A Week in my Life

Hi everyone! I thought I’d switch up my content for a post and update you all on what I do every week. My last semester of my college senior year is a lot busier than I thought it would be. I’m an accounting major with minors in marketing and management and I have a part-time job at an accounting firm in Lima.


To start off my week, I wake up bright and early Monday morning at 7:30 am to get to my 8 am tax class. Right now, we are doing a self-study period where we work to get certified to complete taxes. ONU has a program called VITA, where residents of Ada (with simple tax returns) can come to campus and us students will complete the return for them! Next, I walk back to my house and honestly nap until my next class at 11 (which is not very productive). My 11 am is database management and we are learning how to import/export data into Microsoft Access and all the things you can do with said data. After my class, I walk home and eat lunch and drive to work. I get to work around 1:30 and stay til 5 or 5:30. Right now, I’m completing tax returns, wrapping up year-end transactions for a client and inputting data into software. This Monday schedule repeats on both Wednesday and Friday as well.

On Tuesday and Thursday, I get up around 9 to go to my social media class. For this class, I’ve started a blog, made a podcast (which you can find on my blog as well) and learned about the many ways to market to consumers on social media. After my class, I usually have a meeting because I’m a peer mentor for freshman business students. Next, I go to my HR management class at 12. We are learning about the equal opportunity act and affirmative action right now. After my management class, I walk next door to my marketing research class at 1:30. In this class, we research websites that provide big businesses with marketing insight and will have a chance to solve a problem for a company as our final project down the road. My day ends around 3, unless I have a meeting for Beta Alpha Psi (an accounting fraternity), any of my friends want to study with me, or I decide to go to a bible study (those are on Thursday nights).

After writing this blog, I’ve realized that I’m extremely busy. However, since it’s my last semester on campus, I have no regrets in joining all these activities and taking so many classes.

    This honestly was so motivating. Seeing how hard you work is inspiring because I'm only doing HALF of what you are and you still are able to be consistent even when things are tiring and maybe even stressful. Can't wait to see us both get that little piece of paper at the end of the year.

3 Places I Want to Visit

 I love traveling. I think it’s so fun to learn about how people live in different parts of the world and even other places in the US. Today, I’ll be telling you all about 3 places I want to visit in the near future. The first place I want to visit is Salzburg, Austria. This is number one on my bucket list. My grandma, who has since passed away grew up in this beautiful city and moved to America after WW2 because she fell in love with an American soldier from Kentucky. I’d like to visit the birthplace of Mozart, the Salzburg Cathedral, check out the coffee shops/boutiques and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. The picture I’ve attached below is the Bavarian mountains surrounding Salzburg. ( https://cdn.projectexpedition.com/photos/39563touractivitycsm_berchtesgardenwatzmannlockstein_7199d73c52_sized.jpg ) A fun fact about Salzburg (from my grandma), Hitler didn’t bomb this city during WW2 because he hid his prized paintings there! The second place I would like to visit is Sa...

My Favorite Foods

There are many foods I enjoy and for this blog post I’m going to try to rank my top five. I love going out to restaurants and trying new foods, but these food combinations are tried and true. Thai Fried Rice: This food is heavenly. I could eat Thai fried rice every week for the rest of my life and not get sick of it. This is hands down my favorite food of all time. I used to enjoy Chinese fried rice until I tasted Thai. I think it has to do with the seasonings and spices they put in it. I always get my Thai fried rice with chicken because I’m allergic to shrimp. I’m getting allergy tested the second week of June to see if I outgrew my allergy and if I did, I might have a new variation of fried rice to try. Thai Jasmine in Lima, Ohio is my favorite Thai restaurant ever, it’s a must visit.       Steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans: This is a classic combination. You can get it at any steakhouse, but my favorite place to get it is at my house. My dad uses a propane grill...

Debunking Twitter

Hi everyone! Keeping up with the theme of informing you all about what I’ve been learning in my class’s textbook, I will be writing this blog about the innerworkings of Twitter’s algorithm, format and how I feel about the usability of this form of social media. I had Twitter my senior year of high school to keep up with sports events in the high school I went to and my friends. I didn’t follow any businesses. I deleted it and recently redownloaded it 3 years later to see if anything had changed and it hadn’t too much. According to the textbook, “Essentials of Social Media Marketing” the algorithm relies on ranking signals such as recency of the tweet, relevancy (involving keywords), engagement (likes, comments, retweets), the number of followers of the user and location relative to the specific user. Most tweets I’ve seen on my feed were from those I follow, from where my hometown is and those accounts that many people follow (like Elon Musk). Now that I’ve downloaded Twitter again, I’...
