We’re back and better than ever! Steve’s still crushing F45 (and waiting for that sponsorship), but don’t bring up the Detroit Lions.  Kalyn may still not know who is (and who isn’t) in the Big Ten, but that didn’t seem to bother the graduate school admissions people.  Kalyn will also be continuing to bring her talents to Ohio University for at least a few more years.  As for the podcast?  Our contract has been renewed and our mission continues…..to bring exciting, interesting student stories to all of those with College on the Mind.

National Guard commitments forced Ohio University Mechanical Engineering major Alaina McRoberts to start her freshman year 6 weeks late.  She felt behind, lost, and scared.  Did she give up?  Not Alaina.  Alaina expects things to be challenging, she expects to struggle, and she expects to get knocked off balance.  And she is okay with that.  She has the power of positivity on her side.  Listen in and let Alaina’s outlook lighten your load.
