Snow!

Hey there my fellow Hillcats!

In case you didn't go outside or look out a window its snowing here in Claremore! Now I personally love snow. It's fun to play in, throw at eachother, and makes a good reason to stay inside and watch a movie or do homework.

Now with all this fun and play can also come some real dangerous situations especially if you are driving.

Before you are driving first thing to do is to make sure your windshield is clear of most if not all snow/ ice. The best way to do this is by starting the car to have the defrost blowing on the windshield on a medium setting, at least to start with, and using an ice scraper. NEVER pour water, espcecially hot water, onto your windshield when it is covered in ice. The rapid heating from the water can cause your windshield to crack!
Now as you are driving make sure to take it slow and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination leaving about 20-30 minutes earlier should give you plenty of time. Look out for ice on the roadways and watch the other cars.
Should you happen to start sliding around do NOT slam on your brakes. This can cause one tire to grab the road better than the others sending you spinning everywhere. You need to let off the gas and slowly peddle the brakes until you regain control. If you start sliding to the side then turn your wheel to the direction you are sliding and peddle your brakes off and on until you turn back the right way.

Hope you guys have plenty of good safe fun out there!
And if you all have anything you want to add or topice to be discussed remember to comment below.

Valentine's Day..

Hey there my fellow Hillcats!

As you all know Valentine's Day is tomorrow! So guys hopefully you already have the dinner reservations and other plans in check for your lady. If not then you better hurry! Well what if he or she lives far away and you can't see eachother in person? Then you can do what me and my girlfriend are probably going to do, skype call! You can light your room that you're skyping in really elegant and pretend to be at a fancy restaraunt or whatever else your mind runs into.

For all of you people that do not have a significant other then no worries I have some great ideas for you too. You could make your own date completely by ourself and you do not have to worry about it going horrifically bad, or trying to impress anyone.

Then if all else fails there is always Mr. Homework. He will never forget about you and always there to keep you company. :) No matter how much you shove him away he always comes back. Haha

Well guys and gals that's it for this week.
Remember if there is anything you want to me to talk about leave a comment below :)

Give your brain a rest..

Hey there my fellow Hillcats!

As the semester continues on and homework starts pouring in from all directions, remember to take a break every now and then. Not only does taking a break relieve you from long boring hours of studying it gives your brain a rest from its work.

Some ideas for fun things to do:
1. Find some friends and just hang out or go to an event, anything other than studying.
2. As its getting warmer, go for a walk in the reserve.
3. There are plenty of groups on campus hosting events almost everyday. So find one that you're interested in and explore it.
4. Nothing better than some good ol' games or T.V.

Now this obviously aren't the only things that you can do, rather they are ideas to help you get away from the books for a little while. I'm not saying spend countless hours doing these things when your paper is due the next day, but when you're getting stressed out remember its okay to take a short break every now and then.

EVENT of the week:
This week is Kappa Sigma, fraternity, and Alpha Sigma Alphas', sorrority, rush week. What this means is that both of these organizations are looking for new people that would like to join. They are both holding events every night so if you have ever thought to yourself "Hey I wonder what its like to be in a Frat. or Sorr." then this is the week for you! Find out for yourself who the people in these organizations are and not just believe what you've seen in movies. 

By the people for the people:

Hey there my fellow Hillcats!
I'm a second semester Freshman with a Medical/Molecular Biology major. I am the SGA Rep. for the Pre-Proffesional Health Club which is also apart of the national Pre-SOMA, Student Osteopathic Medical Association. I'm looking forward to discussing many topics in this blog. Hopefully I can discuss some things that you guys want to talk about and answer some questions that you may have about either of these organizations.

I came from the great metrapolis of Oktaha, Ok where I had a graduating class of 54 students! When I started looking for Colleges/ Universities that I would like to attend the first thing I looked at was the price to attend. Now I know that all the great recruiters and other people looking to get you into their school that you should not look at money but the school itself. In my eyes all that's going to bring you is an unwise investment when you could be saving potentially thousands of dollars! So I applied to many schools and every Scholarship they would offer me. So when I had it narrowed down to a few schools then I had to make my decision on where to go.

I chose RSU because of the smaller campus and I had several friends that go here. With a smaller campus it gave me a good upgrade from my small hometown without being launched into a huge university such as OU or OSU.I believe I made a great choice in choosing RSU. Not only are the students that you can meet everyday very friendly, but the staff and Proffessors are great in helping you out in every way they can!

Well guys and gals I believe this is enough for one day. If you have any questions feel free to ask away!
