So OSU I've only been here for exactly eleven days.
And in those eleven days I've met more people/introduced myself to than all of my 4 years of high school put together...yes you read that right. I meet at least 4 people a day. Its defiantly been a learning experience for me, and I love it. I told myself before arriving on campus that this opportunity of attending college I will not be taking lightly, not even in the slightest bit.
Friday through Tuesday I was doing the Activate Leadership conference. It was one, an opportunity to move in a week earlier than everyone else and be introduced to the campus PLUS attending leadership sessions. I would highly recommend this to an incoming freshmen attending OSU, especially if you are wanting to expand your horizons right of the bat.
Through this conference I attended seminars roamed campus and met some awesome leaders and friends. Shout out to Kyle (our group leader) for giving our group the real lay-down on how to be a successful student versus just trying to get to know us.
Through this conference I met Mattie! She is an Okie and I am beyond thankful for her. We have bonded over so much in such a small amount of time! She knows so many people, it's so funny to walk around campus with her because she runs into a different friend every time! She has introduced me to a lot of people!
On Wednesday Activate teamed up with the OSU Sustainability for move-in day and helped with recycling card board boxes versus just trashing them. We made such a huge difference this year and I can't wait to see the recognition the school gets from it.
Now that was a long day it was SO HOT outside!! But well worth it. After we wrapped up Activate with a banquet.
On Thursday WELCOME WEEK activities started! Things got real here; as everyone was now on campus and I look in every direction and there are so many people that could one day be in my life and or never speak to or see ever again. Scary stuff right there if you ask me.
I attended Phired Up, Resource fair, ministry discovery seminar, a study harder seminar, the library lawn party, BCM worship night and Convocation.
I had a very full schedule and it was SO much fun!
I was so worried that my options with finding a school ministry or a new church home would be limited but that is SO not the case here! I won't go into too much detail yet but I am excited to see where God leads me.
So many older girls in different campus ministries have been texting me and inviting me to events and I went to have coffee with some and some us went downtown to the local food truck fair!
On Sunday we had a 'party' on the field. We really just took our class picture in 90 degree weather for about 30 minutes and then we got to sit in the bleachers and learn football tradition and chants. It was a lot of fun! I am so excited for football season!!
And finally Monday was the first day of school! Boy was I nervous, but I truly had nothing to worry
about. I made to every class on time (some a little too early, were talking like 30 min. early, LOL) and I didn't get lost!! Yay, Go Me!
I LOVE THIS CAMPUS AND THE NEW FAMILY I AM APART OF!
