Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest!

Pinterest is a social media platform that I believe is greatly unused. The platform allows users to create and share "pins" which are most commonly an image, video, or link to another source. Users have the opportunity to save these pins and organize them into a "board." Founded in 2009 by a group of college friends, Pinterest was originally created as a platform for people to showcase a collection of things they were interested in. It is fascinating to see the versatility that Pinterest has for businesses that want to market their goods on. A business can create a business account and then create their first Pinterest board which should cater to their desired demographic. A key component when creating a board is to include keywords in the titles so that users will see the board more often. The business user than should include visually appealing pins to the board which reflect what the business does. The final touch is for them to select a cover pin that will be seen before seeing the full board. 

This past week, I received the opportunity to create my own Pinterest board. This was the first time I had used the social media platform and was confused by the user-interface at first. It took a little bit of time to get used to how it worked, but I began to enjoy using Pinterest once I got into a groove. As I scrolled through the endless selection of pins, I continued to find new ideas that I could use for my board. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with my creation of my board and even installed the app on my phone. Pinterest can be a great platform to utilize for an increase in creativity and ideas.

    Pinterest just doesn't appeal to me. Even when we talked about it in class it did not peak my interest. Maybe with the assignment coming up my mind will change.

The End

Image
The end has finally approached us and has become reality. It still feels like the first weeks of August to me where I first stepped into the classroom. I am so grateful for this semester at Ohio Northern University as I believe I learned the most I ever have before. I not only excelled academically but also learned so many important life lessons. This place will forever hold a very special place in my heart as it turned me into a whole different person since I graduated high school. I am excited to go back to Tennessee and reconnect with all of my old friends, but there will always be a missing feeling of not having my buddies there. Luckily, I live in an age where technology can allow us to connect and disconnect with each other in a click of a button. This not only makes moving back to a different state easier for me but also takes a lot of stress off of me. I feel confident that the relationships I have built here will last as long as I am willing to stay connected. It is not the bi

Approaching the Final Stretch

Image
After this weekend, the students of Ohio Northern will be approaching the final stretch until finals. We have approximately four weeks until Thanksgiving break. Once Thanksgiving break is over, we will only have two more weeks of schoolwork before finals. While this still seems like a lot of time, it has already been two weeks since our fall break. Personally, these past two weeks have gone by faster than usual and I feel these final weeks will only go by faster. Although we will still have to deal with projects and essays, I think it is important for students to remember we are only in college for a finite amount of time. We should try and make the most of these final weeks by whatever means we find necessary.  What are some fun events that will take place at Ohio Northern over the next few weeks? There is only one more home football game and the team will be facing against Wilmington. I encourage all students to experience at least one of these games because they are a lot of fun. Wi

Cancelled Out

This week I was able to explore my ability to host a podcast show. The amount of creativity needed to create a quality podcast allowed me to respect the people who make a living out of them. They are not as easy as simply recording yourself and posting it, despite how much the public thinks it so. I enjoyed being able to call a connection of mine who I have known from Nashville, Tennessee. She has many years of experience with social media and devoted her college years to studying it. Her name is Rosalyn Wells and she was thrilled to be a part of this. The amount of prep that goes into the show before we even began is something I did not expect. I went into this project thinking there would be a small outline and then you would just talk for five minutes. I realized that if you were to create a quality product, then you need to spend as much time needed to get it right. The outline and collaboration with Rosalyn was humbling as she was able to teach me over the effects of social media
