Who I Am and Why I'm Here

Hey, my name is Amanda and I'm a senior at Grand Valley, studying Marketing. This is my last semester in the business school, so I will be graduating this May! Some of the feeds I'll be following are a mix of sports blogs and some marketing/social media blogs. The sports blogs I'll be following are Detroit Tigers, ESPN.com, Jalen Rose, MLB, and Yahoo! Sports. As you may have noticed, a couple of the blogs I'll follow are focused on baseball, more specifically the Detroit Tigers. I am a girl who loves her fair share of sports, but baseball is admittedly my favorite, and I must say that I am mildly obsessed with the Detroit Tigers. I'll follow ESPN.com because ESPN is one of my favorite TV channels. I prefer to wake up in the morning and watch Sportscenter as I eat my cereal and drink my coffee. I'll be following Yahoo! Sports basically because I love sports in general and I like being informed of the current news in sports. Also, I'll follow Jalen Rose so that I can get someone's personal opinion on the latest happenings in the wonderful world of sports.

In terms of marketing blogs, I'll be following Mashable and The Social Media Marketing Blog. I find both blogs to be really interesting because obviously I am interested in various aspects of marketing, but additionally because I grew up when I did, social media is a huge part of my everyday life. Therefore, blogs that relate the two to each other and give me the latest news in that field is fascinating to me. So that is what I'll be blogging about for the duration of this blog... Hope you enjoy!
