My First Semester at OSU

Over the course of these first few months at OSU I have gotten involved with many things ranging from BEGO’s executive board to quidditch and I have loved it all. It’s hard to believe I once had any reservations about coming here. Before entering college I was worried about going to such a big campus and making and doing well in classes but after a semester here those fears have mostly disappeared. Making friends come quick with all the new people I was meeting through the different clubs I joined and with proper effort my classes were not as much of a struggle as I originally thought, although time management is still something I am working to perfect. Now my biggest concern is passing my finals. This semester has been so much fun with all the activities I participated in from my clubs to my scholars community. The humanities scholars community helped me engage in and learn about language, the arts, culture, and many other aspects of the humanities while meeting people with similar interests as me. Participating in activities like the gender blender, community meetings, and mentor group outings has helped me gain a better understanding of humanity as a whole and how I can help better it by getting involved. Throughout the next few years I look forward to continue being an active member of the humanities scholars community and hopefully my class schedule will allow me to attend more discussions and outings. One type of activity that I wished I could have made and hopefully can attend next year is the social justice discussions. With all that’s going on in the world and all the conflicts occurring domestically I think it is really important to discuss such issues if we want to fix them and as someone who wants to help with that I would love to be able to go to one of these events and learn more about what I can do.
