I hope everyone is enjoying the summer – I know I sure am! We just celebrated the 4th of July which means summer is about halfway over. Now, I’m telling you this not to stress you out, but I want you to begin to prepare yourself. Next year you will be seniors in high school, the top dogs, the ones everyone looks up to. But it also means you will be in college the year after that (yes, you are all going to college, the only question left to answer is which one you will be attending). How many of you know what type of students colleges are looking for? There are millions of high school seniors in this country, so how will schools separate the best from the rest? I’ll let you know a little secret; we will do it using three simple letters – A C T.

Sooners Around the World
Spring semester ended in a whirlwind, but it was an enjoyable whirlwind at that. So many things on campus were happening as May approached that made finding time to do anything outside of schoolwork and school-related activities difficult. Highlights included The Big Event (OUs Official Day of Community Service), Sooner Scandals (Outstanding musical theatre-esque performances put on by groups from around campus), and, while I wouldn’t exactly call it a highlight, mountains of time spent writing end of the semester papers, completing assignments, and studying for tests. I also enjoyed being able to walk a little south of the dorms to watch OU Baseball or Basketball games when we found a little spare time. It was great fun participating in or going to watch things like this as the school year wound down.
My grades turned out very well making for happy parents and a great beginning of the summer. I’ve traveled a bit, taking a small trip to Colorado and some other minor trips around the state, but what’s been most astounding to me is all of the places studies and service are taking people I met this year at OU! Thanks to Facebook, I’ve seen pictures from all around the world. South Africa, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, England, China, and Chile are just a few of the places OU can send you! To be able to travel at this time in life is such a great thing, and the opportunities that OU and the OU Education Abroad Office allow you to realize are just one of the reasons you should strongly consider OU as you make a college decision.
