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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
