Find Your Niche

Whether you’re still in high school or a young college student it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to find your niche. I'm talking in terms of that thing you enjoy even though its challenging and can drive you crazy. As a Junior here at RSU I have found my niche. Whether that is participating and leading events on campus or working hard at graduating with a degree in medical molecular biology, I have found what I enjoy doing. Enjoying something makes the days seem shorter and the hours of work less difficult (even though you may want to pull your hair out after several hours of homework). If you like airplanes find something revolving around them, if you love to paint for goodness sake paint your butt off, if you enjoy biology like me become a doctor, marine biologist, or expert on yada yada yada. If you enjoy eating paste from a bottle like kindergartners, you should probably rethink your definition of enjoyment and other aspirations in life, but above all else find something you love.  Find something you love, work hard at it and success will follow!

Swing Into Spring!

      Hello readers! Since our last post, our tour office has been making improvements due to the rush of spring enrollment! High school seniors are ready to bust out of their hallways and move on to college life, so RSU's Claremore campus tour schedule is booking fast! Call today to schedule your campus tour with one of our, now THREE, senior student ambassadors. You will get to see the inside of both our campus living villages and view the on-campus sights as well as tour our buildings and classrooms! Interested in a certain major or program? We will schedule an appointment for you to sit down with one of the administrators of that department and look further into the degree in which you are interested. Call now because early enrollment day is March 29! 

      As for our non-senior college readers, spring may not necessarily mean graduation and moving on to a new chapter in life, but it is definitely a time to work toward that goal. Classes may seem easy to skip, but every class skipped is another day behind. So, keep up with your work and stay motivated! You will thank yourself later when others are scrounging around for extra points and all you will need to worry about is summer vacation (after finals, that is)! It's time to make the most out of this new spring semester. Go to activities, make new connections, and most importantly, make memories! Time flies, so fly with it! 

Best of luck and wishes for warm weather, 

Kelsey K. 

Peak of the Week:

I attended the Pentatonix concert at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa with some pretty amazing people! Let's just say that if you don't know Pentatonix, look them up and be prepared to spend 3 hours watching YouTube videos. However, their videos do not even do their live performances justice! WOW! A big thanks to Cary and Willie for tickets! 

Challenge of the Week:

Remembering and mastering our new NCA Nationals choreography for RSU cheer! 59 days 'til Daytona!!
