Halloweekend

    Many of my friends are much more outgoing that I am in terms of the college party scene. I am certainly not a party girl. I don’t drink alcohol or stay up late (if I wasn’t in rehearsals, I would be in bed by 10:30pm). Many of my friends, however, really enjoy going to parties, staying up late and, spending time with people in the evenings. I’ve never had an interest in going to parties. I was never invited to parties in high school. I have been invited to parties here at ONU but, all of my close friends know that it isn’t really my scene. However, I always appreciate that they extend the invitation – it really shows how much they care about me and want to include me.

    This weekend, I worked up the courage and, attended my first college party! Since it was Halloween weekend (Halloweekend as I have heard so many people call it) and I felt comfortable around the people who were throwing the party, I decided that I could spend an hour or two hanging out with me friends and seeing what they enjoy doing. I ended up staying for two hours and having a lot of fun! It is definitely different that what I am used to, but I knew everyone in attendance and was able to enjoy myself. However, after this weekend, I definitely know for certain that I am not going to be a frequent partygoer. It is true that I would much rather spend time with my friends cuddled up on the couch for a movie night or baking cookies.

    I am glad that I went this weekend –because I had fun, I learned that parties are necessarily as scary as I had originally thought, and I now know for sure that I am not the party type. It definitely was a great Halloweekend spent with friends! 🎃

    Emily I'm glad you had a great Halloween weekend! I can totally relate to you about staying in sometimes. I love relaxing and watching movies after a long week of school and soccer. However, I have to admit I love going out to party. Halloween is an adrenaline rush and this year me and my roommate dressed up as Dorothy's to go out. We had so much fun but I like to say at ONU you always have someone to go out with which makes the party scene a comfortable atmosphere. But again I am so happy you went out and had a great night! I hope you have many more to come!

Essentials of Social Media Marketing Textbook Review

     Essentials for Social Media Marketing has been a really beneficial resource for this course and easy to navigate. I know now that I did not utilize the textbook to its full extent in the first half of the semester because I didn’t really have the time to sit down and explore the different elements in each chapter. However, in the second half of this semester, I really took advantage of the PowerPoints and chapter quizzes to familiarize myself with the material and study for the final exam.      I feel like the content in each chapter was very easy to understand and the layout of each section made sense to me. I had an online textbook in my history course over the summer and that was a nightmare for me – it was all text with very minimal headings or chapter organization. This online textbook was so easy to work with and made the information easier to comprehend. I definitely liked the set-up much better than any other experience with an online textbook material.      The simulation

Chapter 13 Reflection

     This week in “Essentials of Social Media Marketing”, I read about social media marketing campaigns. I think this is really interesting and is probably the chapter that ties the most to my Arts Administration minor. In Arts Admin, even this semester in Grant Writing, we always talk about the many campaigns and processes run in order to keep a non-profit successful and to promote their work. Next fall, I will be taking Arts Marketing & Audience Development, which will tie even more into the idea of creating, planning, and overseeing a marketing campaign. I believe that is actually the final project for that course. It is cool to have some prior experience learning about a more specific kind of marketing campaign through this class – a social media marketing campaign.      Now, I know that currently I do not use many social media sites for my own personal use. However, I feel like taking this course is preparing me for using social media when it comes to Arts Administration and p

Social Media Podcast

     I made my first ever podcast this weekend! Our podcast assignment was intended to discuss social media issues and topics. I knew right away after looking at the rubric who I wanted to join me in this podcast. Ruthie Osowski is our Social Media Coordinator for ONU Theatre Arts and, she manages all of our social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. She was also that main person in charge of our social media content during the run of Beauty and the Beast.    We discussed some really interesting topics, including how she got her position with ONU Theatre Arts, what some challenges are as it pertains to social media managing, what her process was like for planning the content in regard to Beauty and the Beast, some of the issues she had to deal with on different social media platforms with B&B content and, her personal take on the differences between running a personal social media account versus a professional social media account.      Ruthie is a year above me but,
