MORE ABOUT SHELBY

• How many people were in your HS graduating class?

  180 something.

• Why did you choose OSU?

  Oklahoma State University and Stillwater blend a friendly small town atmosphere with an exceptional academic opportunity for a one of a kind, accessible college experience.

• What is your favorite memory of your college experience?

  The great memories I have from OSU could fill a book…but one of the best was following the Cowboys to the Final Four my senior year. I love OSU basketball!

• What is the one piece of advice that you would give a freshman?

  Smile and make lots of friends in your classes. You never know when you’ll need to borrow notes or ask a question.

• What was your favorite class at OSU?

  Heritage of Dress.

• What is your favorite OSU tradition?

  The ringing of the Old Central Bell after a victory over OU…this is the home of the Bedlam Bell, after all.

• How did you know that you had found the right major?

  When you enjoy a subject and like going to class you know you have a good fit.

• What is the one thing that every new student should bring to campus?

  A real deal alarm clock! Cell phones can run out of battery and you don’t want to miss that first class of the day!

• What would you do differently if you could start over as a freshman?

  I would have explored campus. There are so many off the beaten path places to enjoy and experience at OSU.

• What percentage of your wardrobe is orange?

  My t-shirt collection is about 80% but my wardrobe as a whole is only about 10%

• What do you think is the secret to a good freshman GPA?

  Study as you go, not just the night before a big test. It only takes a few minutes at the end of the day to review your notes from that day’s classes. That little bit goes a long way when you start to prepare for exams.

• What is the most surprising thing about you?

  I planned on attending OU until fall of my senior year of high school, but now I bleed orange and couldn’t imagine having a college experience anywhere else.

• What reality T.V. show would you be best on?

  "What Not to Wear" I just love Stacy and Clinton!

• What was your greatest fear when starting college?

  Getting lost and showing up in the wrong class room, but fortunately that never happened.

• Who was the one person at OSU that influenced you the most?

  Not just one person influenced me at OSU. I had so many professors, classmates, and friends that helped and encouraged me along the way. Together, they taught me that in serving others you benefit the most. OSU really is a community working and playing together that makes us all a family of Cowboys!
