First Time at PRSSA ICON!

Image
 This past weekend I traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) international conference (ICON) for the first time! It was a unique experience for me since it was my first time going as well as seeing one of my professors Alisa Agozzino who goes by Aggie receive the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Outstanding Educator Award. At the conference, I heard from various speakers two interesting topics that I enjoyed Artificial Intelligence (AI) and The Race Card Project. From the AI session on learned about the innovations of AI plus how Public Relations professionals can utilize AI for brainstorming. The other session which was after Aggie received her award was The Race Card Project campaign. I learned so much about this campaign! The person who ran this her name is Michele Norris, she started this campaign by asking people around the world to share their experiences about their identity in just six words as a starting point for

Productive Fall Break

Image
     My fall break was very productive and not as relaxing as I wanted it to be but sometimes having a break means putting some work in. However, I did have fun in some different ways over fall break starting with Friday and ending with Tuesday.     On  Friday, I went to my cousin's wedding. Her ceremony was in the woods with fairy lights and the reception was beautiful! They had hibachi for dinner, where they would make the food before you. The dance floor was beautiful as well it overlooked the pond where you could stand in a gazebo to look out at the pond. I had an amazing time at the wedding and even learned that my brother's Senior Night was on Tuesday.     On  Saturday, I worked a lot on my case study for my Public Relations Case Study class. I am writing about the controversy over Shein's business practices. When I was writing my case study it was interesting to learn about the business operations of Shein and a documentary of Shein's business operations came out

Living in a Tourist Spot

     If you are not familiar with Hocking Hills it is a national state park located in Logan, Ohio. I live here and I get a lot of questions about do I go hiking a lot, what is it like living in a tourist spot, and wow you are lucky to live there! Thinking about all these comments I reflected on what it was like living in Hocking Hills when I was younger to now. I realized that so much has changed from when I was a little girl to being a woman now. Back in the day, we didn't have as many boutique shops and little restaurants to eat at along with so many coffee places. Ever since 2020, Hocking Hills has been thriving all year around. It makes me very happy about the place that I live in along with seeing it grow throughout the years.  I do have some favorite spots and things to do in Hocking Hills: 1. Going to the Coffee Emporium and getting the Whispering White Mocha Iced with almond milk. It is one of my favorite coffee choices that I have ever had in my life which I don't kno

Movie Review: Haunted Mansion

Image
Have you heard about the movie called Haunted Mansion? Of course, I mean the new film! I told my mom that I think the newer movie of The Haunted Mansion is better than the old one. I have probably rewatched the movie about five times already. To give you a short recap on what the movie is about a single mom named Gabbie with a son named Trevor. She buys a new house and soon finds out it is inhabited by a bunch of ghosts, so she hires a tour guide, a priest, a psychic, and a historian to exorcise her house. The movie is a great mixture of spooky, funny, and family-friendly. I loved the storyline of the movie starting off the movie with the tour guide named Ben. He loses his wife due to her getting in a car accident throughout the whole movie and talks about wanting to see her again so tries everything in the movie so he can apologize for not being there for her.   Each person in the movie is dealing with some difficulty but you can tell that each person in the movie cares about each oth

Mid-Term Week Stress

Image
    A couple of weeks ago I had mid-terms. Let me tell you I was overwhelmed and stressed to the max! I had so many assignments  that were due along with having to study for exams in one week. However, I figured out a way to get through the week and not have to stress too much about the assignments and exams.     During this week, I had to give a big presentation to my Public Relations Case Study class. With the presentation, I had to make it interactive with the case I was given which was about the United Airlines incident with deplaning people with brute force. It was a very interesting case and how it was resolved. It has definitely helped me realize how much strategic thinking goes in to a business when there is a big situation that they are given and how they are going to respond to it as quickly and  give accurate information when making statements to the public.      Another thing that happened that week was having two exams! One in Operations Management and the other in my Inte

Introverted Antics with Ammryn

     Have you ever had a weekend where you were just like I am happy just to stay in my room and not have to go anywhere or do anything? Well, that was me this weekend. I was so excited this weekend because I knew I didn't have a lot going on with work, having to go grocery shopping or even hanging out with friends. Don't get me wrong I love doing these activities, especially hanging out with my friends but sometimes I like to have some alone to just breathe and not interact with people.     Over the weekend, my plan was to do some schoolwork on Saturday however I woke up that morning and decided not to do it. You're probably wondering what you do for the rest of the day then, well I just watch TV shows and catch up on shows that I haven't had time for the past few weeks due to schoolwork and late-night meetings or classes. It was an awesome day including getting a lot of cleaning done the day before I leave for fall break so I wouldn't have to do much cleaning. Als
