Concluding Summer Courses: From Tough Beginnings to Exciting Journeys

 Hey there everyone!

    It's crazy that my summer PR in Social Media course is almost over. The journey has been an incredible experience, full of learning opportunities, challenges, and joy. I'll admit that the first brief moments of class were a little difficult. It took some time to get into the swing of things, and the requirements felt overwhelming. But everything made sense once I knew what was expected of me.

From Doubt to Self-Assurance

    The tasks and projects seemed like a mountain to conquer at first. It was overwhelming to create the ideal social media campaign, examine stats, and interact with fictitious audiences. But as the weeks passed, I began to understand it. The Stukent Simternship in Social Media was a game changer. It enhanced the interaction and enjoyment of the learning experience. I was observing the unfolding of my plans as I conducted simulated ads aimed at various demographic groups. It proved to be an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

Grind Time: Finals Week



    It has been particularly difficult this week. I'm getting ready for two final exams: one for my PR in Social Media class and another for my lab in Anatomy and Physiology I. The preparation for both has required a lot of juggling. While PR in Social Media requires a lot of critical thinking and creativity, Anatomy and Physiology require a lot of memorization and knowledge of difficult ideas.

Looking Forward

    In addition to all of that, I'm getting ready for my summer classes' second session. Even though it seems like there will never be a break, I'm persevering. My motivation comes from thinking about what's in store for this coming weekend. On Friday, my family and I are visiting an amusement park ( Kings Dominion); hello, cotton candy and roller coasters! We will then hike Shenandoah Mountain on Saturday. I'm excited because it will be the ideal fusion of nature therapy and adrenaline.


Last Remarks 



    From a difficult beginning to eventually grasping the material, completing this summer course has been a roller coaster in and of itself. It's been a fulfilling experience, and I can't wait to use what I've learned in other courses. I'm looking forward to a fun-filled weekend with my family and finishing my finals!

Continue to be amazing,

It's in Ada not Columbus

      As an international student applying to colleges online, you really don't know where you're going until you're there in person. Let me take you all back to March 2020 when schools had been closed for over three months due to COVID-19, and this high school senior had just received his denial letter from the Canadian embassy stating that the country was no longer accepting international students because of COVID-19. I was devastated when I received that letter because I had already been accepted and given a full ride to one of the best colleges in Ontario, Canada. So, what was my next move? My dad always said to never put your eggs in one basket, so what did I do? I started applying to colleges in the U.S. through a non-profit organization that simplifies students' college application journeys called the Common App. The Common App is where I found ONU, the place where I would make the best memories of my life, meet my soon-to-be best friends, and a place I would cal

Summer Highs and Lows

 Selam lehulachin (peace be upon you in Ethiopian), fellow enthusiasts of summer! ☼ Allow me to give you a quick overview of my summer adventures while I balance summer classes, a new internship, and some family time! First off, I recently started working as a Sales Manager at Green Start Tech and I'm loving it. I'm getting ready to submit my first proposal for a federal contract; it's an exciting process. Cross those fingers for success! While I'm conquering the corporate world, I'm also tackling summer classes like a pro. Who said learning can't be fun, right? haha I'm just kidding, it's actually a bit hard I must admit. Taking an Anatomy and Physiology class online is hard, and learning how to manage my time between classes and work has been very crucial this past week. Let's now discuss nerves! I'm a little nervous because I have my driver's license exam in a little while. But hey, I think got this! all those driving hours weren't for

Bk's Summer Adventures

Hello everyone, or Selam Selam in Ethiopian! Now is the moment when I tell you about some of the fascinating and enjoyable activities I've been doing. Thus far this summer has been filled with unique adventures, personal development, and tons of fun. Allow me to share a few of my trips with you. One of my favorite things about this summer has been teaching my uncle how to swim. It's been incredible to watch him go from hesitant splashes to confident strokes. Starting with the basics, we focused on the importance of floating and basic kicking techniques. My uncle's joy on his face at being able to float in the water by himself by the end of last week made all of my lessons worthwhile. You see, it's not just my uncle who is picking up new skills. I now make running a part of my summer routine. It feels so good to run on the sidewalks just before sunset or first thing in the morning while listening to my Afro-beats soundtracks. Whether I go for a quick jog around the neigh
