My first year at OSU was full of lessons and many ups and downs. Throughout this year, I learned how to manage my time better, balance work and fun, and learned how to make connections with people and take advantage of opportunities. As an out of state student I was nervous about entering a school far from home, where I knew no one. However, I surprised myself with how quickly I adapted to the the new environment, made friends, and found my place at the university. I joined clubs on campus and participated in undergraduate research. I learned so much in only my first two semesters and I am beyond excited to see what the next years of my time at OSU will bring.
