Oklahoma Tops Texas

Oklahoma Tops Texas

The feud between Oklahoma and Texas has only one clear winner. If you know one thing, you know that Texans love Texas. They love to be from Texas, they love to talk about Texas and they have a laundry list of reasons of why Texas is greater than anything else in this entire world. But, this is Oklahoma and Texas just sucks. This is in no way related to OU/TX, but if you thought it was I won't deny it. I am not biased. Oklahoma is just better than Texas.  And I am going to tell you why.

Oklahomans are nice.  It is so rare to find good, genuine and caring people in this world, and Oklahoma has an entire state full of them.  You need a door opened for you? Got it.  You are going through a tough time? Prayers and homemade meals are heading your way. Need to chat?  Life advice, deep conversation, and laughter is just a phone call away. Generosity flows abundantly in this great state, and that is something I do not take for granted.

Austin is weird and they advertise it, themselves. Even Texas knows that Oklahoma is better. 

Not counting weddings and homecomings, nothing makes my eyes water like an OU football introduction video. The heart pounding, tear jerking, emotional rollercoaster that ends with a strong burst of pride would be enough to bring you to your knees, if not for the obligation you feel to stand and show your support of the team. There is tradition, leadership, and resounding confidence emitted from that video that fills the hearts of all OU fans. We just do it better.

If we are going to stay on the topic of football, let’s just talk about Trevor Knight for a hot second.  We all know he has a girlfriend, but if Katy Perry can ask him to call her, I can briefly write about him for my small handful of readers. That jaw line! It is strong, it is mature and it is wise beyond its years -- all things that Texas is not and will forever hope to be.  Sorry guys, even our Trevor’s jaw-line is better than you.

Do we even need to talk about that burnt orange? Probably not.  

Back to football. We have more national championships, more Heisman winners, more All-Americans. We win, Texas loses. But, we already knew that. 


Even if we’re not talking about football, OU does it better. Yes, OU parking is not the shining moment of anyone’s day, but it still beats Texas’ parking.  We have a better professor-to-student ratio, which is important regarding learning and becoming positive members of society, and we all know that Texas students are not such members.  And, yeah, we are smaller, but that just means better relationships for you, but still having all the opportunities of any other campus. This brings me to OU’s (David Boren’s) pride and joy -- National Merit Scholars and study abroad. OU has the most, and we have the best programs.  Need I say more?

All in all, Oklahoma is the greatest. Oklahoma is more than OK, it’s home.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
