Weird On (Or Near) Campus Experiences

Life is full of strange, random encounters and happenings.

Here are some of the most memorable from my friends and I during our time at OU.

1. Serenaded in the Union

I was serenaded with an acoustic version of "Get Low" on the ukelele in the Union.

2. The Roommate

My friends had a roommate who, on two occasions, stored his urine in the communal fridge in the kitchen. He also briefly dated a man 40 years his senior.

3. The Life Story

I was once trapped in a nearly two-hour conversation with a woman in her mid-to-late 60's who told me her entire life story: she told me about her daughter, her husband's health issues, her disapproving father, the premature death of her rude brother-in-law, as well the entire plot of her favorite book and of a novel she'd written as a creative writing major.

4. Logie's Girl

My friend and I met a girl in Logie's who made herself very comfortable with us and told us she was mad at her boyfriend- Baker Mayfield's brother (a strange claim to fame). She also introduced us to her mother, a former Dallas Cowboy's cheerleader who was kicked of the team because she couldn't dance.

5. The Other Roommate

My friends and I briefly roomed with a girl who began growing onions in her bathroom sink. She also once clogged the toilet because she flushed her math homework down it.

6. Wasp in the Room

My friend was taking an exam and a wasp found its way into the room. They had to postpone the exam because students were afraid of getting stung.

7. Cuffing Season

My best friend's brother and his fiance filmed making out in the middle of a lecture hall during their Government class. They went viral on Twitter under '#cuffingseason.'

8. The Krusty Krab

My friend witnessed a group of students chanting the 'Krusty Krab is Unfair' chant from Spongebob Squarepants outside of Dale Hall- with much vigor and intensity, I might add.

9. Unexpected Interest

If I had wanted, I could have dated a Cameroonian lawyer who asked for my number on the bus.

10. Sleeping Bag 

My friend was in his Gen Chem class one morning when a girl came in with her sleeping bag and promptly laid down in the aisle of the lecture hall and went to sleep. Needless to say, she was asked to leave and not return.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
