My first year here at Ohio State was filled with ups and downs. At the beginning, I was quite overwhelmed with all of the changes in my life. There were so many new and exciting opportunities to take advantage of, and it was difficult to adjust to everything. Being a part of the dance team really helped me find my way. It really helped me stay busy and active, and I was able to meet some amazing people on campus. I am looking forward to what dance team has to bring for my future. Academically, I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life in the beginning of the year. I looked into lots of different majors, and HSS aided my exploration of careers. Second semester, I finally ended up switching my major from Health Sciences to Exercise Science. I discovered my passion for the workings of the body and hope to go on to PT school and focus on sports medicine/rehabilitation. Socially, I became really close to the girls on my team and my roommate. Also, I participated in Buckeyethon and joined Kappa Kappa Gamma. Both of these really helped me meet new people and get involved on campus. Going into next year, I hope to take full advantage of what OSU has to offer. I want to excel in all of my classes and develop as a leader in the organizations I take part in.
