I am emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted.

Since I’m a freshmen, I had only ever heard stories of OU/TX weekend. I was told it was long and tiring but I thought, “its just another football game, how bad can it be?” Poor sweet Lexi from a week ago had no idea. The word for the weekend is “humbling”. I woke up at 6:00 in the morning to get ready to go to a football game where we were beat 49-0. After that, I kinda just wanted to go back to the hotel room and contemplate what had just happened. I did indeed go back to the hotel room, but promptly a nap (which is how you know something is wrong with me, because I can never take naps) because I was too drained to begin processing what we had all just been through. A moment of silence for Sooner Nation as we deal with these challenging times. On a serious note, this year is a rebuilding year for our team, and it’s our job as a fan base to stick with them through this, even if some of us (me) feel like banging our heads against a wall after game day. We feel that way because we care, and I’d rather have that feeling than not care about my team at all.

The weekend wasn’t all bad. In fact, it was actually kinda great besides from the actual game. I started the weekend off with two stepping which, in my opinion, is the best way to start any weekend. I got to go shopping with friends and walk through a giant mall, which is always fun, and I got to hang out with some of my new favorite people. They’re the kind of people that make the losses not hurt so bad and I count myself very lucky that I got to experience my first OU/TX weekend with them. <3

To conclude, the actual entirely of the weekend was a solid 9.2/7, the actual game we don’t talk about.

All my love,
