Ive visited and stayed on both OU and MU campuses so I know a bit about each of them. OU's website shows the calmer more peaceful side of the campus life, when from experience i know its really nothing like that. I mean yes there are peaceful moments during the day but OU is straight party all the time. Sure the academics might be great but the campus life is even better.
MU's site portrays a beautiful campus and ways the school strives to "make new leaders" and they do. the academics are amazing the campus is huge and looks like its straight out of a movie, the campus is built around the town of oxford so everything you need is there.

Blog #7
My reaction to the "more than just dolls" page is, I agree with it 100%. Young girls do look at dolls and get that image stuck in their head as do young boys. The "Perfect" image. The boys think hey Batmans completely ripped does that mean I should be, or the girls, "barbie has a perfect body and has all these nice things, so if I look like that will I"? It just puts a lot of pressure on children.
I do believe body image is still a huge issue in the world today. Everyone wants to have the "perfect" body and are willing to go great lengths to get it like it matters that much. Sure being fit and in shape is healthy, but people go beyond those lengths. Men, woman and children in foreign countries are dying of famine and drought and look like they weigh next to nothing. It sickens me to say it but some woman would do anything to look like they do. The show called "America's Next Top Model" shows some of the lengths woman have to go to be considered "pretty", its ridiculous.
It just makes me sad that some people cant be happy with what they were given.

Negative
While I was sitting outside of Bennett Hall I noticed how hot out it was and I started sweating :\. Then A huge Tool decides to walk out in front of me flexing straight out of the building like hes trying to prove something. Probably one of the most obnoxious things Ive seen all day. Then to top that off the ex-girlfriend is sitting downstairs eying me don as soon as I walk through the front doors like I shot at her dog or something, not just a regular stare either it was more like a cold I really really hate you stare which made my day even worse.
Positive
While I was enjoying my break from English 151 today i decided to sit outside of Bennett Hall on one of the many benches. Some of my classmates even decided to join me. We were all very bored so we decided to people watch. I noticed many of the very good looking woman we have here at OUC, Ive never noticed before, I also noticed how nice the weather was with the sun all shining bright, and little breeze blowing. I also noticed how diverse the school actually is not race wise but style wise, clothing wise, goth kids moping around with all they're makeup and chains on, gangsters swangin around in they're baggy pants, ritzy people nose up in the clouds like they own the place.
