Weird On (Or Near) Campus Experiences

In This Article:

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 BagĀ 

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.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
