Being from Norman, I never really had the desire to attend the University of Oklahoma. I wanted to get away and go somewhere that wasn’t where I grew up. I would go to class and do the bare minimum I needed to do to get through college but it wasn’t until about half way through sophomore year that I began to really admire the architecture and buildings that were on campus. My favorite being the Biz. It wasn’t until this point that I began to finally appreciate a new found sense of pride and love in my university. Having this love for my university affected my experience here at OU in an extremely positive way. I no longer see it as the place where I’ve been basically my whole life, it is now this beautiful campus that I have the privilege to attend and something to be proud of.
