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!

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.
