Coming to this amazing school, I was experiencing several emotions. I was ecstatic, anxious, and excited. I am both excited and anxious for this school year. My classes both excite me and make me a bit nervous because although they are classes that I am interested in and want to take, some of them are unique and nothing like the classes I took in high school. Something else I am excited for is being involved. Ohio State offers so many interesting and intriguing clubs and activities, and I am excited to explore some of those. Something I am particularly nervous for is the bus system; I am very worried that I will take the wrong bus when I am running late. However, despite this fear, I have done well with the busses so far. I have taken some to classes, and already, I am beginning to figure them out.
Overall, my first week was very enjoyable. I met several people, some in my major and some that are not, and I am eager to meet more! My classes have gone well; the workload is a bit overwhelming, but as the weeks continue, I know I will be able to develop a successful study routine. Also, the food has been (surprisingly) delicious. I say ‘surprisingly’ because I had an idea in my mind about what “college dining” was going to taste like, but I have not been disappointed yet! I am looking forward to more food, fun, and studying in my future.
Lastly, I am so delighted to be in the Humanities Scholars program! In this program, I hope to make new friends and broaden my interests. Thus far, I have loved the activities that the program has held, and the ones for the future sound entertaining as well as intellectual. Through this program, I expect to become more academically inclined and to actually become more involved. I can say that these two expectations are also some of what I expect at OSU as well. I am thrilled to be a Buckeye in the Humanities Scholars program!
