Columbus To Do List: Part One

I live in Columbus so I’ve done most of the stuff on the lists. One of the lists that I noticed I haven’t done a lot of is the Ice Cream and Desserts list. There are the general Ohio places such as Graeter’s and Whit’s, and then there are other places that I’ve never heard of such as Rocket Fizz. Which happens to be one of the places that I am most excited for. When ever I watch Ohio State football games I like to have a different type of bottled root beer. This has been one of the few traditions I have during OSU games and I hope that Rocket Fizz has some new types that I can use. I hope to learn more about Columbus and the food available while living on campus. So far I have gone to Graeter’s and Whit’s. I went to Graeter’s after a Blue Jackets game with my dad, the best part was me and him joking about how one of my homework assignments is to get ice cream. I went to Whit’s with my family over fall break, there is a Whit’s near my house and It has been a while since I’ve gone. The best part was remembering going there after my baseball games, and they have this topping called Crunch Coat that my family loves because of an ice cream shop where my mom grew up. I am currently enjoying this list, it gives me an opportunity to get time away from the stress of my classes.

Columbus To Do List: Graeter’s

 

I went to a Columbus Blue Jacket game on Saturday and decided to go to Graeter’s. The best thing is obviously the ice cream. I’ve had Graeter’s before and I guarantee I will have it again. Graeter’s has most of my favorite ice creams and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I would recommend going here if you have the chance.

Journal Two

On Thursday, September 26, 2019, I met with my scholars mentor Cassidy at West 18th avenue library. Me, being the blind person that I am, didn’t see her sitting at a table for about five minutes. This wasn’t the first time that I ever met Cassidy, but it was the first non-scholars event-related time. We began by discussing how a majority of our scholars family is in Aerospace engineering, one of them being me. Having not interacted with my mentor before I asked about her major civil engineering. I shadowed a civil engineer for a day last year, but we mainly talked about sports. This conversation sadly didn’t drift in that direction, I had it on the back burner in case I needed it, but we didn’t need it and didn’t have enough time. We mainly talked about civil engineering and the Fundamentals of Engineering class that I am currently taking, which she took last year before she had to go to a class. We talked for around 30 minutes. She offered to help me on my lab memo for FE if I got a bad grade on mine so I could see how to write one better, and as a result to hopefully get a better grade on the rewrite that we have the option to do. It was a nice experience and I now believe reaching out to my mentor might be more helpful than I previously thought.

Journal One

My experience at The Ohio State University has so far been a good one. During my time here so far I have got to do many things, one of them was Welcome Week. Welcome Week was fun, I got to go meet new people, join some clubs, and get free stuff. There was a lot of stuff to go do which helped normalize me to my surroundings and learn the campus. So far my classes haven’t been too difficult, I’ve done a good job managing my homework and stopping myself from procrastinating to the point where everything begins to stack up. I’m interested in my classes which has also been helped make this process smoother and not having to wake up for 8 am’s has been a plus. Even though I still haven’t completely grasped some concepts on campus,  overall I feel like I’m adjusting well to life at OSU. Before moving in I didn’t realize how much free time that I’d actually have,  not saying that it is a negative, just didn’t expect to have the ability to do what I want as often, it is likely that will change when classes start to pick up in difficulty. The Scholars program allows me to do stuff during that free time and gives me activities to do so I’m not just bored, It also gives me the ability to hang out with people I have met through it. All of this has combined in making my first weeks here quite fun and enjoyable.

About Me

Hello, my name is Ryan Saleme and I intend to major in Aerospace Engineering. I don’t have any set goals beyond getting a bachelor’s degree at the moment, but I hope to learn more about what my options are throughout my college life. I enjoy the pursuit of science and have been interested in space travel my entire life. One of my favorite things to do is to watch and play sports and while I mainly watch hockey and football,  I’m interested in almost every sport to some degree. I also enjoy being outdoors and exploring new places, but I never have a problem staying in and just playing video games. This portfolio will allow me a place to share my thoughts, such as talking about the Columbus Blue Jackets of Buckeye Football while also giving me a place to explore my interests and new found hobbies.
