I used to believe that soccer was the sport that relied the most on teamwork. You can have a superstar on your team and go far, but not to the top. Until @erling put on a performance of a lifetime against a stacked Brazil squad! OBJECTIVELY the best player in the world.

Congrats to the @nyknicks for winning it all. One of the most historical playoff runs in history, and were simply the best team, well deserved!

@DannyParkins My favorite show never fails to entertain me!

Lakers winning game 6, Austin Reaves and Lebron will combine for at least 60 points together!

@getnickwright Congrats to my favorite sports studio show for being nominated! Well deserved from the co-hosts and the hard working team behind the camera!

We’re still in the early part of February, and I’m already missing college football. Because of this, here’s a #throwback to my first college football game I attended, back in 2022. Kansas vs TCU. Here’s a quick video of the rock chalk chant before the opening kickoff. #JOU432

Dr. David McMahan, Department Chair and Professor for Communication, said when I asked him about how social media is played in society. “I approach social media as a central component of everyday communication, shaping how we sustain relationships and trade information.” #JOU432

@_sydcity @Starbucks That looks so good! I might have to get one myself.

@MadelynnKing @Chiefs I was at that parade! It’s a day that’ll never be forgotten.

[Eric Weightman @weightman_eric]

@MadelynnKing @kirbywalsh22 @54thStreetGrill Never a bad day in my book when @54thStreetGrill is involved!

@amace2026 @Chiefs Glad to see a fellow chiefs fan around campus!

[Eric Weightman @weightman_eric]

@cookiebreak I never thought about it like that. Social media can be just as harmful as it can be helpful. I think a huge factor comes down to what you are looking at in social media.

One of my favorite outdoor activities that I’ve gotten into lately is disc golf. @MissouriWestern has a course on campus that is open for anyone to play. Even when the weather is cold, this activity is one that I will surely use! #JOU432

@GriffonEsports is giving students the opportunity to play on their consoles and computers. If you’re someone who wants to game with others and have a great time, this is the spot for you! #JOU432

Sean is a freshman here at @MissouriWestern studying manufacturing engineering. Click on the video below to see what all he’s excited for about this semester with his classes. #JOU432

@MissouriWestern encourages applied learning by giving students, like myself, free access to the Adobe Photoshop on the campus computers. This is great by allowing students like me to use it for schoolwork and getting more familiar with the program. #JOU432

It’s nice to have a spot that can ease your mind. For me, it’s this spot overseeing the lake and road. Once it gets melted and the sky clears up, I am not sure if there is a better spot to sit and relax than this one here on campus at @MissouriWestern. #JOU432

[Eric Weightman @weightman_eric]

As classes start to get rolling, that means late nights up working on assignments and studying are right around the corner. Thank you QuikTrip for being there when others are closed. The 24/7 service is much appreciated! @QuikTrip #JOU432

[Eric Weightman @weightman_eric]

Another great day here at @MissouriWestern. Thank you to @aaron_onair for being a great mentor and friend these first couple of weeks in and out of the classroom. #JOU432

Hi X! My name is Eric Weightman and I’m a student here at @MissouriWestern studying journalism and communication. My classmates and I are doing a Twitter/X scavenger hunt for class. More tweets are on the way about MWSU and their community. See you around! #JOU432
