Oklahoma State's Homecoming is just a few days away. You know what that means; nonstop work until the day. Right? Wrong. As great as Homecoming is, not everyone is super involved. Here is what it's like when you're just not that worried about it...
1. When you're NOT pomping
Pomping? Have fun with that. I'm going to be spending my time doing literally anything else. That being said, I think the floats and house decks are beautiful, and I'm grateful to those who make them. Grit your teeth and poke away.
2. When you hear about the borderline sweatshop conditions of those who ARE pomping
Because it kinda sounds like you're locked in a dungeon until Saturday. Do you need food? Water? When was the last time you saw the sun? Blink twice if you're being held captive.
3. When you notice the fountain is orange on the way to class Monday
YOOO. WHEN DID THEY DO THAT? That's actually pretty awesome. I have a more important question though; can we tell the Freshmen it's Gatorade? Like please? This could be the best homecoming to date.
4. When someone mentions the Chili Cook-off
You don't even have to be in a club to enjoy bowls and bowls of delicious chili. AND you don't have to cook. That's like nonparticipation TWICE and you get food. Chili cook-off guys; might be worth going to.
5. When you drive by Greek Row on Friday night and people are hanging off decks like Spiderman
You're not sure what is happening, but it looks pretty entertaining. Are you all safe? Should he be upside down? Should I be staring at the welding? The answer to all of those questions is NO.
6. When the parade is starting and you're... asleep
It's not that the parade is bad... it's that you're bed is so, so, good. And just because you weren't up all night working on a float doesn't mean you weren't up all night... watching Netflix. THE PARADE IS EARLY OKAY IT'S REALLY STINKING EARLY.
7. When you still go to the game and scream your head off because GO COWBOY FOOTBALL!
It doesn't matter who you are. You should be at Boone Pickens when the game starts and leaving with a sore throat. The atmosphere of a Homecoming game is electric no matter what you do. Cheer on our Cowboys!
8. When they start announcing awards during halftime
People are talking so fast it sounds like an auction. People are running. Trophies are being handed out. IS THAT GIRL CRYING? Chaos and anarchy is happening in the Greek Section. You just carry on eating your pretzel.
9. When the Greek kids all leave the stadium after half time
Alrighty then. Bye Felicias.
