Just A Bear.

The Harvest and Herb Festival is an event I look forward to each fall. For the past two years, I’ve attended this festival with my friends and roommates and it’s quickly become one of the highlights of the season. This past weekend was no different, as we gathered once again to experience the vibrant energy, delicious food and unique small businesses that make this festival so special. One of the things I love most about the Harvest and Herb Festival is the sense of community. It’s not just a place to shop for handmade crafts or sample seasonal treats, it’s a celebration of the local vendors and small business owners who bring so much passion to what they do. Walking through the festival, you can feel the excitement in the air. From the colorful displays of artisan goods to the smell of fresh food wafting through the air, the festival creates an inviting atmosphere where everyone can come together and enjoy a shared experience. While this year’s festival brought the same sense of excit...

Freshman Year: Sophomore Year:     Junior Year: Senior Year: For this week’s blog, I want to share a personal story! As we wrap up the fourth week of classes, I’m feeling stressed and juggling a lot. But despite the chaos, I feel the happiest and most like myself than I have in a very long time. However, reaching this point wasn’t easy. I had to let go of something I once loved passionately for over nine years to finally start feeling like myself again. Let’s rewind to my freshman year. I was recruited to run for the Women’s Cross Country and Track teams here at Ohio Northern University. Running on the team was everything I had hoped for. I loved the people, the environment and of course, running. I came to ONU on a high, running well, traveling to meets, hitting my goals and staying consistent with my times. As the season progressed, I grew faster and more confident. When the season ended, I jumped straight into indoor track, where I continued to excel. Practices we...

  T his past week in our Social Media Strategy and Campaign class, we embarked on an exciting phase of the course: selecting the client we’ll work with for the remainder of the semester. We were introduced to three unique businesses, each with its own set of objectives and challenges and our task was to evaluate their pitches to determine which one we felt most passionate about helping. The goal of this project is to collaborate with real-world clients, providing us with hands-on experience in understanding business needs and crafting tailored social media strategies. Listening to the clients was a fun process because each business had different objectives, yet they all shared a common goal of achieving growth and success through strategic digital engagement. The client pitches included:  Tammy Schakett Fleming with Clan Fleming Scottish Society : Tammy’s organization is dedicated to celebrating and preserving the history and heritage of the Fleming clan. Her goal is to increa...

A s I dive into my final fall semester, I’m excited to get started on my senior capstone project. I’ve finally chosen my topic and I can’t wait to see how everything comes together. Since I have a strong love for the outdoors, photography and design, I thought why not combine all three? I’ve decided to create a photography lookbook that brings these passions together. The project will feature people wearing outdoor clothing from brands like Patagonia, The North Face and REI, showing how these pieces are more than just gear, they’re part of each person’s unique story. In this photography lookbook I’ll be photographing people in their natural element, whether they’re hiking, running or just enjoying the outdoors. After that, I’ll also take a portrait of them. The idea is to connect the outdoor clothing to the person wearing it, showing how these items become a part of their journey, lifestyle and personal story. Outdoor clothing is about being part of a community of adventurers and shari...
