Letter from OU :)

Dear Verdigris Class of ’10,

I am writing you today to give you some tips that I think may help you out within the next year.
First of all, February is almost over and I’m hoping that by now you all have applied for college somewhere. But if not, don’t worry! Still apply somewhere! Your first choice might not still be taking applications, but you do NOT need to take the first year off just because of it!
If you’re going to somewhat of a harder school, (like OU, TU, ORU, etc.) and you think a course might be crazy hard, consider taking it at Community College over your summer break, or during intersession.
Talk to upperclassmen! Find out what courses are good to take, and which professors are cool. Upperclassmen have already been in your position, don’t be scared to talk to them and ask them questions!
Try not to room with someone that you already know. It ruins friendships.
If you’re going to party, try to do it in moderation. Keep in mind that you are having to pay to go to school now, and grades are important. Failing a class means taking it again, and taking it again means paying for it again.
Make new friends.
Live it up.
Ask questions.
Get involved.
Take lots of pictures! (Be sure to keep inappropriate ones off of Facebook though!)
And cherish every minute of college. It truly does go by faster than you’ll want it to.

Love, T.K.
