1. The strength I chose from my top 5 strengths was Futuristic. In my own words, it means a dreamer who loves to fantasize about the future. I identify with this strength the most because most of my life revolves around this strength. Sometimes it is a strength, but sometimes it can be a weakness for me. I love to think about the future and plan out my future, which is what keeps me driven; however, sometimes I think too much which causes anxiety. Being futuristic affects my academic and athletic life because it keeps me driven to be the best I can be. It affects my personal life because I love to think about the future, like who my husband will be, what job I will have, etc. I think because I'm a dreamer and I have big goals, I stay driven and motivated to make these come true.

2. The Curriculum Plan activities was probably the most helpful activity we did all semester. We printed out our degree audits and planned out our schedules for the next few semesters with the help of classmates and advisers. I learned how to properly plan my schedule for future semesters and determine which classes I need to take. It helped because I could spend time on it with the help of advisers, so I could ask any questions I needed. This will definitely help me with planning my schedule in my upcoming years at Ohio State.

3. I found the First Year Success Series sessions very helpful and useful. I went to Active Note Taking Strategies, the BBC Book presentation with Will Allen, Study Abroad Expo, and Communication 101. I found the Study Abroad Expo especially helpful because I am very interested in studying abroad one summer. There were many different programs and members to get information from at this expo. In Active Note Taking Strategies, I learned about different methods and tips when taking notes and in Communication 101 I learned about the different methods of communicating. Finally, at the session with Will Allen I loved how we got to experience the book in real life with the author and learn more about his life and goals. These sessions will definitely help me in the future in the classroom, in life, and for future events.
