I have loved every minute of my experience here at Ohio State and that is very much to do with the amazing friends that I have meet while here. From Day 1, I got to meet some of the best people in my life. Because of my Scholars program, we moved in a few days ahead of the rest of the freshman, giving us time to get to know each other very quickly. We have our own “family” made of other members of the program, and we hung out and did activities with them for quite a long time, and I’m still best friends with most all of them. And because we all live on the same floor, we see so much of each other, sometimes maybe too much, and we can’t help but get to know each other. My suitemates especially have been such a strong system of friendship and support in everything I’ve and have made the transition so much simplier. Only 3 people from my high school attended OSU, one being me, and the other two boys. So I was basically on my own, and to be blessed with such welcoming and happy people was so great. Fall break was the point in which I got really close with the people that were left. All of my roommates had left and only one of my suitemates was left, Ashley, who I didn’t know very well. However, at the end of that break, I had gotten close to my new roommate.
