Enrollment < Fun.

One of the best things about being a senior in my FINAL semester: not having to mess with enrolling in the upcoming semester. Technology is such a wonderfully frustrating part of our lives, and it seems that for every improvement made, there will always still be a few guaranteed glitches down the road.  We will […]

“It’s Just Not the Right Time.”

Okay, I’m going to go a little Carrie Bradshaw on you fabulous unwind readers. Lately I’ve been reflecting on a string of similar issues in the dating lives of my friends.  These are girls and guys who are in the 18 to 26 age range. (Because who would ever write about their own dating experiences […]

A Day in the Life of a Super Senior

I am nearly half-way through my victory lap, or ninth semester in undergrad, and I can’t help but notice that there are several trends in my social life now that my graduation is well, over due.  (Like for instance-spending more weekends at home than I ever did before everyone else my age graduated.)

It is Time.

Well here we are, children.  Dead week.  Hell week.  The one week in the semester when all the epic date parties and wild nights on campus corner seem tragically dwarfed by the fact that every single one of your professors is trying to kill you.  Who cares that you’ve had the time of your life […]

Love is Blinding

Perhaps you’ve seen my rants about my absence of motivation, direction, life goals and general grown up-ness that have plagued my entire existence.  And true, all these less than redeeming qualities have been a part of my life since I was an itty bitty fetus…but there’s another more immediate cause that I’ve thus far been […]

Pinky and the Brain

Have you ever had a professor so brilliant, so inspired, so passionately dedicated to his students that he completely scared the Holy Hell out of you? If so, then welcome to my world. Dr. Gade is a well-known professor in the school of Journalism and Mass Communications (a.k.a. my home-away-from-home).  He’s one of those academic […]

Pretzels in the Dorms

When I think of pretzels I think big and soft, not thin and crunchy. Which usually leads me to the mall. The mall is home many a pretzel shop. When I was but an adolescent, one of my favorite things about going to the mall were the delicious pretzels. Today pretzels are enjoyed all over […]

The Hidden-Away Pizza

I have lived in Norman for a little longer than 2 years now. There aren’t a lot of places to eat left that I haven’t yet visited, yet when my professor suggested eating at a pizza place I had only briefly heard of I was honestly a little nervous. First off, I didn’t even really […]

Dirty Copper

Let me preface this by saying I’m not trying to start a movement against the Norman police and/or disrespect their shiny badges.  I can’t imagine how trying it must be to chase down date-party drunkards every Thursday night, let alone deal with all the Okie meth heads (which I’m pretty sure inhabit at least 40% […]
