Wikipedia Trail: From USA Baby Names to OU

 1. List of most popular given names by state in the United States

I saw a post about this on the class announcements and thought it was so cool to look through and just see popular names in different states. What I learned from this is that over the next few years, we will see a TAKEOVER of girls named Emma in Oklahoma. 

2. Oklahoma

From there, I went to the Oklahoma page because I have lived here my whole life and wanted to see what Wikipedia had to say about my state. Honestly our population is a little higher than I thought so that's cool.

3. Norman, Oklahoma

Well obviously this is my next stop on the trail, as it is our home city at the moment. I have lived in Norman for so long and knew the Norman seal, but had never seen the flag before and its pretty cool (shown below).

4. University of Oklahoma

If I'm being honest, I kind of challenged myself to end up here through a trail and I did. I had never seen the motto of OU before, so if you don't know it either you should look it up, kind of cool.

Introduction to the Eyeball Guy

  Hi there! I'm Clay Buchanan and I am a senior (kind of I am going to take an extra semester...) at OU! I am a Biology Pre-Optometry major and am going to start applying to Optometry schools Summer 2021! You probably can agree with me when I say that eyes are really weird, but at the same time I think they are super interesting and am excited for a future in optometry. I chose this as my major because I knew I wanted to both interact with and help people, and after working at a clinic in Norman I knew it was the job for me. Outside of my school life, I am a pretty predictable guy. I am a proud Christian, I live and breathe sports, and love time with my friends and family. When I am not working or dealing with schoolwork, you can probably find me on the couch watching whatever game is on, no matter the time of day. I don't care if it is foreign soccer in a language I don't even understand, I love following, watching and playing sports. If I could sit down and have a meal wi...

Week 3 Story: The Chosen Ant

Image
  The Chosen Ant Many years ago, a very smart farmer began to toy around with genetics, creating a new species of insect. These small and ground-limited insects were named "Ants", and the farmer loved his creation and kept them close by on the farm to watch over them. However, in time, the ants began to rebel against the wishes of the farmer. As a whole, the species were lazy, always fighting with each other, and selfish in only looking out for themselves in food collection. The farmer noticed these changes, and were displeased with his creation, except for one ant whom he named Moah. Moah respected the farmer, still following the guidelines that were set in the beginning. One day, the farmer pulled Moah out of the boundaries of the farm to tell him he was going to start the population over, in hopes the next to come would be more respectful to his wishes. Moah understood, as he had seen the changes in the actions of his species. However, the farmer told Moah he had found fav...
