Carson's Week in Review: Episode 7

Howdy friends!

    This past week I had my first exam and another lacrosse game - basically the entire highlight of the week summed up. First, I had my first big exam of the semester in Managerial Economics, a class I do somewhat enjoy because of the professor and classmates, but it is a difficult class. My main goal of the semester is just to pass. I took a bit of time studying, for me anything over an hour is honestly a lot, but I spent about three hours the night before the exam to review our notes and make sure I knew the math as well as the concepts behind the math to give myself the best shot I could. I sat down for the exam and although it took me right up until the last seconds to complete it, I felt like I did alright! We did get our grades back and I'll just say that I exceeded my expectation of just passing and did pretty well, all things considered.
    Over the weekend, our lacrosse team played our first home game of the season, hosting DePauw university from Indiana. Although I believe they are a better team than Alma, who we played the weekend prior, I think we played a better game ourselves and held them to zero points until the fourth quarter. For those of you who don't know lacrosse, it's a fairly high scoring game and at the college level its pretty good to hold a team to less than seven or eight points, let alone a single goal. We got most of the team into the game and I played for a little less than a quarter in the second half and while I only faced one shot from our opponents, I didn't allow a goal. We went on to win, 10-1 and moved our season record to 2-0. We played well overall but we definitely have some parts of our game to clean up before we play our next few games against some of the top ranked teams in the country. I am looking forward to letting you all know how we did when we get back from spring break!

Thanks for reading!

    I agree with you in terms of the semester! Sometimes when you have so much going on already all you want to do is just make it through with decent grades. Also, It really looks like you guys are going to own your season! Keep up the strong teamwork!

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
