Hello and Welcome!
My name is Christine Grooms and I’m currently a first year student here at The Ohio State University. I was born just about an hour away in Kettering, OH and lived in Centerville for the first 2 years of my life. Soon after, my family picked up and moved to Minnesota for a few years! I loved it there (even though I was just a young child…) and still love the cities, climate, people, and scenery. Right before I began kindergarten, my family moved back to Ohio and settled in Dublin, where we lived and I went to school up until college! Even today my parents still live in my childhood home:) Along with my parents, I have one older brother, Connor, who is also a student here at Ohio State. Lastly, we have a wonderful gray cat, Minnie, who we have been lucky enough to love for just over 10 years now.
Here at OSU, I’m pursuing my academic passion of math through a major in Accounting with a minor in Statistics. Extracurricularly, I am involved in the Business Honors Learning Community, the Undergraduate Business Women’s Association, a campus student ministry called Cru, and most recently was accepted into Student’s Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations. There are so many things to get involved in and I am beyond excited to continue pursuing the endless opportunities:)
Outside of the classroom, I find myself with many diverse interests across many unique fields. I consider myself a very creative person, specifically in my love of music and problem solving. Nature is one of my favorite places to be — I love hiking, exploring, and just enjoying the fresh air. In the interest of this post’s length, I’ll make a condensed list of some of my favorite things below:)
- Jesus
- Tea (all but fruity…)
- Math
- Great Music
- Calendars
- The Colors Navy and Rose Pink
- Smiling and Laughing
- Wood
- Ice Cold Water
- Flowers
- Scarves
- Making a Difference and Serving Others
- Language and Traveling
- Soft T-Shirts
- Learning!
The list could go on and on, but these are some of the things that make me me! I look forward to sharing my journey and discovering more about myself, the University, and the world in the next four years.
Peace and Blessings,
