Hello and Welcome! What Are You Looking At?

    Hello there reader! My name is Michael Gallagher and this is my first official blog. This section in particular will be in relation to my life at Ohio Northern University, ONU for short. This series of blogs will be walking you through my life at ONU this fall semester. 

    I've been here at ONU for two full years now. I originally started as an electrical engineer but now I am in my current major of writing and multimedia studies and have been for the past 3 semesters. I've done various courses from rhetoric to business writing, editing to marketing, and now I have arrived at course known as Principles of Social Media.

    I didn't know much about this course prior to writing this blog post. It merely filled a box on my credit requirements. But regardless I am excited to find out everything I can learn here in this course.

    For now I'll keep this short and sweet. Check back soon for more details on my ever-growing experiences here at ONU. If you wish to get notifications about when I post you can subscribe on my home page. Until next time!

    Hello Michael! It is nice to meet you, I am also a student at Ohio Northern University. Through out high school I planned on studying multimedia studies to be a news broadcaster. After graduating, I realized that might not be as easy of a job as it sounds so I switched to accounting. It is no easy feat deciding what you want to do after college, however I admire that you were willing to change your major a semester in to do what you love. Best of luck to you this year!

    Hello! Nice to meet you I am very excited for this class also! I admire all your hard work, it must of been a difficult change deciding to switch your major. I hop you are enjoying this one a lot more! During my college experience I changed what I wanted to do after my internship and that stressed me out I cant imagine changing majors. I wish you the best of luck!

    Hello Micheal, it is nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to sharing what we both learned from this class. I also changed my major from computer engineering from business so I hope that your decision to switch was just as worth it as it was for me.

ONU Blog: I Made Fudge!

 So if you know me well you'd know that I like to cook and bake. And if you don't know me...well now you know I like to cook. I can't always cook with my schedule and lack of money, but when I can I love to make complex and rewarding dishes. Salmon cakes, roasted Brussel sprouts, garlic crusted mac & cheese and more. But above all else I have a sweet tooth and love to make desserts. One of my favorite desserts to make is fudge. Fudge is a very simple recipe but highly modifiable and enjoyable. Many recipes mark themselves as "3 ingredient fudge" where the only ingredients are chocolate, condensed milk, and vanilla. While this basic combination is delicious on its own there is much more depth to be added. And that is half the fun of cooking and baking, experimenting! Try adding ingredients you would use in other recipes like brown sugar or almond extract. Or try something wild like lemon juice or potato chips. I've tried multiple combos both "original...

ONU Blog: Live Coverage of Homecoming Football

 Over the weekend I had the pleasure of being in the best seat in the house for ONU's homecoming football game. I work for the team filming clips and plays for review at a later date. Because of that I get to stand in the scoreboard endzone and see plays head-on. I can also zoom in and see plays up close with my special camera.  My viewpoint from the endzone So with this in mind I decided to live tweet the event from my viewpoint! I could get in close and see everything in more detail than anybody. This was an interesting challenge as I had to quickly swap between using the camera and tweeting while making sure I didn't miss a play. In the end I was able to tweet a lot more than I thought I could and get coverage for every single quarter to Twitter. I hope I can find more opportunities to do something like this in the future. If you want to see my string of live tweets, check out my school Twitter account below. https://twitter.com/BlogBuddy99

ONU Blog: It's The Little Things

I have always been one to appreciate little things. Tiny gifts? Love 'em. Small dogs? They have my heart. Bite-sized snacks? Easy pick. Short people? They're more on my level becasue I'm short for a guy! But what I more mean by "little things" is small details about everyday life. Things that people don't always pay attention to much. Those things mean the world to me.  When you're the kind of person who always try's to acknowledge the smallest details, when someone does the same it means so much. That is the boat I'm in. Many people I've met simply try to see the big picture of it all and leave the small things to be smoothed over. But when I approach something I try to take it piece by piece. Each piece may be small, but with time those small pieces make something big! It takes more time than blanket approach attitudes, but I've always been a "quality over quantity" person. For example, gifts. Big and impressive gifts are nice a...
