20 Thoughts You Have As A Freshman During OBU Welcome Week
Tara Swinnea

This last week was my third Welcome Week at Oklahoma Baptist University and I loved it! Working Welcome Week (which is our freshman orientation) is a blast and a great way to meet students, but it is even more helpful as a student. I can hardly believe it was three years ago that I experienced this craziness as a freshman. Then I had no idea how much fun I would have helping with Welcome Week. So here are 20 thoughts you have as a freshman during OBU welcome week.
1. Oh my goodness I'm finally here.
2. I'm going to be living and learning in all these buildings.
3. Man, could it be any hotter?
4. These lines are crazy.
5. Why are a bunch of people shaking my car?
6. What random people want to carry my stuff to my room?
7. Yay my stuff is all in my room, but now what do I do?
8. Though I won't admit it, I'm glad my parents are here to tell me where to put everything.
9. I wonder if my room will ever be as organized after mom leaves?
10. Will I be a geek if I wear my name tag all week just so I know the schedule and where I'm supposed to be?
11. This orientation meeting is so boring.
12. What is going on, are these people all just obsessed with Rocky?
13. You mean I wear this beanie thing all the time?
14. Did they say my name yet, do I want them to?
15.What's a tri-W(pronounced tri-dub)?
16. I'm so tired, all I want to do is sleep.
17. *While learning Ka-rip* I thought Baptist didn't believe in speaking in tongues?
18. I don't know if I'll ever understand half of the skits at skit night.
19. Unity gathering-let me try and listen to someone pouring out their heart while not letting my candle go out or pour hot wax all over my hands.
20. Welcome Week has been great but I'm ready for classes to start so I have time to take a nap.

While Welcome Week is crazy and super busy, it honestly is such a blessing. It not only prepares everyone for classes to start, but it also provides important information and gives all students a chance to meet new people. I love OBU Welcome Week and am so blessed to have been a part of it!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
