Before the start of the school year, my mom and I attended the Student Legal Services at The Ohio State University. As I am at this school as an out of state student with my parents living in Texas. I have never lived away from my family before and additionally, I am now a new adult. At my appointment with the Student Legal Services, I set up what would happen in the event of certain scenarios where I could not make the decision myself. For instance, if I were unable to make the decision for myself I provided a contact who would be able to make financial and healthcare decisions for me. As I am no longer a minor, these forms had to be filled out because I no longer am a dependent to a parent or guardian. I also added other trusted contacts to my form in the event that a family member is unable to make it here in the event of an emergency, as my family lives over a thousand miles away from where I am right now. It was an intimidating experience when I visited this non academic campus resource. That was partly because of all of the different types of forms for different scenarios that I had to fill out. Reading about these scenarios was nerve-racking because it was one of the first moments where it really hit me, that I was starting a new chapter of my life away from the people I’d spent it with for the past 18 years. It finally hit me that I am officially on my own. This is what it is like to be an adult. In all honestly, my mom had scheduled this appointment a long time ago. I am not sure if there was a wait or how long it was. I was unaware that I would be visiting that resource until the appointment itself, so I really did not have any expectations of what the appointment would be like in advance to the attending of that resource. It did not really hit me what was going on until I began reading and filling out all of the forms while speaking to the attorney helping us complete the assignment. The place of the appointment was calm and cool and collected, unlike the haste, excited feel of the rest of the campus. It was a good change of pace in the environment. There could always be potential areas of growth for any service. Perhaps for this service, there could be more employees in perhaps a larger building. This way more appointments could be scheduled. Perhaps expanding the Ohio State law school and legal department would allow for this growth to happen. I do not not feel that OSU is missing any support services. This school has more support systems than I could ever imagine. Perhaps additional support systems Ohio State could offer would be something involving allowing students to pet/play with/ or temporarily babysit a form of animal for emotional support. However, I do know there are many clubs that do that sort of thing.
