About the Book

“Writing in a journal reminds you of your goals and of your learning in life. It offers a place where you can hold a deliberate, thoughtful conversation with yourself.” Robin Sharma

Hello Everyone,

Do you love journals?

Journaling is amazing and life altering!

I created this journal, especially for you. For the days, you need to remind yourself about why you shouldn’t give up on your dreams and goals, despite the obstacles. Sometimes, we may feel like giving up. We need the motivation to keep moving forward because life does change. So, why don't you motivate yourself by keeping a journal! You can write down new ideas, doodles, quotes, sayings, notes to self, make collages, or journal your daily life experiences. You can decorate your journal with your favorite things, like rhinestones, drawings, or inspiring pictures from magazines. Journaling is an excellent and therapeutic way of recording your emotional highs and lows. You will feel better about yourself and your journey of never giving up. The creative journals includes the poem, Never Give Up!, at the beginning of the journal.

Warmly,

Felicia V. Bland

Circa 2011, at @rider_university relay for life with my Toshiba laptop and denon s5000 cdjs. College was the place that I started djing and getting to play music for a great cause is a cherished experience. Pictures are our only way to time travel. Also, I miss that hat. #rideruniversity #relayforlife #denondj #djing #sennheiser #cancerwalk #rideruniversitysrc (at Rider University SRC Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XSCViDAbU/?igshid=dptndl8pekd2

321 story time go! The only way to stop time is take a picture. That picture then becomes an anchor to the moment in time that it captures. This particular picture, moment, memory, was captured at @rider_university in fall 2008. America's best dance crew on @mtv premiered in 2008 and lasted 6 seasons. It shined a light on dance battle culture like no mainstream show before or since and gave the world the super crew known as the @jabbawockeez. My friend marcus @agentmose had a contact with one of groups from season 2, phresh select, and wanted to get them to make an appearance at school. His main motivation can be summed up as follows 'let's throw a party and get you to dj it' his exact words. We took the idea to the woman in charge of event coordination @addiekayesmommyj who is the one primarily responsible for making this moment happen. What started as an idea in Marcus's soon became physical in the form of posters around campus. You know never know if an event will be successful until the doors open, so up until that point we were all nervous. Doors opened, people poured and Phresh Select put on a show. Everyone in attendance saw what mastery of ones craft looks like up close. This was the only picture taken that night and I'm amazed at all the emotions held within it. #abdc #abdcmtv #phreshselect #rideruniversitysrc #rideruniversity #dance #dancebattle #americasbestdancecrew #season2 #music #musicculture #dj #djing #djsostcyr #callmeKoffi #callmeKoffi #agentmose #kwabakayes (at Rider University SRC Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg4NQSDrpP/?igshid=1bmxxxrs3nqsx

So, I have to take a moment to tap into the actor side of me and share with y'all one of my favorite plays of all time: She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen. SO MUCH stage combat (I saw a wonderful production at Rider University that was choreographed by Ian Rose), and the protagonist, Agnes, has a fantastic audition monologue that I like to use. If you love D&D and Theatre (to me they're not exactly mutually exclusive), pick this up and/or go FIND A SHOWING! #thespellcast #dnd #podcast #5e #fifthedition #actualplay #comedy #campaign #cosplay #d20 #dungeonsanddragons #faerun #fantasy #forgottenrealms #games #gaming #homebrew #itunes #internetradio #podbean #rpg #roleplayinggame #stitcher #tabletop #tabletopgaming #shekillsmonsters #theatre #stagecombat #rideruniversity #theater #plays

Honors Contract Submission 10: Final Overview of 2019 RFL

All previous submissions, combined, fully outline the first stage of the event planning process, pre-production. The pre-production stage mainly involves all of the committees and their separate roles to prepare for the Relay For Life event. The last two stages, production and post-production, are what will be discussed in this final submission. This year’s Relay For Life took place on Saturday, March 30th, 2019 from 6 PM – 6 AM the following day, in the Student Recreation Center on-campus.

The entire event is broken down into appropriate time segments and outlined on a schedule that is printed on huge poster boards and posted around the SRC. This years schedule is provided below.

The schedule is super important because it outlines exactly how the night is going to go, or is planned to go. For the most part, we stuck to this exact schedule. As event producers as well as planners, we understand that some things are going to change throughout the night and we need to be flexible and creative when dealing with those changes. For example, we ended up moving the dodgeball semifinals from 1:30 AM to 10 PM, just because the teams playing wanted to move right into the semifinals after they played the first few rounds. We also had to shift around some of the sponsorship laps to accommodate certain events that ran a little over their scheduled time slot. As discussed in class and for our semester-long projects, the best way to explain the production stage of an event is through pictures. Below is a video of some pictures from the 2019 RFL!

The final stage of event planning is the post-production stage, also called the evaluation stage. It is important to look at the return on investment (ROI) to evaluate the success of an event. For Relay, we could measure the ROI in a number of ways. One of the most common is to look at how much money we raised. We are still waiting on a final amount, since fundraising is still open until the end of June, but as of right now we have raised over $43,000 for the American Cancer Society. Our goal was to reach $50,000, so we are almost there! Based on this ROI, I would say the event was very successful. Every donation counts and the fact that we raised so much money for cancer research is amazing. 

Another way to evaluate ROI is by attendance. There were over 600 participants at Relay. This is a fantastic turn out and a very positive evaluation of the overall event.

A lot of things went right during this year’s Relay. We stuck to the schedule (with a few minor changes), committee communication was great, no liabilities happened, and we received positive feedback about the overall event from those who attended. Of course, as with any event, there were some challenges. Our PR/Marking leader was dismissed from the event and we had to quickly find someone to replace her. Luckily, one of her committee members was staying the whole night and was able to capture almost all of the activities and performances on our Relay Instagram (@riderurelay has a highlights section dedicated to the 2019 event!). Certain activities ran slightly over schedule, but this happens almost every year so we are prepared to be flexible. 

Overall, I would 100% say this event was a huge success! In the future, I definitely want to increase awareness/marketing for the individual activities/fundraisers going on during Relay so that those attending are more prepared and excited when they come to the event. As always, I am so fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful organization and I cannot wait to start the planning process for next year.
