The dorm I stayed in my freshman year was Walker Tower. This was the first test I had with living on my own. This was also the tower that my dad said he stayed in during his freshman year so it felt like I was following in his footsteps with being at OU. Every time I look back at the towers I am reminded of the different things I had done my freshman year and how I survived my first semester. It provides a nostalgia for me now that I am preparing to graduate this December and I hope that it provides comfort for the residents who are staying there too. It was a bit cramped for my liking but provided a place for me to sleep as I spent most of my days traversing campus. While many do not like the dorms for their design, it will always have a place in my heart for being the first place I was truly independent.
