College Transition Reflection

College Transition Lecture Reflection
1. What are you most worried about as you start college?
As I start my first semester of college, I am most worried about finding the right major for me. I feel lost when it comes to what major I find most interesting and could see myself working in for the rest of my life. I know I have not even completed two full weeks of college and I do not have to pick a major right at this moment, but I feel a looming pressure to decide as I will only have a few more general education courses to complete next semester.
2. What are you most excited about?
I am most excited about learning new topics and information in my classes here at The Ohio State University to expand my knowledge. I enjoy school and enjoy applying myself to my classes so I look forward to the semester to come!
3. What academic strengths are you bringing in from high school?
I am bringing my academic strength of dedication and hard-work from high school with me this first semester. I plan to continue to always give 100% of my effort, complete my homework on time, and study diligently for all my classes.
4. What co-curricular activities are you interested in getting involved with?
I ran cross country in high school so I am excited to join the running club! When I was at the Involvement Fair, a few clubs that interested me were Advocates for Women of the World, Buckeyes for Canines, Relay for Life, and Global Health Initiative.
5. Which piece of advice from the panel most resonated with you and why?
A piece of advice that resonated with me the most from the panel is that it is alright to not have a major picked right away. The fact that every student up there had a major picked and that the Exploration Program worked to help them decide their major gave me some reassurance that I will find one eventually. Also, someone mentioned The Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry, which interested me so I signed up to receive emails from it.
