On the second week of school, I attended the Honors Ice Cream Social outside of Honors Hall on August 29th. I went to the even with Maddie Weninger, a friend from high school, and we both filled out the get-to-know-you bingo sheets.

Also, I want to be present during the first few meetings to see what Honors College is all about and what it has to offer. Additionally, I like to be involved in service projects, and some of the ones that Honors has to offer actually sound interesting to me. Some of the events in Honors College actually sound interesting and fun compared to some of the other activities on campus, so I plan to be active by participating in as many events as I possibly
