Although the weather makes me wants to stay inside all day with some hot chocolate and a dozen of blankets, my HES pals, Preston and Axumawite, and I decided to do a little adventuring around Columbus the Saturday of the 24th. Although our break was arguably still short, I made sure to fill it 
with lots of memories like this. And there’s nothing like some ice cream on an ice-y day like this. We went to the Jeni’s off high street to celebrate the game (of course). The free stickers, cute environment, and free samples made it all the worthwhile. It was a great experience to not only try some funky flavors, but sit down, relax, and talk about whatever was on our minds. It made me realize I haven’t taken that time for myself in awhile and we all plan to do it more often. I wouldn’t mind a trip back for the lavender ice cream anyway. All jokes aside, I’m genuinely grateful to have these people in my life. Humanitarian Engineering Scholars helped me interact with some amazing people who I would’ve missed out on otherwise. This program gave me two friends who I know will always support and care for me in these next years of college and in the future. Humanitarian Engineering has brought not only several friends who I can lean on, but also so many experiences-like and unlike this one- to keep me involved in the community. From volunteering to events such as the Mental Awareness Week Recess, I have felt at home here on campus besides having another home 20 minutes away.
