Week 11: Is it Break Yet?

Hi all, I hope you are all doing well. I don’t know about you all, but I am stressed. It is over halfway through the semester, and I have so much to do that I am quite literally drowning in schoolwork. I knew coming into this semester that six classes and 18 credit hours while doing my capstone would be no joke, and I am correct. Not only that, but I have been so busy with extracurriculars as well, and I’m sick, which is nothing new, just not great on top of my chaotic school schedule right now. This week has mostly consisted of trying to stay afloat and not hit my breaking point because any minute, I feel like I will snap. 

I have the longest to-do list of assignments every day, and I am so behind on so many things, including my Capstone. This week alone, I’ve had two decently sized and important presentations. My strategy right now is just to take it day by day. I truly am just waiting for Thanksgiving Break so that I can finally have a break from school and responsibilities. 

Until Thanksgiving Break, my goal is going to be to try my best to stay motivated and on top of everything. I know I can do it. I just have to lock in and stay on top of things. Seniortites is definitely kicking in, though.

Thanksgiving break cannot come any faster. But for now, I will take it day by day and continue to lock in and stay on top of school.

But for now, I will be dreaming of Thanksgiving Break.

Week 1: Welcome Back To School (Senior Year Edition)

Image
Welcome back to All In With Althea! I honestly missed being able to update this blog; it's like a visual diary, and I love being able to share my life in this way!  My first week back has been hectic to say the least!  I started out by moving in last Tuesday for Klondike's Crew to help move in the new freshmen here at ONU. After that, I immediately got sick with a fever that night (thanks, chronic illness), but that's nothing I couldn't handle, even though it did still suck. I then just rested up and was back to “better” by Friday. Then, throughout the rest of the week, I was able to adjust back to campus life and get on a consistent schedule. I then had a very busy Sunday. I first went to the Welcome Fest, where all the campus organizations and clubs attend to recruit new members, and I helped out at the Art Club for my friend, since we are working on reviving the club. Later Sunday night, we as a Greek community at Ohio Northern came together to hold Greekpalooza, wh...

Chapter #7: Silly Snapchat

Image
Chapter #7:      Snapchat is widely known especially among Generation Z. It is rare if someone around my age doesn't use Snapchat. Snapchat is a photo messaging app where you can send photos back and forth with friends and family or post them to your story for your followers to see what you may be up to. In the graph shown in the book, it shows that from the 1st quarter of 2024 to the 1st quarter of 2022 the number of active daily users has had a steady increase each quarter of the year.     Within the statistics of Snapchat, the most used age is what I expected which ranges from 18 to 24. But the users of men and women are almost the same which is rare for almost the same amount which is 51% of females to 49% of males. When looking at the other stats I was surprised to see the amount of users in each country and how India surpasses the United States. I also found that on Advererage the typical Snapchat user only spends about 21 minutes a day on Snapchat an aver...

Chapter #6: Twitter... I mean X

Image
Chapter #6:     X is more commonly known as its former name Twitter whereas X was created by Elon Musk after he bought Twitter back in July of 2023. I know that it is popular but I haven't even opened the app since I was told to download it in my high school journalism class.      X allows users to share a post with less than 280 characters and images if they choose to do so. Today X has over 368 million monthly users that send over 6,000 posts every second. X's original purpose was for friends to communicate. Now it is a worldwide social networking site. People go to X now for daily news, sports, and politics.       Marketing with X is key. It allows the brand or company to have a voice and gives them the opportunity to engage with customers and followers more easily compared to other platforms.       I nfluencers are a major part of marketing in 2024. Even on X, they use influencers for marketing and advertising.   ...
