Buzzword: Millennials – The Most Talked About Generation

Bringing back the buzzword concept (words that people are tired of hearing/ overused). The term “Millennials” is used to define the generation that was born close to or during the New Millennial – wow, a very non-complicated explanation. Because this is a fairly recent generation, nobody has clearly defined the lines for the start and finish. Some people say 1980’s – 2000, some say 1980- 2005, and some say 1980 – 1995. As a twenty-year-old (born 1996) sometimes I am classified as a Millennial, and sometimes I am not. Throughout this entire post, I am going to count how many times I use the word Millennial and tell you the total at the end. I too will have probably overused it. This Generation is also referred to as Generation Y. So let’s try and use that more than the “M” word.

8 Tips On How To Capture Your Video Audience

Videos are the new pictures if a picture is worth 1000 words than a 3-minute video is worth 1,000,000. In one class last semester, we read a textbook called “Watching YouTube” by Dr.Strangelove. In the textbook, he talked about how amateur videos are taking over the internet and hence the success of YouTube and other video producing, promoting, and watching platforms.

Buzzword: The Future Of Work and Ways It’s Changing

If I were to re-write a dictionary, I would include a section called “Buzzwords,” words that are overused in the professional working world and just in life in general. Some of those words would be networking, innovation, synergy, dynamics, millennials and all those other words that we kind of role our eyes at now. But for the purpose of this blog post I am going to be talking about my most recent buzzword “Future of Work” I guess it’s more of a phrase, but regardless it’s buzzing.

Business Meets April Fools & 5 April Fools Pranks

This weekend is April Fools, and we thought it would be a good idea to share some of the easiest to pull off a trick to play on your friends or family. What I like about April Fools is how everyone is on the edge of their seat being super cautious about getting pranked that sometimes that is the prank in itself. As a kid, I used to talk about pranking my parents but never actually followed through. Then when I was 17, my family welcomed athletes into our home to live with us for the year. These male athletes became like my brothers, and then those April Fools pranks started happening. I was both on the giving and receiving end of some super lame and high key pranks.

So far according to the Official IWD website, the stats show that 14,685 people have signed up – let’s get those numbers way up!

Motivation & Organization: Creative Journaling

February is my least favorite month of the year. Back in Canada, it’s the coldest month. February is also the month that I loose all motivation for school, exercise, eating healthy, and working hard. I don’t have any explanations for this. All I know is that in February I am sluggish. This is a bad time for this to happen because it is midterm season. The time when I need to be the most productive; but, I’m not. February is also the month when I become an unorganized mess – for me; this is a catastrophe. So for anybody lacking motivation one month into the new year. For those who have lost sight of their New Year’s resolutions, and just need a little push to keep powering through. Here are some organization tips and motivation techniques that should help put a pep-in-your-step! Continue reading “Motivation & Organization: Creative Journaling”
