I will never forget the morning I woke up and saw that I had been accepted into the best university in the world, I'll never forget sitting in a chemistry office calling the admissions department and asking them if it was a joke. I'll never forget the feeling of pure joy and happiness that I felt. And I'll never ever forget screaming Boomer Sooner down the halls of my school and to my friends and family.

I'll never forget the amount of pride I felt to say that I will be attending The University of Oklahoma. I'll never forget the people who have supported from that moment and onward. I will never ever forget how easy it was to make my decision to attend OU. I'll never forget the going away parties and the see you laters throughout the summer with the people closest to me.

I'll never forget the nervousness of traveling 1,518.2 miles away from everything I knew just to take a chance. I'll never forget lugging five bags through the airport. I'll never forget the feeling of excited-ness when I got on the plane in New York. And I most certainly will never forget the feeling of home when I landed in OKC.

Home is a funny word to me because over the years I've learned that a home is something you make, not something that is guaranteed. I've made a home in New York, and I've made a home In Oklahoma. But it's not the physical buildings that are homes, it's the love from the people who care about me, and that's the special part of a home.

Stepping foot onto the University of Oklahoma's campus on August 15, 2017, was the most amazing moment of my life. I felt safe, I felt peace and I felt happy. Especially when I realized how close my dorm was to the football stadium.

I spent the next day touring the school and finding everything I needed to find, stadiums included. The first time that I saw Owen Field and Marita Haynes I all about almost fainted. Because it was so surreal that I was here, that I was living my dream.

I never thought that it would have to end so soon. It's a year later and I still feel the same way about OU as I first did, I always will. However there's another plan for me somewhere, and I have to follow it. I'm heartbroken and happy at the same time. Happy because I got to be a part of the best university for a year and a half now, heartbroken for obvious reasons. Thank you to OU for giving me the best year and a half of my life.
