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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
