Haven't met before.
My name is Kelly, and I'm a first year at Ohio State University.
Today is October night, 2019.
My last class just ended 12 break has officially started today.
Well, walking around campus, I saw so many students with all their stuff packed up, ready to head home for me, something felt different.
I went back to my dorm room, I took off my backpack and I could feel the way of everything lifting off my shoulders.
College husbands hope is he almost non stop. 00:01:0.560 --> 00:01:10.600 It was like the first time I was able to not worry, not worry about having to do something every single second of the day.
With everyone gone, I was able to sit and think, Don't get me wrong.
I love this place so so much.
But I thought back, How did I end up here?
Now let's look back.
You have high school part of 25 colleges.
Yes, I know that's a lot.
And to be completely honest, I didn't think about Ohio State too much. 00:01:50.700 --> 00:02:3.970 I knew it was a big school with a lot of people, had amazing athletics and school spirit was near the city of promise, especially as a great isn't school. 00:02:5.460 --> 00:02:7.540 Finish your college of business.
Congratulations on behalf of President Michael B.
Drake in the entire university.
May I please offer your mission?
When I received my mission letter, I was glad I got in.
Of course, I don't feel overjoyed.
It wasn't at the top of my list.
Congratulations.
After receiving all my college decisions, I knew I had to pick some place to go before May 1st Decision Day.
I was able to narrow it down to two schools as some U in the ocean.
I wasn't sure what to do.
I wasn't in love with either one and I'd never visited.
After a while, I was able to convince my mom to let me visit. 00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:0.880 Yet I can only visit one school. 00:03:2.220 --> 00:03:9.150 So I decided to visit a wish you block plane ticket and headed out by myself.
Long story short.
I was able to visit the school for in a minute student event at Fisher.
But the help of two amazing students had no idea who I was.
And let me stay with them forever.
Grateful for you both.
You know who you are.
Anyways, when I first visited the school.
They thought it was nice.
I didn't get that feeling that everyone around me was telling me about how they fell in love with their school as soon as they stepped on campus.
E felt weird because I didn't really get that feeling.
But yeah, I like my school.
I like the city was in.
So I made my decision and I've been here for about eight weeks now. 00:03:54.310 --> 00:04:0.020 And I can tell you with confidence, I love my school and I do not regret my decision. 00:04:0.650 --> 00:04:9.860 I found love with people, opportunities, food in the fun activities that always go on.
There's beauty in all.
I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.
I am a proud, though I'm busy.
I carry a lot.
My plate college has officially become the best time of my life, and I just started way.
Can't wait to see what my future holds here at the Ohio State University.
I do plan on making more videos during my school year to share my experiences to help whoever needs help.
So stay on the lookout for new videos.
Thank you so much for watching.
I really appreciate you all.
I love you.
