If you frequent the OU Norman campus, you will surely be familiar with the things on this list.
1. Crimson and Cream everywhere

Everyone is either nervous and shy or excessively excited and impressed
3. Bird and Lime scooters on every corner

Those bikers are not about to slow down for you
5. No shortage of places to get coffee
Second Wind, Gray Owl, Stella Nova, Michelangelo's, and of course Starbucks
6. No parking enforcement on Sundays!
7. Campus hecklers
Some particularly interesting quotes I've heard yelled at passersby- (I swear these are real):
"You're not here to go to school, you're here to drink and do drugs."
"You're all condemned!"
"...and I did not eat that brisket!"
"I'll save all you broken women. You can call me Captain Save-a-Hoe!"
