I am almost done with my first semester at Ohio State, and I have come to love the school. Before going here, I was unsure of which school was the right fit for me, and I have come to realize I made the best possible decision. The opportunities to get involved on campus are endless, though I hope to not overwhelm myself with harder classes, research, rushing, clubs, etc. next semester. The classes I am currently taking are challenging, though I have learned that the amount of work I put into the class will be reflected in my overall grades. I am trying to balance school life with social life, which I think I have figured out. I was lucky this year with finding a roommate whose interests match mine, and we continue to explore the campus each day. I miss my family, though I am happy to be growing independently for the first time in my life. Overall, my first semester at Ohio State has been incredible.
My first semester of college has had lots of ups and downs, both which have taught me valuable lessons about myself and my future. My rigorous schedule taught me time management skills which will serve me well for the semesters still ahead of me at Ohio State. Being involved in clubs has been a great way to meet new friends and explore interests that I have always had a passion for.
