What do most students at the University of Oklahoma anxiously await for? The answer is easy...OU football. The day is finally here! On September 3, our football team and many Sooner fans will travel to Houston, TX for the first game of the season against Houston at NRG Stadium. There is nothing better than football season, especially when we get to watch our Sooners take the win.

1. A sea of crimson and cream

There's nothing better than looking around the stadium and seeing a sea of crimson and cream. Sooner fans definitely know how to go all out and proudly support our team by wearing our favorite game day outfits.

2. Baker Mayfield

Our quarterback might be No. 6 on the field, but he is definitely No. 1 in our hearts. We can't wait to see him lead our team to victory this year, and luckily we get him for one more season after this one.

3. The new stadium

Sooner fans are extremely excited to attend the first home game against the ULM Warhawks on September 10, in our new and improved stadium. Our new scoreboard can be seen all the way in Oklahoma City and we can't wait to put it to good use!

4. Tailgating

Tailgating is one of the best parts about game days in Norman. The perfect way to start off game days is by playing games and eating food with your friends before the game starts.

5. The student section

If you are a student at the University of Oklahoma, then you know that being in the student section at a football game is literally so much fun. Everyone stands during the whole game and everyone is so pumped to be there. Your voice will be gone after the game from chanting and yelling to support our team.

6. The Pride of Oklahoma

Everyone looks forward to hearing the Pride of Oklahoma. OU fans take a lot of pride in hearing both our pep song and our state song. Everyone knows every word and we sing it proudly. The Pride's halftime performance is always entertaining to watch. They don't disappoint!

7. Football

Obviously one of the main best things about game day is football. Who doesn't love to watch football, especially when it's OU football?

8. Being with your friends

There's nothing better than spending the day with your friends who love OU football as much as you do. It's a fun-filled day where you get to make life long memories with your friends.

9. The college experience

Going to football games is a big part of the college experience. Sooner game days are definitely something that every OU student should experience in their life time. It's always a great experience.

10. Away games

Home games are fun, but away games are also a great experience. It's fun to travel with your friends and discover a new place. We have to cheer on our Sooners no matter where they are!

11. Home games

Home games are filled with an intense amount of energy. Everyone is so hype and ready to cheer on our Sooners to victory. It's great to look around and see the crimson and cream blocking out the other team's colors.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
