My 1st Year in Review

I had an amazing first year here at The Ohio State University.

In terms of relationships, I have met some of my absolute best friends here on campus. My roommates and I get along so well and do almost everything together. I have developed relationships with them that I would not change for the world. I have also developed amazing friendships with nearly everyone on the third floor of Barrett House. Its amazing how close you can get with some people in such a short amount of time.

In terms of extracurriculars, I am blessed to be able to say that I was able to join two different clubs along with being a member of Biological Science Scholars and a volunteer at the James! I am a member of Humanism in Medicine club and WISE (Women in Surgery Empowerment) club. I really enjoy being able to part take in these different extracurricular activities because I have met so many amazing new people. Biological Science Scholars has introduced me to my roommates and all of my best friends, and being in the two different clubs has provided me with many great opportunities to listen to some extraordinary guest speakers. Everything that I am a part here at OSU has provided me with amazing opportunities outside of the classroom in terms of experience and service hours, and I am very thankful for these opportunities. I love spending time with the people in my extracurricular activities.

In terms of academics, I have learned so much in my first year here at OSU. I took 16 credit hours my first semester, and I am planning to take 18 my second semester. Although Gen. Chem. is a tough class, it taught me so much about time management and work ethic. As long as you put the time in, you will be able to succeed in any class. I am still majoring in Health Sciences on a Pre-med track, and I plan to continue on this route for all of my undergraduate career. I love the medical field and everything it has to offer! I am so excited to continue my eduction here at The Ohio State University, and I cannot wait for my second year!
