Carson's Week in Review: Week 8

Howdy friends!

    Last week was our first week back from spring break and let me tell you, it was difficult getting back into the swing of a regular schedule again. I went from a week where each day all that I thought about was lacrosse to waking up to my horrible alarm and going to class for multiple hours each morning and only having to focus on lacrosse for about two hours a day. The actual week itself was pretty uneventful, although I did have another lacrosse focused day on Wednesday when we traveled a few hours west to play a Trine University in Indiana. It finally felt like spring was coming back during that game as temperatures were cool and the sky was clear. Trine likes to compare themselves to us and they believe they're on the same level as we are when it comes to a lacrosse program, so we had to make sure they knew where they stood and that was below us. We still haven't played a complete lacrosse game at our teams best, and we still beat them pretty handily, 13-3. The bus ride back was fun because we won, but an hour into the drive it seemed like everyone had fallen asleep and the bus quieted down significantly. We got home around 11:30pm and it was time for bed as soon as I got home. 

    The rest of the week was pretty nonchalant especially because our game that was scheduled for Saturday in Buffalo New York was unfortunately cancelled because the other team didn't have enough active players to field a team. This was really unfortunate because we always play at least one game up in New York each and it's always a good time. We have a lot of players from New York and with the way our parents travel to games, New York always feels like a home game for us, which is really cool. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience that this year due to the cancellation, but it gave us more time to prepare for conference play to start this week when we take on Mount Union at home on Saturday to kick off OAC play!

Thanks for reading!

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
