Week 2 Recap

Howdy readers,

    Not too much has changed since my last post to be honest so this will be a little short and sweet. Since my last post I've had the opportunity to experience my first week back in Ada. This weekend was a fun one however as one of my roommates birthdays was on Monday so we celebrated on Sunday. To start the weekend, my birthday having roommate, Chris, had his girlfriend Emily come visit and she arrived on Friday night with a surprise for us all, Bibibop! As the weekend was off to a great start, we followed that night up with a great practice and team scrimmage on Saturday morning in the cool winter air. Practice has been going very well and we are very excited to continue our journey into my final season! 
    
    Following practice, we made our way over with a group of teammates to Lulu's diner for some late lunch. It was great to finally get back to my favorite breakfast diner as it used to be a regular weekend spot prior to COVID hitting. We used to go to Lulu's almost every weekend after practices, however this tradition was kind of cut off following us being sent home for COVID back in 2020 and unfortunately I haven't been back there since then. We had some great breakfast, I had a great breakfast bowl with eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, peppers, cheese and probably some other ingredients, as well as some of the best French Toast around!

    Following breakfast, my roommates and I returned home for some relaxation and post-practice recovery. We started the afternoon with some racing on my playstation racing setup and competed to see who could get the fastest lap out of 3 attempts on a certain track. A few of my roommates and I are big fans of professional racing and love to compete with each other through the virtual race track. Afterwards, we had a few friends over and had a really relaxing night spending time with some of our favorite people. 

Following the events of Saturday, we really took a load off on Sunday, kicked our feet back and watched some football and completed homework pretty much all day. Nothing too wild happened the rest of the weekend and quickly we were back in class on Monday. The rest of the week so far has been fairly uneventful with nothing much going on aside from classes and practice.

    I am looking forward to the rest of this week of practice and classes as we look to wrap up week 2 of the semester on a positive note! Thanks for hanging around and taking the time to recap the week with me!

See you all next week!

Personal Brand Worksheet

For this weeks blog, I completed a Personal Brand Worksheet and wanted to share this work with you all. I know this is a bit more lengthy than my typical blog post but I felt this might be interesting for you to read. I hope you enjoy! Personal Brand Worksheet Step 1: Identify your Target Audience      I'm not sure where I want to work as far as geography, however I do know I want to work in financial services, specifically as a financial advisor and most likely at Northwestern Mutual.      When looking for skill sets, experience and type of candidates, I found out that recruiters often look for people who are good with people, able to communicate and present well and who are self-driven. The experience required is not not much, mostly companies would just like to see that you have some kind of college degree, although the specific field of study is not necessarily a concern.      Common keywords related to a search of "financial advisor" include; empathetic, communicativ

Mimic Social

Howdy readers!  Throughout this semester I have been completing a social media marketing simulation called Mimic Social. Each week we were tasked with setting up a social media marketing plan for a bag manufacturing company called Buhi. We we're given a budget and had to plan out the week of social media posts on all different platforms like Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Each week we were also presented with a scenario in the simulation that we had to deal with to produce the greatest return possible. We had to choose between different types of posts and review the metrics from previous weeks the find the strategy that produced the highest amount of views, engagements and conversions.       Throughout the first seven weeks, I had to select all of the individual posts and create comments as well as choose whether or not to promote a post. These weeks took much longer to complete and a lot more thought towards my strategy because I personally had to create and customize each post.

Carson's Week in Review: Week 13

Howdy readers!     It's time for your weekly ONU Men's lacrosse update! Last week we had the opportunity to play John Carroll University up in Cleveland. This was a big opportunity for our program as we have never beaten them in school history and they have pretty much dominated the OAC for the last 5 years, winning the conference championship each of those years. We believed we had a real shot at taking them down this year as we have potentially the most talented roster in team history and have played in some big time games this season. We drove up to Cleveland the night before the game, Thursday, and stayed in the local Embassy Suites hotel, which was incredibly nice. We had pizza with the team and had some downtime to hangout and do some team bonding which was also a blast.           In the morning it was time to get ready and take the 30 minute bus trip from the hotel to JCU's campus and prep for the game ahead. We arrived two hours prior to the game, as usual, and the
