With my first semester coming to an end, it’s time to reflect. The first two months of college were very difficult. I was struggling to stay on top of my classes and find my place at the university. Trying to learn the concepts of calculus 2, Russian, and the Java programming language was very difficult at the beginning. However, just about a month ago, I started to really find myself and understand what it means to be a Buckeye. I’ve matured a lot since I’ve been living on my own with three random roommates who I can now call my friends. I’ve learned how to sort important tasks from unimportant tasks. I’ve learned how to learn and study more efficiently. The most important thing I’ve learned this semester is how to be happy and vulnerable. I accept and enjoy the person I am. My goals for the future are to work hard and try to make each day the best I can.
