Finals Are Coming...

Today I realized that I begin my Finals Week next week. In one of my classes, Strategic Management 4871. This course is designed to only be a ten-week course. With this course, the James F. Dicke College of Business comes our capstone projects. These projects work with Deloitte, Marathon Petroleum Company, Airstream, and Cardinal Health. Three weeks of the Strategic Management course were used to cover industry analysis for each company. The industry analysis is the first heavily graded portion of capstone within the college. Dr. Franquesa originally teaches us about this analysis he also grades this portion of the capstone project. Dr. Franquesa says that this is because it is his expertise, and the other professors would not understand. With this class ending in a week, it is beginning to hit me that my time as an undergrad is almost officially over and the next stage of my life is about to begin. In about a month I will hopefully be starting a new job. Even though I graduate in a month and will still be living in Ada. The issue here is that I potentially will be paying rent for two places. With my current housing, we have agreed that we only pay utilities when we physically are living at the house. These next few months after graduation will be an interesting transition time.

    Well, that is definitely crazy to hear seeing as I am four years away from that, and truly can not imagine it. Yet, I'm sure it will come faster than I think. Nonetheless, I hope your project turns out great and your time in transition is much of the same.

Escaping Reality

Well, I am a few blog posts behind and will be attempting to release 6 posts this week. Two posts each day, maybe not two today. This week is looking very hectic now that I have done this to myself. Last week got away from me having me miss a lot of what was happening around me. This week and the next few I am looking to focus on my surrounding world, ensuring I take time to stop and look around. This past week I missed the ability to relax for a bit, creating more stress than needed. Recently it has been a struggle to find a routine to follow, that allows for a little bit of free time to take that step back. Allowing time each day to reflect, listen, and just be in the environment around me helps me center myself and assists in creating a peaceful moment. With today being the first day of fall I made a deal to a friend that we would go for bike rides every weekend until it finally got too cold to go outside. This creates at least two hours of time immersed in nature and the surroundin...

Thanksgiving is Christmas' Shadow

With the holiday season quickly approaching it appears that Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. With Christmas and the entire season of Winter, this holiday tends to be forgotten. Stores like Walmart, Target, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, Kroger put up Christmas decorations directly after Halloween. Fall decorations disappear after October 31, and immediately winter decorations get placed out. These decorations usually consist of Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, snowmen, snowflakes. All the colors change from bright reds, yellows, oranges, transitions to reds and greens . This gives Thanksgiving a very short period, specifically three days. The rule in my family has always been Thanksgiving before Christmas, in the house the Christmas season does not begin until Black Friday shopping begins. This has always been the case for our family because of downtown Cincinnati hosts a tree lighting to officially kick off the Christmas season. This has been a tradition in our ...

Beautiful Mind Records

Welcome to the more random posts on my blog. These uploads can range from new music finds that I think the readers should listen to through items that are just absolutely random. This is just how my mind works, and processes information, so buckle up cause this could be a rollercoaster. This blog will focus on musical talents and how the music industry works. Artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, Jon Bellion, Logic, etc… all work for a music label. Some of these artists venture out to create their own labels to assist other rising artists. One example of this happening is with Jon Bellion. This is my favorite musical artist to listen to, the rhythm and style of his albums are never the same and in interviews, he has stated that he would rather make music that spoke to the audience, rather than following the classic four-chord structure that allows a song to become a hit. Artists like Jon Bellion have opened a door for rising groups like Lawrence the Band. Jon used his own label, Beautiful...
