Who's ready to watch the Opening Ceremony tonight?! I
love the Olympics, and am so excited to watch non-stop for the next almost 3 weeks. I love the unity the Games brings to our wonderful nation as well as seeing countries join together to celebrate sports and each other. The media has been full of sad and difficult tragedies that we've all had to deal with in some way or another this summer, so it will be good for everyone to relax, have fun, and most importantly, celebrate the world's very best athletes.
This post is so very important to read, with all the publicity (mostly negative) given to the Olympics this year. I cannot wait to watch the events, cheer on Team USA, and admire the talent and work these athletes have put in to get themselves to Rio. Each and every athlete is so admirable, every back story is incredible, and every country should be proud. Watching the Olympics only encourages and shows me that hard work and dedication definitely do pay off. Here's to safety, fun, and (hopefully) a few gold medals :)

Olympics + Marketing: I guess I never really thought about how much of an impact marketing has on society until I switched majors. An ad as short as a 30 second spot can really make a difference if someone never watches TV except for when the Olympics are on. It's crazy and awesome to see how much has changed in just two short years in terms of social media and the Olympics!

P.S. This didn't start out to be an all-Olympics themed-post. It just kinda turned out that way.
The Olympics only come around every two years :)
