College Meals On A College Budget

Recently I was assigned the task of creating a video for my Social Media Principles class. While thinking of what I could do, I noticed I was hungry. Then it hit me, I can make an informational video for my college peers who are on a budget, and trying to eat a little bit healthier. I went to the grocery store, and 15 dollars later I had all of the necessary ingredients to make a stir-fry. 

The meal is quick, easy, and taste great. After completing this video I thought about actually doing a weekly series. I would probably take a latté more time explaining the cooking process, and what the steps should look like as you go. I enjoyed this assignment, it was a good chance for us to learn how to use IMovie, and what all goes into the production process. The video is posted below, enjoy!

This Week In Ada

This week in Ada was eventful, and did not disappoint. Thursday night was trick or treat for the village. It was good to see so many parents and their kids dressed up, and out walking around town. Halloween is always a fun time of year. We get the chance to see people be creative and expressive with costume ideas. My roommates and I took full advantage of living off campus in Ada. We bought two big bags of candy thinking that would be sufficient, we were wrong. The last few trick or treaters received granola bars, though a healthy alternative, we had some disappointed looks. 

The weekend was just as fun. The Polar Bears played Marietta under the lights Saturday, and put on quite a show. The Bears won by a margin of 40 points. The weather could not have been better.

After the game the streets of Ada were filled with creative costumes, and some not so creative. For the first time in the last couple of years we did not have snow on the ground before Halloween, whether that is a good or bad thing is for you to decide.  Saturday ended, we set our clocks back, November arrived, and we are moving forward. October came and went in a flash. I am looking forward to seeing what November has to offer.

PRSSA National Conference

Every year, members of the Public Relations Student Society Of America (PRSSA) have the chance to attend a National Conference. The conference is in a new city every year. Typically the city is picked based on the diversity, economic growth, and opportunities for public relations students offered. This year the conference location is Atlanta, Georgia. 

Atlanta is a thriving city filled with many great professional opportunities. The city is home to many public relations firms such as Edelman, Porter Novelli, Ketchum, Jackson Spaulding, and several others. The city is also home to many iconic brands such as Coca Cola, General Motors, Chick-Fil-a, CNN, and many more. Conference attendees will have the chance to tour different companies, and firms as well as hear from the top executives running the show. The opportunity for professional growth by attending this conference is phenomenal. Attendees have the chance to network, pick the brains of fortune 500 leaders, and work on their PR skills.

The conference is not all work and no play. Attendees have the chance to explore Atlanta, and see what the city culture is all about. The list of things to do in Atlanta is never ending. Atlanta is home to a word class aquarium and zoo, Central Olympic Park, High Museum Of Art, Turner Field, Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site, and so many more. The conference begins this Friday November 5^th. Atlanta is about to host the largest public relations student group in the nation. Registrations for this year is over, watch out for next years city selection.
