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!

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.
