Hey there SOONERS! My name is Kendal Nichols, I am the Events Director for the Class of 2017 Council. Did ya’ll have an amazing #SB14? I spent my Spring Break in the warm and toasty state of Wisconsin! Just kidding, it was below forty degrees and snowing most of the time. Unfortunately, it was not like the pretty “let’s build a snowman” kind of snow, rather it was the dirty mud that had been there all winter, snow! The only good thing about my break was that I got to be with my family, who choose, for some unknown crazy reason, to all live in the North! Oh and the doughnuts– they have some amazing doughnuts (see pic below and yes that is an Oreo doughnut). 
But now as I am driving back to Norman and thinking about being back, I realize how I have missed the weather and the welcome home feel that Norman gives off. You may have felt that feeling too, if not, the next time you are driving into town and coming down Lindsey (if it is not packed) just look around you and notice everything like Classics, Donut King (haha can you tell doughnuts are important to me?), then you see campus and it is like you are home again!
Well, that is until you get to your dorm and realize since you cannot find a parking spot you will have to lug your stuff all the way from your car to your room. Ultimately ending with all your stuff on the floor and you want a nap. If you did not go anywhere for spring break, I hope Norman treated you well and you got to indulge in a nice relaxing break!
Now that we will all be back soon I know we only have 6ish more weeks of school! GET PUMPED! I am so excited to say I have completed my first year at OU. We have to remember in order to keep climbing to reach the top of the food chain we have to realize it is not over yet! So here are some tips to get through the rest of the semester…
1. STUDY! I know “duh I know I need to study” Well I am telling you that it study more then you have studied before this is the time were you will see if you need to drop a class or seek tutoring!
a. http://www.ou.edu/classof2017 has some great information if you need it! This has been a great resource for me!
2. Check how many meal points you have left! If you’re like me you have around a hundred points left. If this is the case spend them on things you can reuse like water bottles or chips that you can reseal! If you have a ton left remember snack foods can help you study, and mints help you remember things for test!
3. HAVE FUN! OU is an amazing place with amazing opportunities! Do not be afraid to go out and apply for something new like Class Council whose applications go up this week! Or CAC there are so many ways to get involved and meet new people by just turning in a short application!
We are almost done guys! Together we can conquer it all just keep your head up and do not let the Spring Break you just had hold you down! We as OU students can do anything we set our minds to! And remember the Class of 2017 Council is always here to just hang out or hear your ideas so SPEAK UP we will always listen!
Boomer Sooner!
