2018-2019

Overview

During my first few weeks at the University of Cincinnati, I was highly strung and filled with self-doubt. The monumental decision of choosing a college landed me three and a half hours away from home surrounded by strangers and with more independence than ever before. As I became more familiar with the campus and people in my classes, I was able to enjoy the content I was learning as well as the many ways I was able to become more involved within the university as well as the city of Cincinnati. Throughout my first and second semester, I encountered many challenges, some of which were expected and others that were not. Nonetheless, having complete my first year at UC, I can confidently say that I chose the right university at which I will study and prepare for my future. Featured below is a slideshow containing pictures taken throughout the year that were significant to my first year as a Bearcat!

One thing that was difficult to adjust to was not being in the same city as my best friend, Rachel. She attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, a 45 minute drive from UC needing to be made with the help of public transportation. The photo above was taken with some of our friends at the Cincinnati Zoo, the first time we saw each other after starting college. The importance of fostering relationships built prior to college became clear fairly quickly; through this, I was able to see who my true friends were and how they individually impacted my life.
