In the fall, football is my all-time favorite sport to watch. During the game against Mizzou last weekend, the most beautiful sunset took place. It was gorgeous! This was such a special moment, with the band playing and the fans all cheering. I sat in the student section but happened to be very high up in the stands this game. Even when you’re high up in the stands, everyone is so excited to be at the game and to be a part of the Sooner family. One of my favorite moments of the game is before the game even starts. Every week at home, they play a video that shows all of the players and Coach Stoops. When he says “there’s only one Oklahoma” the crowd roars with excitement. It’s amazing! If you haven’t been to a game yet, I would definitely recommend coming out and supporting the team! Even if you’re not a student here, you will definitely get the same feeling of excitement that everyone has. BOOMER SOONER!

As I am getting settled in my classes and starting to plan my schedule for next year, I’ve started to realize how much I rely on all the different OU websites! So I thought I would post a list of some of the sites that make my life as a student and resident so much easier! Read more

Oklahoma Football at Its Finest

Transitioning into college has definitely been a tough thing. I can still remember my senior year in high school and stressing out over college, how my classes were going to be, and exactly what life would be like. Now that I am here, I am hoping I can share some ways to make transitioning into college a little easier for you. I will begin by telling you something you have probably heard many times before: college is all about managing time wisely. You have one hour of a class and a lot of free time that you may or may not know what to do with. Getting used to dorm life, classes, and dealing with free time can become overwhelming. Here are just a few things to keep in mind: Read more

Welcome to my Boomer Blog! Seeing as its my first blog (in a series of many), I think I should go ahead and tell you a little bit about myself and my experience at OU so far. Read more

So here I am two weeks into my JUNIOR year at OU! Wow, I seriously cannot believe how quickly the time has flown by. I’m beginning to miss those gen-eds as I sit in some of my first 3000-level classes wondering if I’m in the wrong class as I look at the insane syllabus in front of me. Haha, but it’s all going to be a-okay. Why? Because we have incredible three day weekends like Labor Day Weekend. Let me just let you in on my awesome weekend as a Sooner.

Well, it is officially my senior year. I am not sure if I have come to believe that to be true though. I am currently on my porch writing, doing homework, and listening to some of my favorite music in shorts and a sweatshirt, which is my all time favorite outfit. The weather has been absolutely beautiful this week so I have been staying outside as much as possible.

Not only do I get to wear my favorite outfit, but I have been drinking my favorite drink…pumpkin spice latte (for all you Starbucks lovers you know my excitement). But what is even more exciting than all of those things is the fact that it is 45 days until HOMECOMING.

Mondays are definitely not the most exciting thing: knowing you have five whole days of school before another weekend can be a bit overwhelming.  But last Monday, Sooners throughout campus had something more to look forward to than just the weekend – game day.  And not just any game, but the first home game of the season.  We all know that OU is known for its football (if you didn’t know, we’re ranked ranked number one in the nation right now).  Anyways, all week long I heard people talking about game day – the tailgates, Campus Corner, and of course, the game.  It all sounded so exciting, but when Saturday afternoon finally came around, my expectations were blown away.

Today’s August 22nd, the first day of my sophomore year, and I can’t believe it’s already here. This summer I studied abroad in Peru for a month with OU’s new Journey to Latin America program. I can safely say this was the best experience of my college career, granted I’ve only been here for one year! After I returned, I was a counselor at Camp Crimson, OU’s orientation camp for incoming freshmen and transfer students. A high energy weekend full of teaching OU traditions, boat races and pool parties, leadership development activities, and new friends, Camp was a great way to cap off my summer.
