Easter Egg Hunts

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. There’s a wonderful reason to celebrate and be thankful, that Jesus died for our sins and rose again! I love eating a nice Easter dinner, going to church and spending time with my family. I also love participating in Easter egg hunts because of the small prizes and money that is available to find. Every year my parents always give my brothers and I a cute little Easter basket as well. This year I was involved in two egg hunts. For one, I hid the eggs and for the other I found them.

I am a peer mentor for the Dicke College of Business and this year I was tasked with hiding the eggs for our annual Easter egg hunt. They were all filled with small goodies such as candy and stress relief toys. I hid some in bushes, trees, flowers, by electrical outlets and even buried some in dirt and mulch so that only a small part was visible. Here’s one of my favorite hiding spots:


We eventually gave up finding good spots to hide all the eggs (there were a lot) and scattered them all over the lawn. The egg hunt happened relatively quickly but there were a couple of eggs that I hid which didn’t get found at all. One that I was proud of was right by the building mostly buried in mulch.

The second egg hunt I was involved in happened at my boyfriend’s house. Each year his mom hides a bunch of similar eggs, and we receive a list of each we have to find. The categories this year were pink, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, metallic, glittery, polka dotted, striped and there was only one golden egg. We could only take one out of each category even if we found multiple. I was sadly not the winner, but I was able to find all of my required eggs. Then the hard part began, trying to find the golden egg. We were digging around in the woods behind the house and couldn’t find anything! Finally, my boyfriend’s dad had to hint that it may not be visible yet and we might want to grab some shovels. We located the spot by playing the classic game of “hot or cold” and started poking the ground. Suddenly AJ (my boyfriend’s brother-in-law) started digging at the ground with his hands and emerged victorious with the golden egg (which had $40 in it)! Apparently next year I need to be quicker. We got little prizes such as candy, bottle openers, magnets, socks and much more. This was my first year participating in their Easter celebrations and I plan to come back next year!

The Music I Listen To

I grew up listening to music. My parents and grandparents always had Christian, 80s, Irish and Elvis Presley playing. They had music playing while making dinner, cleaning and even while we just hung out around the house. I started playing the piano in 5 th grade for my church and I started playing clarinet in my school band in 6 th grade. I would have to say that playing instruments gave me a lot more respect for those that play instruments and sing for a living, it’s not easy. As for my personal preference of music growing up, I listened to 2000s pop, Christian and the collection of songs that my parents listened to that I enjoyed. I had a pop phase in the 2010s and then an alternative and indie phase when I was a senior in high school until I was a sophomore in college. Junior and senior year of college I listened to alternative rock, 80s rock and most recently phonk. For those of you who don’t know, phonk originated from Memphis in the 1990s. Now that I am about to graduate colleg...

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’...

My Birthday Weekend Recap

 My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...
