KIND Campaign

Ohio Northern University (ONU) is participating in the KIND campaign.  A public relations (PR) group at ONU is in charge of promoting the brand, as well as creating activities to bring more awareness to the various products.  If you don’t know, KIND is a brand of snacks that are wholesome and delicious.  They are made from gluten free ingredients and are a healthy option when choosing a snack.  It is important to keep in mind that ONU is a college campus with busy college students.  We don’t always choose the healthiest snack because of our hectic schedules and time commitments.  With KIND, it is easy to grab the snack when you are leaving for class and put it in your bag for later consumption.

The PR group at ONU has been holding a variety of events and presentations in order to bring awareness to KIND.  They have talked to numerous teams including football and cross country.  At these presentations, the PR group talks about the healthy options available and shares fun facts about being healthy.  In addition, a selfie contest has begun throughout campus.  You need to take a selfie with a KIND product and post it to twitter using the hashtag of #KINDbears.  In addition, you need to tag @KINDsnacks in your post in order to be eligible to win.  The random winner of this contest will win a gift certificate to the ONU bookstore. 

Overall, the mission of the KIND brand is to bring awareness to the characteristic of kindness into the minds of people.  The brand wants people to remember to bring kindness to others and look for ways to spread it throughout the day.  So if you attend ONU, look out for more KIND presentations and information about KIND.  In addition, if you are looking to try something healthy and different for an easy snack then try a KIND bar.

Fall Weekends

Fall is officially in full swing.  The leaves are changing colors and the temperature is getting cooler.  This weekend definitely fell within this category.  It was chilly and cloudy, which is the perfect weather to curl up in your bed and watch some Netflix.  I accomplished this activity while taking breaks between doing my homework and studying.  Also, it was Harry Potter weekend on television.  This is one of my favorite marathons because I never get tired of watching Harry Potter even though I have seen every movie numerous times. 

Also, this weekend I was able to finally attend an Ohio Northern University (ONU) football game.  One of my friends and I normally try to attend the home games.  Because of our busy schedules this semester, we have not been able to root on the polar bears lately.   It was a chilly game, but not terribly cold since the sun made an appearance for parts of the game.  ONU played Capital and ended up winning the game that was dedicated to bringing awareness to breast cancer.  Players and fans added pink to their clothes and jerseys in order to support and bring awareness to breast cancer.  I love watching football with people who also understand the game.  It is a fun and relaxing atmosphere for everyone involved.

Overall, fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  The weather is cool and the leaves are gorgeous.  Also, it is not fall without some football games and late movie nights.  I have to take advantage of being outside because the weather will become bitter real soon.  I am not ready for the snow and cold to come, but it is all part of living in Ohio.
