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!

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.

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.
