You have to walk in it. |
Nothing, I love the cold weather. |
Getting sick. |
Having to walk from class to class. |
| The best gift I ever received was... |
A scholarship to OU. |
It doesn't matter if it was a gift. They're all good no matter what. |
My car. I have a Honda Accord. |
Everything because I get what I ask for. |
| The worst part about final exams is... |
The hours and hours of studying. Taking the exam is the easy part. |
Not being able to study like a regular student because we're always gone. |
The stress and worrying. |
Going to the library and not being able to find a place to study. |

Nowhere. Norman is home and it's my favorite place. |
Virginia Beach |
In high school I played at Texas Stadium in Dallas.

| My favorite sport to play other than the one I am here for is... |
I would have to say softball. |
I would probably do Rugby since it looks equally as intense and fun.
|
Definitely football. |
I want to say basketball. |
| My New Year’s resolution will be... |
Keep in touch with my family more. |
To stop being so hot-headed.
|
To still be undefeated. |
Not to let little things stress me out. |

Kobe Bryant |
All of them. Celebrities have it easy. |
Lil' Wayne |
Terrell Owens |
