Overall, I’m really enjoying Ohio State and I think that first semester went so much better than I expected it would. I was afraid of not making friends easily but I was able to find people I clicked with really quickly. I also got the hang of my schedule after a few days and got really close to my roommate so all of my expectations were exceeded.
I’ve also really enjoyed Arts Scholars so far. The majority of my friends are from the program and I don’t think I would’ve met them otherwise. I also love being able to see so many shows and having the opportunity to go on trips, it’s something I wouldn’t have the chance to do at all without Arts Scholars and I’ve already made great memories through them. It’s great to have a community on campus because even it’s so big Baker and Arts Scholars is something that I know and can come back to whenever I need to.
I know that I want to stay involved in Arts Scholars as much as I can, possibly by looking into being a big but also just by coming to the Family Meetings and taking part in as many activities as possible. I think being a big would be really fun, I would just need to think about time commitments and things like that. I’ve had a lot of fun in Art Scholars and at OSU this semester and can’t wait for the rest.
