19 Thoughts All OU Sooners Have Over Summer Break
Maci French

As relieved as we all are for classes to be over, about two weeks into the summer, we all start missing Nompton. It's a fact. Relaxing by the pool is nice, but few things compare to OU tailgating, taco trucks in the South Oval and getting the privilege to attend the greatest college in the world. Boomer!

1. The University of Texas sucks.

Not actually being in school definitely doesn't change this.

2. Where is the closest Fuzzy's to my hometown? The Mont?

There is actually no way I can go all summer without a Jesus donut from Hurts.

3. I forgot what home-cooked meals tasted like.

I have survived on water and ramen alone for far too long. Okay okay and Tea-Caf.

4. Is there any way the construction will be over by the time I get back to school?

Yeah... absolutely no way.

5. I have so many quarters.

I haven't had to pay a Campus Corner meter in weeks!

6. Why do all of my friends live in different states than me?

I have like no one to hang out with.

7. Can I drive to campus just to check the progress on the stadium?

That has to be close to done by now. Which reminds me...

8. I cannot wait for some OU Football.

RAH-Oklahoma, RAH-Oklahoma....

9. Is there another Oklahoma school in the Big 12?

OS-Who? No, I've actually never heard of it!

10. I'm already dreading walking campus.

No workout compares to the walk to the Blender in late August.

11. Is the Alma Mater actually stuck in my head?

Neath a Western sky, OU's chant will never die. Live on University!

12. My high school is tiny.

I can't believe all of my classes used to be the same building.

13. The incoming freshman are so lucky!

They are going to have the most fun they have ever had in their lives. Boomer.

14. .... and also the most work.

May the odds be ever in your favor, newbies.

15. Yeah, I miss Norman.

The restaurants and campus corner and my friends. Can I go back yet?

16. Do I have to buy a new parking pass EVERY year?

Side note: Did I ever pay my parking tickets from last semester?

17. I should have never tried Baked Bear before I left for the summer.

I crave it every day. And I seriously mean every day.

18. I go to the greatest university in the world.

Hands down. Sooner pride runs deep.

19. Texas still sucks.

This one never really changes.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
