Principles of Social Media Recap

 

    As a marketing major taking Principles of social media was extremely beneficial. Although most of the world's population uses some form of social media not everyone knows what goes on behind scenes and what all the platforms have to offer. With how much social media as a whole has grown it is nice to truly learn about it and what it all has to offer. 

    Throughout this semester we have examined the main forms of social media such as, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. We learned when the best and worst times are to post on each app, the biggest age group on the platform, and how a business can utilize the platform for its benefit. Along with that we got to see where each form of social media is most popular, and which gender uses it more. Needless to say, there is a lot of information to be discussed when it comes to each social media platform. Aside from social media we also discussed the importance of personal branding and truly marketing yourself. As a junior in college, I really took interest in this as it made me realize a lot and helped show me the things I currently need to be doing or continue doing to get my name out there. In addition to that we also talked about blogging and throughout the semester we have all been blogging. Personally, I have loved blogging and am thinking of creating a personal one separate from school. It truly has been a fun and exciting new experience from learning how to personalize my blog to how I want to even writing and posting twice a week. The last thing that I found to be one of the most important things that we examined this semester was a documentary called The Social Dilemma. I previously had created a more in-depth blog about the documentary as it sheds light on the importance of bringing awareness to how social media is and can negatively impact individuals worldwide. 

    Overall, this semester has been truly an amazing experience from learning more about social media, blogging and so much more. I am beyond happy I chose to take this course and cannot wait to be abale to take all that I have learned from it and put it to use.

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 ...

Previously on...

           How do you spend you weekends? Well for me  this past weekend was packed full to say the least. Starting off the weekend with Friday I began with my classes; I had my Principles of Marketing at ten o'clock and then ended my class day with Geo Analytics at eleven o'clock. Following that I drove back home to Findlay which is only roughly a twenty-five minute drive taking a mix of back roads and the high way. I had a couple hours of downtime before I had to be at work at Texas Roadhouse. I was scheduled to work at six but if you know me you know I like to show up early for my shifts so I arrived to work about fifteen minutes early. Then after work one of my friends came into town so I spent time with him and we were able to catch up on life and everything. Immediately after spending time with him I went straight home and went to bed. Saturday then came way to soon and I was awaken bright and early by my baby sister who had asked me to make her ...
