26 Signs You Go To Oklahoma State University

Whether you're currently a student or alumni, Oklahoma State University holds a special place in our hearts, along with some experiences we all go through. There's always something going on that's shaking up Stillwater.

1. You've always wanted to be a Paddle Person.

Two hundred and fifty paddles. 12 Football Games. One hyped football season.

2. You have an endless supply of Eskimo Joe's cups.

And Eskimo Joe's T-shirts.

3. You've experience cardiac arrest multiple times during the second half of a game.

We put the "second-half" into the "second-half team"

4. Thanksgiving means Bedlam.

Plus, who can make the best comebacks during dinner.

5. And you're thankful you're not a Sooner.

6. You've experienced the long lines of the Student Union.

7. And learned Tapingo is your best friend.

Now since they expanded their delivery options, there's no reason to put on pants for food.

8. You're obsessed with the campus year-round.

The perfect balance between seasons.

9. You love Homecoming.

Walk-around, Homecoming and Hoops, Homecoming parade, and the busiest weekend of the year.

10. You've slaved over pomping hours to get the decks perfected.

Twelve hours of straight pomping in one day? No big deal...

11. Freshman Follies, Varsity Revue, and Spring Sing are a big deal, whether you're in a house or not.

Freshman Follies is well worth the cheesing and long practices.

12. You say "Go Pokes" whether you're in a good or bad situation.

"Got an A on a test? Go pokes!" "Currently losing a football game? Go pokes!"

13. You know about the tuition myth and always wanted to test it out.

P.S. it's false so please do not be like Regina George and get hit by one.

14. You've had the struggle of finding a parking space.

No matter how hard you try, finding a parking spot is nearly impossible.

15. You use any excuse to throw up your guns.

16. You've gotten free pancakes during finals week with Matt Fletcher.

You're the real MVP, Matt.

17. You've gone to any of the three Aspen Coffee locations for a study date

18. You know J.W. Walsh, Rudolph, Gundy, and Pistol Pete are our homeboys.

Ain't nobody messing with my clique.

19. You've gone through the barn at least once.

Whether you're 21 or under, there's a drink for everyone.

20. Dirty Curty's are the midnight munchies.

Whether its Qdoba, Whataburger, or Dirty Curty's, the midnight munchies are always spot on.

21. You would do anything for free food or T-shirts.

It doesn't matter if you're related to the organization or not, you will take ANYTHING.

22. Rawhide and Calf Fry are the go-to concerts at Tumbleweed.

T-Pain knows how to throw a party. Just saying.

23. You blast the OSU Alma Mater when you travel through Norman.

24. You will always Remember the 10.

Through thick and thin, the Cowboy family is always the definition of a family with unconditional love.

25. If it has black, white, and orange on it, you will buy it.

26. If you tell them the Cowboys are coming, just know hell is coming with us.

There's only one state, and that's Oklahoma State University.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
