Garth Brooks was recently a Homecoming Marshall at OSU. He was inducted into the OSU Alumni Hall of Fame. He gave a wonderful interview about why he loves Oklahoma State and how he wants to give back.
I am sure some of you (okay....most of you) get sick of me talking and blogging about Oklahoma State. But let me explain---when you have such great experiences somewhere, you cannot help but want to tell everyone about it. If you were going to make a movie about what college should be like, that would have been my three years. I just feel like everyone should be as lucky as I was to have this experience.
While I was in college I learned so much more than the material to pass an ag econ test. I learned who I was, how to be on my own, where I wanted to go, what real friends were. I learned to sing the alma matter, learned to wear orange on Friday, never to take a 7:30 class, and that free pancakes at midnight for a week are not good for the waistline! I learned what it was like to make my own decisions, how it felt to succeed at something I never thought possible, that I could meet and become friends with a huge variety of people, and what it meant to be proud to be part of a school. I could go on and on.
I know that OSU is not the only place to have a great experience....but I think it's the best place! Garth apparently agrees. I knew I liked that guy! :)
