The ABC's Of The University Of Oklahoma
University of Oklahoma

There is no place on the Earth like the University of Oklahoma. A majority of us are Sooner born and Sooner bred, but when we all die we will be Sooner dead. There is only one Oklahoma, and I am so glad that I get the chance to be a student at this university. The ABC's of the University of Oklahoma are things that all of my fellow Sooners can relate to.

A is for our athletics because nobody else can even compare.

B is for Boomer!

C is for Campus Corner.

D is for DBo (aka President David Boren).

E is for education because technically we are here to get a degree.

F is for Fuzzy's at Campus Corner; fishbowl anyone?

G is for Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

H is for Hield, as in Buddy Hield. He might have graduated, but we still love him.

I is for intramural sports that many students participate in.

J is for Julie Siberts, the first female drum major for the Pride of Oklahoma (Who run the world? Definitely girls.)

K is for the kids that we support through CAC's official philanthropy, Soonerthon.

L is for Lon Kruger our head basketball coach.

M is for (National) Merrit Scholars (DBo's pride and joy).

N is for no parking (literally anywhere on campus).

O is for O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!

P is for the Pride of Oklahoma.

Q is for all of the quiet hours we spend at the Biz (aka the library for those who do not go to OU).

R is for Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma, O-K-U!

S is for Sooner!

T is for Thursday nights at Seven's.

U is for the best university on the planet, aka the University of Oklahoma.

V is for victory because we have 32 national championships.

W is for Dede Westbrook, our beloved wide receiver.

X is for all of the X words I do not know, but hey our many National Mert Scholars probably know all of them.

Y is for my fellow Okies that say "y'all."

Z is for I do not know what words start with Z, but hey last year we had two Heisman finalists (Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook). What about you?

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.

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.

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.
