My First Semester at OSU

My first semester at the Ohio State University has been much better than I was expecting. My family worried that I wouldn’t make any friends because I’m a very shy person, but the Humanities Scholars helped me to easily make friends that live on my floor and are also members. I was much more scared that I would not get along with my roommate or that she would not get along well with me. There was definitely an adjustment period when it came to living in such small spaces with a person I did not know before move in day. However, we soon grew comfortable with each other and are now friends. I was also afraid that I would not be good with my money while here and while I haven’t been great with a budget, I have learned some lessons on how not to spend money unless I really have to or want to. None of the fears that I or my family had when I started college remain, now I’m terrified of the upcoming finals. My experience in Humanities so far has been good. I have meet a lot of people and made some really good friends. The activities have generally been fun and interesting, I only wish that they were timed so that they aren’t so often interfering with when I want to eat dinner.
