Well the Winter Break is winding down, and we will be starting our second semester of classes on Tuesday. I’ve been back home for a month now, and while I have enjoyed the tasty home-cooked meals, my stomach is growling for some of the delicious food options back in Norman! So in honor of my return to campus this week, a list of the campus food options that I can’t wait to take advantage of! Most of these are actual OU Housing & Food locations, but there are a few local restaurants as well. All of these, though, are specific to Norman, Oklahoma.

“OU does not want you.” Can you imagine reading this in an email from one of your top college choices? Yikes, what a blow. Seeing this in her inbox is exactly what happened to a current student I’ve been working with, and no, that is not what I meant to write.
Mistakes happen, but many mistakes can be avoided with a little caution. I was reminded of this lesson last week while returning an email. With one slip of hand (and impatience to proofread), I had inadvertently sent the wrong message, and by wrong, I mean really wrong. In my head I was saying, “OU does not want to lose you,” but I decided to rephrase and turn it into a positive statement by saying, “OU wants you.” How it came out in the email after my indecisive and hasty phrasing was, “OU does not want you”…big oops. Luckily, I have a pretty good relationship with the young lady it was sent to; she emailed back saying, “Huh?” I quickly apologized and remedied the type-o. Luckily, we both laughed about it after the fact.
