Famous Last Words: One year


 I have been in the class for basically a year now. I look the Indian Epics version in the spring, and the Mythology Folklore this semester. I am so glad I took both and I really recommend to everyone to take the counter version of what you are in. I cannot tell you how much I have learned about different cultures, people, and history through the stories I have read. It is so interesting to me how much the stories we tell can say about ourselves.

This class was a little bit out of my comfort zone since I have not written any sort of fiction writing and then let someone read it since probably middle school. I really believe we reveal a lot through our writing, whether intentional or not and fictional or nonfiction. It took a lot of self-convincing to not care what people thought about my writing and stories. I feel like it has been a good exercise in growth mindset though to push myself.

I do not think I had a favorite reading, but I do think I liked the Indian Epics stories more than the Myth Folk. They were both great but Indian Epics was like a whole new world that I had never experienced before. I also feel like I learned more in that class because I was so unfamiliar with the material. My favorite writing I did was the Rugrats story from that class too. I am really proud of that one and the creativity of it.

I know that I will still technically be a full time student next semester (just spread between TCC and OCCC) but it still feels weird to be graduating next week. I don’t think that it has sunk in yet that I am graduating. I have been thinking a lot about it lately though, especially because my 23rd birthday is in a few weeks. I think that time goes faster at this age because life is changing so much. I feel like from 10 to 13, time moved by at a snail’s pace, but just yesterday I was 20 and in 21 days I will be 23rd. It is interesting that how we perceive time can change like that.

Anyway, I do not feel prepared at all for the future, although that has never stopped the future in the past, so who knows what will happen next. I do hope it is great though. Happy end of semester everyone!

Introduction to an Almost Graduate

Hello! My name is Kennedie Milligan and I am a (super)senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a Communication major, a Women and Gender Studies minor, and am also pre-nursing. These three things may seem like a random grouping, but I have a lot of interests and am slightly indecisive, so this is what I have come up with. I went to high school in Broken Arrow and that is where my parents still live today. I have 3 brothers, and from my older brother I have 3 nieces. My entire family is pretty much in Oklahoma and has been my entire life. There is not a lot I am sure of in life, but I am sure that I need out of this state. I am graduating in December and then I am going to nursing school. I want to go to a accelerated program for my BSN out of state, because I am afraid if I don’t leave now then I will never get out. I just decided to do nursing last August (hence the extra semester of undergrad to get my prereqs in) and so I am a little late to that game. I have always k...

Dealings of Gold

I was minding my own business one day, as I always do, and then I heard the saddest noise. It was a girl crying so I followed the sound to the castle. There I found the most beautiful woman. She told me of the predicament she found herself in. It seems that there was a misunderstanding between her and her mother.             It all began with a slip of a few words, which led her to believe she could eat the five pies her mother had just baked. It was a simple confusion, but of course, her mother was angry. To taunt her about the mistake she began to sing a song about it, but it also so happen that the king was walking by that day and heard the mother’s song. The mother was embarrassed that her daughter had been so thoughtless and ate all five pies, so when asked about the song, the mother said that it was about her daughter sewing five gold strings. The king was so impressed that he married the mother on the condit...
