Happy New Year, everyone! The spring semester is in full swing and it is great to be back on campus at Ohio State University. Over the winter break, I traveled to cities such as Denver and Chicago, hung out with friends and family, and relaxed with a good book in my spare time. With a whole semester to reflect back on, I thought it may be helpful to share some of my first-semester takeaways.Create GoalsBefore each semester, I recommend writing down goals you want to accomplish over the course of the semester.

I cannot believe that my first semester in the MHRM program has come to a close. As I reflect on the past 14 weeks, countless hours have been spent in the classroom, at work, studying, and participating in school-related activities. Though most of my posts focus on the professional aspects of graduate school, I wouldn't have created a realistic picture of my experience thus far if I didn't mention the amount of fun I've had attending social events, hanging out with my classmates, and getting to know Columbus.

It is the end of November and we all know what that means...It wouldn't be the holiday season in the Midwest without the expectation of a snowy, winter wonderland. Having lived in Michigan my entire life, I've had my fair share of cold, unpredictable weather. Since the Fisher College of Business has a diverse body of students from all regions of domestic and international areas, I thought I would share my tips for conquering the winter season.Outerwear: My go-to outdoor ensemble consists of a parka (long winter down coat with hood), snow boots paired with fuzzy socks, and gloves.

Graduate students at the Fisher College of Business can join a variety of student organizations based on business areas, community service, and other common interests. One of the organizations I wanted to highlight this week is called Fisher Follies, a group that supports Fisher graduate students in need by raising funds through a variety of events during the academic year. More specifically, these funds are used to assist students if they run into financial hardships.
