Weird On (Or Near) Campus Experiences

Life is full of strange, random encounters and happenings.

Weird On (Or Near) Campus Experiences

Here are some of the most memorable from my friends and I during our time at OU.

1. Serenaded in the Union

I was serenaded with an acoustic version of "Get Low" on the ukelele in the Union.

2. The Roommate

My friends had a roommate who, on two occasions, stored his urine in the communal fridge in the kitchen. He also briefly dated a man 40 years his senior.

3. The Life Story

I was once trapped in a nearly two-hour conversation with a woman in her mid-to-late 60's who told me her entire life story: she told me about her daughter, her husband's health issues, her disapproving father, the premature death of her rude brother-in-law, as well the entire plot of her favorite book and of a novel she'd written as a creative writing major.

4. Logie's Girl

My friend and I met a girl in Logie's who made herself very comfortable with us and told us she was mad at her boyfriend- Baker Mayfield's brother (a strange claim to fame). She also introduced us to her mother, a former Dallas Cowboy's cheerleader who was kicked of the team because she couldn't dance.

5. The Other Roommate

My friends and I briefly roomed with a girl who began growing onions in her bathroom sink. She also once clogged the toilet because she flushed her math homework down it.

6. Wasp in the Room

My friend was taking an exam and a wasp found its way into the room. They had to postpone the exam because students were afraid of getting stung.

7. Cuffing Season

My best friend's brother and his fiance filmed making out in the middle of a lecture hall during their Government class. They went viral on Twitter under '#cuffingseason.'

8. The Krusty Krab

My friend witnessed a group of students chanting the 'Krusty Krab is Unfair' chant from Spongebob Squarepants outside of Dale Hall- with much vigor and intensity, I might add.

9. Unexpected Interest

If I had wanted, I could have dated a Cameroonian lawyer who asked for my number on the bus.

10. Sleeping Bag 

My friend was in his Gen Chem class one morning when a girl came in with her sleeping bag and promptly laid down in the aisle of the lecture hall and went to sleep. Needless to say, she was asked to leave and not return.

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?

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!)
