COLUMBUS TO DO LIST: AMC Movies

On Sunday, November 18, a group of friends and I, including HES members Megan McCarthy, Jill Erml, and Rachel Roman, went to the AMC movie theater in the Lennox Town Center to see Bohemian Rhapsody. Overall, it was a great experience, we saw a great movie and had a great time. The part I enjoyed most was the movie. It was a biographical film about the life of rock legend, Freddy Mercury. I learned a lot of things I did not know about his band Queen, along with little-known facts about his personal and those around him. This movie also helped me discover some lesser-known Queen songs that I immediately added to my Spotify playlist. It also helped me explore my surroundings a little bit more. I had been to this theater before, however, this time I decided to take a different route that turned out to be a lot faster than the one I had taken previously. In conclusion, I had an awesome time with some awesome people seeing an awesome movie.

Ticket Wall

Another artifact that is very near and dear to my heart is the ticket wall in my room. This wall consists of all the tickets from all the football games that I have been to as an OSU student. These tickets are worth more to me than just the price of admission. Along with each ticket, there is a specific set of memories. Some of which I’ll never forget. An example of this is the ticket for the game against Oregon State, my first official Ohio State football game ever. I’ll never forget the first time doing Stadium Ohio, or the first of many OSU touchdowns that I witnessed with my own eyes, a two-yard pass from Dwayne Haskins to Terry McLaurin in the back of the south end zone. However, it’s not just what happens on the field that I remember the most, its what happens in the stands too. So many good times were spent with friends, talking, cheering, yelling, and of course singing this year. And I know there are many more to come, with one of the biggest being in a week and a half against that team up north. I absolutely cannot wait!

COLUMBUS TO DO LIST: Condado Tacos

This past Sunday, October 28th, 2018, my peer mentor group and I went to Condado Tacos in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus. It was amazing! Not only was it one of my first times using a COTA bus, it was also one of the first times I’ve been to the short north. The food at Condado was delicious. They are known for their build-your-own tacos experience, so of course I chose to do that and, to be honest, I couldn’t have made a better choice. I had to fill out a scantron sheet similar to the many I filled out in high school, except this time there were no wrong answers! I would definitely recommend! This experience really helped me get out of my comfort zone and get off campus. I learned that living in a big city isn’t as scary as it actually is. Columbus is absolutely beautiful. I also learned of some great new places to go to eat that aren’t just chain restaurants. For example,  there’s Melt, a grilled cheese restaurant! I don’t know who ever thought of making a restaurant for grilled cheese, but whoever they are, they’re genius! Overall, the trip was an astounding success!

About Me

I am a first-year engineering student on the Mechanical Engineering track. I am from Cincinnati, Ohio and I am very proud of it. I am currently a member of the HES sand volleyball team and captain of the HES flag football team. I absolutely love sports and all they have to offer. My favorite thing about OSU is the large-yet-small campus and getting to know new people and colleagues every day. I look forward to learning throughout the next four years as I work towards a degree that will prepare me for the real world. Finally, my favorite thing about Humanitarian Engineering Scholars is working together with other scholars to achieve great things.
