Self-Discipline

1. Homework

2. Working Out

3. Cleaning My Room

4. Eating Healthy

5. Waking Up Early

Homework- I can improve this by not waiting to the last minute every time I have something due. Also by putting homework first and making sure I do not stop until it gets done every time.

Working Out- I can improve this by actually getting myself out of bed to work out. Sometimes I am just so lazy and do not feel like working out at all but I know I need to no matter how I feel.

Cleaning my room- I never want to clean my room because I feel like its the least important thing I have to do. I can improve this by setting a time when all I do is clean my room everyday.

Eating Healthy- It is so easy on campus to not eat healthy. The main thing I need to work out goes back to working out, because if I work out like I should, I can eat more stuff.

Waking Up Early- This is the hardest thing for me to do. A way I can and will fix this next semester is putting important classes early in the morning so I have to go to them. This will also help me out because I will get done earlier in the day. Which will give me time for a nap. 

In my life the person that has the greatest deal of discipline is my roommate Hayley. All the things I listed, she does everyday and I learn so much from her and how to better myself with self- discipline because it does not come easy to me like it does for her. 

I am accountable for my homework is the main thing. And making sure it gets done properly and on time, that is the most important thing to me. The other things can fall in to place but school is work is number one and always will be. I feel that I am accountable to my parents because they are the ones paying for my schooling, so I do not want to come up to college and blow off my studies and school work because that would be wasting their money.

OU Mission

The mission statement of the University of Oklahoma is to provide the best possible educational experience for our students through excellence in teaching, research, and creative activity, and service to the state and society. 

I think that most students at OU are living the OU mission statement, including myself. I try everyday to take full advantage of all OU has to offer me. The University has done a very good job at creating resources not just for new freshman but also for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There really is so much to do here. At a University the most important thing is having good teachers. There are excellent teachers and staff here, that will help students in any way they can. The University touches on so much in the state and in the society. What happens on the campus does not just stay on the campus it goes all throughout society and the state. I think that OU is living out their mission statement very well as far as I have seen. I do not think much things need to change because as far as I have seen OU has made the best educational experience for me so far and I would not change a thing. 

Who's who

Since I was not here in class for the who's who brunch, I am going to write about my friend that just passed away. The reason for why I was not in class last Thursday. 

My friend Barry Danfourth passed away on last Sunday. He was 23 years old. About three years ago his sister passed away in a car accident,  since then he has never been the same. I know myself I have no idea what I would do without my brother in my life. Everyday is hard to think that he is not here anymore. That I can not just call him whenever I have a question to ask him. Or I will not see him when I go home and go somewhere. I still have wishful thinking that I will go home this weekend and he will be there, but I know he won't. He has taught me that even through the hard times you have to keep your head up. He really was one of the strongest guys I have ever met in my life. He is missed not just by me but by many people. 

He has impacted so many peoples lives because he really was the sweetest and most caring guy I have ever met. He would go out of his way to say "hi" to someone and make them feel comfortable where they are. It should me how loved he was by everyone when I saw how many people came out to see support what is left of his broken family after the terrible incent. I wish everyday that he was still here, but I know that where he is he is happy and with his true love, his baby sister. 

The best advise I can give to other freshman is live everyday like it is your last. You honestly have no idea what might happen tomorrow. Also another thing is not to judge anyone because you never know what they are going through and what is going on with their life.
