Previously at Ohio Northern University

     Let's first begin with how is it already April. Personally I feel as if the year has just begun especially spring semester. Now we only have 6 weeks left and it is going to fly by quick. 

    First with my Legal Environment class we have our pitch competition coming up quick with a practice presentation time during class next Wednesday. With that being said my group and I are quickly adding final touches to what we want to mention in our pitch and creating a poster board as a visual for the judges. Along with that we have our third quiz this Wednesday that I am studying for to make sure I am fully prepared. 

    Second in my Marketing class we have our third exam on Monday which allows me time to get plenty of studying in on top of the other assignments I need to complete. In this class we have a presentation that we were given the whole semester to work on so my plan is too also take a look at my part of the presentation and clean it up to make it more professional. We also have a smart-book assignment that needs to be completed but those tend to not take that much time to complete especially if you already understand the material beforehand. 

    Then we have my Social Media class, on Friday we have a Social Media Workshop to attend which is being hosted by our college. I have actually been looking forward to attend as I have never went to an event like this thus far. We also have our usual AP quiz and weekly blogs to post. Other than that we do have an additional assignment which is on Pinterest that is due this Tuesday. I also plan to set time aside to work on our simulation. 

    Lastly, my management class is more easy going and there is not much to worry about in that class thus far. I have personally found that class to be intriguing and have loved learning every ounce that I have been able to. In Geo Analytics we have our A8 assignment due on Wednesday but, my main focus pertaining to this class is to start working on my final research poster so I can get it done and be able to re-advise and edit anything that doesn't seem right and to make it look very nice. 

On another note, with it being Spring time my best friend and I plan on going to as many sporting events as we can this semester once the weather becomes nice again.

Journey of Jaelynn

           Today was the first day back at Ohio Northern University for spring semester. For me it will probably take me a few class days to get back in the swing of things as I took fall semester off and only had two online classes. However, I am very excited as I begin my time as a Marketing major. After I graduate from Ohio Northern I am hoping to put my Marketing degree in use in the Art field. Specifically in Art Galleries. Now personally I have no talent when it comes to drawing, painting, and generally all hands-on art that individuals can create. With that being said, even though I don't have that level of artistic ability I have always been drawn to it. To be able to look at certain pieces of art and try to find the true meaning behind each and every piece of artwork. When it comes to art, I love being able to hear how everyone's perspective on certain artworks. I find it beautiful how we all take in things differently and come up with differe...

Social Media's connection with Mental Health

  Is there a connection between social media and mental health? The answer to that question is yes and as technology grows and social media platforms progress the more individuals are aware of the connection.      On a personal level I have first-hand come to realize how social media can affect one's mental health. I remember when I first got on social media, I was constantly comparing myself to other females on the platform and wished that I could look like how they did. Then I was fixated on how many likes I got on each of my posts. Social media was destroying my mental health and self-esteem day in and day out. I would constantly look at my phone to see if I had any notifications from someone trying to follow me or liking one of my posts. However, I made changes and over the years since then I have made sure to take time away from social media by completely deleting my accounts and refocusing in on me when I started to feel the negative impact again. Social media ...

The Social Dilemma

      Let me introduce to you The Social Dilemma , a documentary that goes into the depths of the problems the world is facing with technology and social media. A compelling insight on the risks of addiction, mental health disorders when using social media.      Throughout the documentary it explores and dives into explaining how social media companies use algorithms in order to track their user's behavior and increase engagement. Former Facebook engineer Justin Rosenstein goes into depth how users are being sold to advertisers, and in a way, users are selling their attention away to them. Then Tristan Harris a former Google design ethicist goes in to explaining the addiction to social media platforms and the similarity it has between Vegas slot machines which are primarily designed to keep and maintain one's attention.      Another main topic that is focused on throughout the documentary is how misinformation has spread globally through thes...
