Getting involved as a Polar Bear


After my first week of being a Polar Bear, I know I’m in the right place! I am enjoying my class load this semester as it is about many things public relations and social media! The advantage of smaller class sizes and one - on - one attention helps me to grow as a professional but also as a person.
While being here for a week, I have signed up and plan to get involved with many organizations on campus. Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)  is one of them. “In 1968, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) founded PRSSA to cultivate relationships between students and public relations professionals. PRSSA aims to foster understanding of current public relations theories and practices, encourage the highest ideals and principles, instill a professional attitude, and encourage PRSA Associate Membership and eventual Accreditation in Public Relations.” 
To me, the history of PRSSA is what sold me on joining the group and becoming a member. I am very much a people person. Relationships, both personal and professional, are what fuel me. I saw that ONU had a very active, supportive, and cohesive group, and I knew this is where I wanted to be. I believe connection and who you know helps to form a good base in your career and your abilities make you even more marketable.
Another group on campus that has sparked my interest is University Singers. I was very active in my high schools music program and the music programs within my community. I knew I wanted to continue that passion even if it was on a small scale and look forward to every rehearsal and learning with such a talented group of musicians.
Those are just two groups that I have shown interest in will help me to make my mark on this university and in my career. There are many more organizations that I am exploring but those by far are two of my favorites. What were some of the groups that you have joined? Leave a comment below!

Can I be Klondike?

Being Klondike, the mascot here at Ohio Northern, is a big deal! It is a huge reveal when the persons who are Klondike graduate or end their Klondike careers. I have heard and have seen many pictures of the head reveal, and it is an exciting event for everyone. I happen to have a background as a mascot, and the hope to be Klondike one day is there. In my senior year of high school, no one was able to be our high school's mascot, Sparty the Spartan. There was one basketball game, and the opposing school had brought their mascot the Colt. I turned to my sister and our best friend Grace and said where's Sparty? I then ran over to my principal, who is a dear family friend to ask where Sparty was and that I wanted to be Sparty for the game. He laughed, and we went to get the outfit. This was a spur of the moment, but knowing how fun I am, this wasn't surprising to many. Let me preface that the costume had just been dry cleaned, and I am 5'3. The outfit was a little bit b...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

  For my final blog post, I had this big thank you letter written to Aggie but accidentally deleted it. So now I am going to write something a little bit more exciting! The holidays!!! December has a lot of fun days coming up!!   For starters it is Christmastime so listening to Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do in the car and studying for exams. During December there are a few other celebrations. My twin, Andrea and I are celebrating our 21 st birthday on Dec.20 and my mom’s birthday is Dec.26! Those will be great celebrations with a lot of adult beverages.   I am a huge fan of traditions or yearly events especially during the holiday season.One of the things my family does is drive around the neighborhood or a light display and see all the pretty lights and set ups. I went with Zach and a couple of friends this past weekend to the Upper Sandusky lights! They did not disappoint. I am looking forward to seeing new light displays in our new neighborhoo...

So Long Spooky Season

    So Long Spooky Season             This past weekend was Halloween!! Friday night was a girls night! A group of friends and I went to two events on campus. The first was called A Haunted Walk sponsored by the student planning committee (SPC). This occurred out by the sand volleyball courts and we walked along the green monsters with spooky stores shared along the way. It was a good event, I would have loved to see it even more interactive but happy it was short as it was cold and rainy. The second event was Haunted Hill Sponsored by a Fraternity and History group on campus. It was a little spooky if I’m being honest. Friday night was a great time!             On Saturday My boyfriend Zach and I had a great time! We worked Admissions in the morning, then I went to the ONU volleyball game (which ONU won) and then I took a nap. Zach was on call so he stayed in his ...
