My First Semester at OSU

Overall, this semester has been great. New friends, new classes, new experiences; all good. If I had to talk about “fears” I had before college, the two that stick out to me the most are classes being too hard and not having enough food options (I’m vegetarian). These fears are long gone. I found that classes are not as “impossibly difficult” as my some of my former high school teachers used to lament, my grades are fine and honestly I’m less stressed about grades now than I was in high school (perhaps now I value the fact that I’m actually learning more than my letter grade). And as for vegetarian food options, I’ve found that I can get food at practically any place on campus. So far, my experience in the Arts Scholars has been quite positive. The community is great and I’ve got to do things I wouldn’t be able to do as easily had I not joined the program. Moving forward, I’d like to be a bit more involved in the Arts Scholars, maybe by submitting art for the next gallery we do.
