This week is the biggest week in Stillwater - America's Greatest Homecoming is here! There is no place in the world that celebrates homecoming like we do at Oklahoma State University. The entire university and town join in on the historically named homecoming. Students, staff, residents work around the clock to show the world just how special Oklahoma State University is!

America's Greatest Homecoming is all about showing why Oklahoma State University is the best university in the nation. We all have so much going on that it is unreal. From Football Frenzy, the Harvest Carnival, Hester Street Painting, Sea of Orange Parade, the floats, the pomping, the painting, Homecoming & Hoops, dying the fountain orange, Walkaround, and watching the Cowboys kick ass!

America's Greatest Homecoming includes the famous Walkaround around the Greek houses. Planning for Walkaround takes months of preparation from Greek Life and vendors supporting the event. These are the reasons that make Walkaround so special:

1. The House Decs

It's hard to believe, but this entire sign was made with tissue paper being pushed into chicken wire. Greek Life spends hours on days on weeks making these amazing house decorations. Some move and spin and it is almost unbelievable that something like this is possible to be made. Praise to Oklahoma State Greek Life!

2. The Signs

Another tradition at OSU is the signs that Greek Life, student organizations, and residence halls take place in for homecoming. Again weeks go into planning these great, original, and creative signs.

3. The People

Without the people coming to Walkaround to appreciate all the work that goes into making this Homecoming so special. The Cowboy Family all comes together for Walkaround, and there is nothing like being a part of this crowd. Thousands of Alumni return to Stillwater because of the connection that we all have. We are all forever, LOYAL & TRUE.

Thank you to all that make Walkaround happen and making America's Greatest Homecoming a thousand times better. Read more of what makes Oklahoma State Homecoming so insanely amazing: America's Greatest Homecoming: We Earned It. We are always loyal and true - GO POKES!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
