Artifacts
The first month or so of college has been very interesting, especially this year. Having hybrid classes for my first year experience is definitely…well…an experience that I’ll never forget. I’m taking many great classes that are required to graduate, but honestly only a few really stick out to me as enjoyable. Psychology is one of the classes that I find to have the most entertaining content this semester. Something that I find interesting that we covered in this class is the stages of sleep and how not getting enough sleep can really affect your health and academic abilities. I think its extremely interesting and important to know that pulling a single all-nighter can mess up your sleep for about a whole week! Honestly, through this college experience, I’m learning more about myself than I am learning about the class content. I’ve learned that I am strong and truly capable of being on my own. I don’t need to ask for help with everything. I can make decisions on my own! I’ve also learned that those decisions that I get to make come down to more than the big life changing ones — they include things as little as deciding when and what I should eat. I have really struggled with making healthy decisions for myself like eating when I’m supposed to and not settling for junk food that I made sure to stock up on. I’ve realized that healthy food choices are important for academic performance as well as just a healthy lifestyle all around. Through everything that I’ve learned during the short time being here at OSU I’ve been able to grow as a person and achieve a new confidence in who I am. Through this new confidence I have achieved good grades that will help me achieve bigger and better goals and new friends that will always stand by my side.
About Me
Hi! My name is Chloe Hill and I am from Rayland which is a small town in Ohio across the river from Wheeling, WV. I am a first year Zoology and Pre-Veterinary Medicine major and I plan to continue my education after undergraduate school to receive my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. I have a lot of passions that have played a prominent role in who I have become. I have danced for 15 years, I have run for the last 6 years as a member of my school’s Cross Country and Track teams, and I have sang from the day that I could open my mouth.
In just about everything I do, I learn best through writing and repetition. I can be described as both a solitary person and a solitary learner — peace and quiet are my best friends. I find most of my peace and quiet by sitting in the stillness of the outdoors, no matter the day or time. Something about the tranquility and beauty of God’s creation allows me to forget the chaos of the world around me. Taking care of what God has created for us is extremely important to me because we aren’t only protecting the environment for our sake, but also for the sake of future generations. It’s not fair for us to be the reason that the future may not get to enjoy the same nature that we enjoy today. Preserving what was made so divinely for us to enjoy for the span of Earth’s lifetime should be of utmost importance.
