Condados Tacos – Columbus To-Do #1

My group and I decided to go to Condado Tacos in the Short North on Sunday 10/28/2018.  The people in my group are: Brendan Eagen, Megan McCarthy, Michael Arndt, Rachel Pierce, Rachel Roman, and Rifky Ruzbihan. My peer group leader was Alex Ng.  Condado Tacos is famous for their build it yourself tacos, and the Short North is a cute trendy part of Columbus. A lot of young people are moving into the Short North, as there are a bunch of cute, little boutiques and restaurants to explore in the Short North.  I am not really a big taco fan, but I really liked Condado Tacos. Back in my hometown of St. Louis, we do not really have a restaurant like Condado Tacos so I thought the concept of the restaurant was really neat. My favorite part of the restaurant was that they allowed me to customize my taco. Also, they offered a lot of unique toppings. On my taco I got shrimp ceviche, which was like cooked shrimp with vinegar. I really enjoyed it. Overall it was a really wonderful opportunity to get to learn more about my fellow groupmates; however, next time I wish we could spend a little more time together as a group. However I definitely want to go back and can’t wait to explore more of Columbus! Below is a picture of my group and I:

 

 

 

Artifact #1

In choosing to go to The Ohio State University, I knew that I would be far away from my family, all of whom reside in St. Louis, Missouri.  I was willing to pay this small price though to learn at a distinguished research institution in a new city with new opportunities.  However, there are still some days, when I miss being with my family. There are also some days when schoolwork is just too overwhelming. On these days, I like to read the letter that my dad wrote me before sending me off to college. I have it hanging right on my bunk bed. When I read the letter, I am reminded of all the love and support I have from my family. It also reminds me of the values instilled in me that makes me who I am today. So even though I am far away from home, this letter from my dad gives me a little piece of home when I need it the most.
