Trivia and Tweeting

-

On Feb. 8, 2018, Cheyenne Eldridge and I attempted to live tweet. Neither of us are comfortable with Twitter, so it was a unique experience. We attended the Student Planning Committee Trivia at Ohio Northern University.

The Student Planning Committee (SPC) is a student organization who plans multiple events for students throughout the school year. Some of these events include painting, bingo and of course, trivia. I have previously attended a few of these events but as well as live tweeting, this was my first trivia experience.

As soon as Cheyenne and I decided we were going to live tweet trivia, we had to get busy. First, we had to prepare our audience by letting them know we were going to live tweet. I invited my followers to join us by letting them know when and where the event started.

The intensity built as people gathered into the event. We got our phones and prepared ourselves for two hours of trivia and tweeting. Immediately, we found it uncomfortable constantly having out our phones. We were also nervous because we were afraid people would think we were trying to cheat! It was clear we were not since we did not reach top three in any of the categories.

Once we got past the awkwardness, Cheyenne and I had a blast at the event. We laughed, cheered, pouted and smiled. We did well in some categories while in others, we did not. The good thing was we did not care about winning or losing. We were only there to tweet and have a good time.

A problem we had was we found it difficult to remember to tweet because we were having such a good time! It was also difficult to keep track of which team won each round. We still tried to capture the event the best we could.

Overall, this was an enjoyable experience. Although it felt odd to constantly be on our phones, we still had a great time and successfully live tweeted. I do not know if I will ever have to live tweet in the future but if I do, I will be prepared!

You can find me on Twitter at AmberlynCrystal, and you can find Cheyenne at Cheyidge. Please help us build our undeveloped accounts!

    I am a member of SPC so I am happy you chose our event as something to live tweet! I live tweeted as well this past weekend and I felt the same way about constantly being on my phone. When I am in a meeting or at an event I try really hard to stay off of my phone so having to constantly update and be live was hard. Trivia seemed like a really successful event for us so I am glad you had a good time. Ill be sure to follow you both on twitter! Nice job.

Preparing for the Interview

Recently, I had my first big interview experience. I have interviewed for jobs before, but those required little thought or preparation.   This position, on the other hand, required much more time and effort. I ran for the graphic design intern position at Thirty-One Gifts in Columbus, Ohio. I originally found the position online and applied. To my surprise, they set up a phone interview with me. Of course, I was nervous for the phone interview, but I was not too nervous. For a phone interview, you can wear what you want and stare at the ground as much as you want without the interviewer knowing! I did research on the company to prepare. I guess my joyful voice and charming personality won over the recruiter because they invited me to their headquarters for an on-site interview. The moment I was told they wanted to interview, my mind started rolling. I truly love the Thirty-One brand, so I wanted to make sure I did the best I possibly could. Therefore, I had to do some work.

Customization is Key

-
The first step to enter into the world of social media is to create a profile. Overall, it seems simple. You enter your first name, last name, email address, username and then you are done. Sure, creating a profile is easy, but creating a professional and successful profile takes work. What I recently learned from Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick in their book “The Art of Social Media” is that there are many details that can easily be overlooked when creating a profile. A lot of these details contribute to customization. Before, I never realized the importance of the customization of your social media profiles. I thought that once your name was on the page, it was good. Kawasaki and Fitzpatrick basically stress how customizing your profile is key to making yourself appear unique and competent and I agree. If every person on Facebook had no information or pictures on their profile, what would be the point? Who would want to view their profile with nothing to engage in? It is important t

Memories from my 4-year-old self

-
When I tell my brother and sister I can vividly remember living with my dad as a child, they never believe me. They tell me it is not possible for someone to have memories from such a young age. I must admit I think it is odd I am able to remember so far back, but I also find it interesting. Before you read further, I must warn you. Some of these memories may be emotional or uncomfortable. I am not sure why I wish to share these memories. I guess they are a part of me, and I only wish for others to know they exist.  Our home: I can still remember the layout of our trailer in Kentucky. It was on a country road surrounded by a forest. It had a stone driveway and a shabby wooden porch. When you walked in the front door, you entered the main section of the trailer with the kitchen on the left and the living room on the right. Past the living room was the master bedroom in the back right-hand corner. Past the kitchen was my room in the back left-hand corner. In my room, I had a
