Last Blog: BFF

Brittany and I have known each other for so long. We meant back in Elementary, in the 3rd grade. We were both in the same class. During Elementary we were pretty good friends on and off. We became best friends in the 8th grade. We had the same teachers during our 8th grade year. 

So far Brittany and I have known each other for about 15 years. We are pretty different people, shes is an extrovert were as I am more introverted. She thinks more with her heart was me I am more logical and think with my head. Even though we are different we have this uncanny ability to say the same thing at the same time. This can get pretty weird, its like get out of my head. 

Even though I am an only child, I can honestly say that Brittany is a sister from another mother. We have just gone though so much, heck we even argue about things which if I think about it is pretty stupid. But she is one of those people who love to argue about anything. And me who likes to be right about everything but at least I can admit it. 

Over the years we have been though some pretty interesting scenarios. Going though guy troubles is definitely one of them, of course I was more of the should to cry on. 

The main tradition we have is going on trips, because I am an only child so I just invite her on some of my vacation. We went to Arizona before my sophomore year, for my moms 40th birthday. We also have gone to Florida, and actually we went this spring break.  

The other thing we would do is going to sports game, we have gone to three Indianapolis Colts games. We also have gone to so many concerts, from Taylor Swift to 3 Doors Down.    

We also were dorm mates at EKU. We though our freshman year of college together. Than she decided to move in with a guy that she though she "Loved" and went to Moorehead and I ended up going to UofL. Of course now in 2011 she ended up at UofL as well so now we get to graduate from college together. 

Relfection: Awesome Class

This semester I've learned so much about social media. I also can't believe that after this semester, I am done with college. I will definitely be using what I've learned from this class to the future. 

My favorites topics we covered were managing your online reputation. It really makes you think how one presents themselves, that its important to make sure you think before you post. Whether its on twitter or on Facebook. The example we gave in class was interesting as well, about the Justine, who tweeted about Africa. This shows just how fast one tweet can get around. Before we talked about the tweet itself I actually saw it before we talked about in class. I just couldn't believe some one could be so thoughtless.

During this semester we also had a lot of guest speakers. These speakers were great, I've learned so much from them. I especially like Lizelle and Melissa presentations. I liked Lizelle's because she talked about how she is utilizing social media fro the Dallas Mavericks, she also talked about how she got the job as well. I liked how the Mavericks were using Vine in a lot of their content online, being they are the first pro team to adapt. Melissa's presentation on crisis communication was really interesting, she showed us the top 10 rules to crisis communication and how using these 10 rul



es can help a company in a crisis, come out the other side without to much damage or reputation loss. 

Over all the blogging we had to do was fun and got me thinking about different topics I could write about. My blogs that are personal don't really have a theme, they are more just what I am interested in and what I have done up until now, especially with traveling. I hope to continue blogging, my goal is at least once a week. Hopefully I can post something more frequent but I think I'll start small and expand when time goes on. 

The two major papers we wrote gave me some insight. With the managing online reputation paper, I really got to see how much I actually am invloved. I realized with this paper I should probably post more and show that I am in fact on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Also that I even blog with Blogger. The other paper, was the Google Glass and proposing an app, that definitely got me thinking. I liked being able to explorer a new wearable technology, needless to say Google Glass is very interesting. 

During this semester we got certified in HootSuite. This is pretty awesome because we have the chance to be certified and have the option to continue to use HootSuite in the future if we chose to. 

The last area I enjoyed was our social media campaign proposals. This helped by giving me actual hands on expereince and actually coming up with ideas for a real client. Its interesting to see idea that could help some with a childrens book. 

Overall this class was awesome and I learned a lot.
