be nice to have a break from academics and to work for some money to use the following school year.       Everything has mostly been fine since I got back last Friday. As mentioned I was able to make it to the Greek Olympics. But then my nurse and doctor called me the following Thursday saying some of my typical bloodwork results were not looking so good. So alas I packed up and left Ada again. Thankfully this time I didn't have to be admitted through the emergency department and was able to have my doctors directly admit me which relieved some stress.       Pretty much as soon as I got to the floor they started taking a lot of my blood to run various tests. I also have been attached to fluids to make sure I'm hydrated but walking around with an IV pole is harder than you would think. I have also been taking many additional medications to rule out some issues.

Week 5: Ruby at Northern Recap

Image
     Over this past weekend, my sister drove up to Northern and we had a BLAST! She happened to have a long weekend for Presidents Day so I asked her to come visit me.       As she starts to now look at colleges as a junior in High School I wanted to show her what an average weekend in college looks like for me.       She drove up early Friday afternoon due to the snow starting. Once she got here we first unloaded her car because I had her bring me some groceries from home. Once we did that we moved her car to the visitor lot and got an early dinner at WOW because again I wanted Ruby to really get the collage feel.  We pretty much just hung out around my room and the Theta house over the weekend especially since it was FREEZING and snowing. She of course ended up getting the worst weather of the season while being here. The weather definitely gave her that Northern feel and I think gave her some insight into the college reality. While she was here I also of course took her to MAC so sh

Week 2: Thinking Theta

Image
     Once again it is another dreary week here at Ohio Northern but that's not stopping me from having a great week. If there is one thing about me I love being busy and this week is definitely that. I have several things to do this week. Starting out the week on Sunday with several hours of various assignments for the development of Kappa Alpha Theta. I really LOVE having a position in my sorority. It really has not only gotten me more involved but also helped me to better the chapter. I currently hold the position of the VP of DEI. It turns out that I like it more than I originally thought I would when I was applying to hold an executive position.     Having this position means so much to me as I worked very hard my first year to be able to have the opportunity to hold a position. Over the summer as a new freshman out of my first year of college, I also had the opportunity to attend the Kappa Alpha Theta's National Emerging Leaders Conference. I originally only applied for th
