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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
