I have a love-hate relationship with the month of August. As a student, it takes January’s place as the month for new beginnings. It is a time to reflect, reset, and prepare. It is also the time when summer comes to an end, and the real work – school – begins again. Yet each summer is a time for growth, just as each school year is a time to evolve as a student and a member of the community. We do not notice our own growth in day-to-day life until we take the time to pause and reflect. When I think about where I was in the August before my Senior year of high school, I am astounded and proud by the person I have become. Cheers to new growth, each and every year.

Artifacts will be a place for pictures and memories that shouldn’t be forgotten. The journey through Ohio State is incredible. Hopefully, some of the magic that makes this university amazing will be captured here.
