I try to maintain a pretty healthy lifestyle, and this has been easier than I expected in college. (That being said, the soft serve machines in Scott & KComm are my greatest weaknesses!) […]

As someone who loves sports, competition, and athletics, I get hyped for Buckeye sporting events. Friday I went to a women’s lacrosse game for the first time, which was AWESOME.

I remember sitting down to schedule classes at orientation — which was a lot more difficult and confusing than it needed to be. I think this was because I didn’t read the directions.

On January 27th I had the opportunity to attend the Scholars Student Leadership Summit with the Media, Marketing Communication leadership team. As we walked over to the event together, like typical college students, we complained about having to wake up early and give up half a Saturday. But we were all pleasantly surprised. And it wasn’t just the free bagels, coffee and Moe’s. There was […]

AU17: Comm 1101— History of Communication (Pt. II) Style: Dr. Abo presented Powerpoint lectures during almost every class period. Lecture slides were posted online before class, so I would follow along on my computer and take notes in Powerpoint. Outside of class we had to complete weekly quizzes and reading.
