Life is full of strange, random encounters and happenings.

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 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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
