1. Our academics

OU is known for the energy business, meteorology, entrepreneurship, health sciences, Law, journalism, and dance. OU pushes academics hard and it's why we're all here; to get an education, to get a degree and to give back to the Sooner community. I don't play sports so I solely came to OU for the academics, it's definitely more difficult being only an academic student but you make the best out of the experience.

2. Having the most beautiful campus


3. Being surrounded by students everywhere you walk on campus

As of 2017, there are over thirty-one thousand students enrolled at OU. Even though we're a big school, the community feels small and homey; no matter where you go on campus or around Norman, other people will open doors for you and ask you how your day is. It's the small things that matter.

4. Everybody else envies us (because there's only one Oklahoma)

If you get accepted to OU, you're going to OU. How do you reject one of the most amazing and most successful schools in Oklahoma?

5. The extravagant fraternity and sorority houses

6. The greatest football team in America

I mean honestly, who isn't in love with Baker Mayfield by now? He's a legend.

Don't forget about the rest of our talented football team! Pictured above are Mykel Jones (#3), Austin Kendall (#10), and Jordan Smallwood (#17)

7. David Boren (DBo)

DBo is the most amazing OU president ever! He's brought so many great programs and scholarships to OU that he's forever made an impact on the campus. Sadly, he'll be retiring in June and he'll choose a new president to lead us.

BOOMER!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
