Oklahoma Tops Texas

Oklahoma Tops Texas

The feud between Oklahoma and Texas has only one clear winner. If you know one thing, you know that Texans love Texas. They love to be from Texas, they love to talk about Texas and they have a laundry list of reasons of why Texas is greater than anything else in this entire world. But, this is Oklahoma and Texas just sucks. This is in no way related to OU/TX, but if you thought it was I won't deny it. I am not biased. Oklahoma is just better than Texas.  And I am going to tell you why.

Oklahomans are nice.  It is so rare to find good, genuine and caring people in this world, and Oklahoma has an entire state full of them.  You need a door opened for you? Got it.  You are going through a tough time? Prayers and homemade meals are heading your way. Need to chat?  Life advice, deep conversation, and laughter is just a phone call away. Generosity flows abundantly in this great state, and that is something I do not take for granted.

Austin is weird and they advertise it, themselves. Even Texas knows that Oklahoma is better. 

Not counting weddings and homecomings, nothing makes my eyes water like an OU football introduction video. The heart pounding, tear jerking, emotional rollercoaster that ends with a strong burst of pride would be enough to bring you to your knees, if not for the obligation you feel to stand and show your support of the team. There is tradition, leadership, and resounding confidence emitted from that video that fills the hearts of all OU fans. We just do it better.

If we are going to stay on the topic of football, let’s just talk about Trevor Knight for a hot second.  We all know he has a girlfriend, but if Katy Perry can ask him to call her, I can briefly write about him for my small handful of readers. That jaw line! It is strong, it is mature and it is wise beyond its years -- all things that Texas is not and will forever hope to be.  Sorry guys, even our Trevor’s jaw-line is better than you.

Do we even need to talk about that burnt orange? Probably not.  

Back to football. We have more national championships, more Heisman winners, more All-Americans. We win, Texas loses. But, we already knew that. 


Even if we’re not talking about football, OU does it better. Yes, OU parking is not the shining moment of anyone’s day, but it still beats Texas’ parking.  We have a better professor-to-student ratio, which is important regarding learning and becoming positive members of society, and we all know that Texas students are not such members.  And, yeah, we are smaller, but that just means better relationships for you, but still having all the opportunities of any other campus. This brings me to OU’s (David Boren’s) pride and joy -- National Merit Scholars and study abroad. OU has the most, and we have the best programs.  Need I say more?

All in all, Oklahoma is the greatest. Oklahoma is more than OK, it’s home.

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.
