This year has been very influential for my growth as a student and a person. I learned very quickly how important it is to balance school work with having fun and also essential things like eating, working out, and sleeping. It took some time to get a routine down but once I did I found it a lot easier to be responsible for myself and thrive as a student and friend. I got really involved in my classes and made time to meet my professors which later helped me with recommendation letters and opportunities I wouldn’t have otherwise. I got involved in multiple clubs including Breathe Hope in which I will be the Vice President next semester. I joined a sorority and found so many friendly faces in the greek community. I volunteered at the Wexner Center which was absolutely amazing. I met my  best friends and fell in love with OSU. HSS was a blessing for me because it gave me the premed guidance I desperately wanted while also giving the best friends I have ever had. Overall, OSU and HSS met and exceeded all of my initial expectations. I can’t wait to come back next year and have another successful and transformative experience.
