Cockle Bay Park

Cockle Bay Park by Henning Larsen will be a beautiful piece of the built environment. It is designed to be a human scale destination and an urban icon for the Sydney, Australia skyline and is roughly 73,000 square meters. It is yet to be completed but is expected to be finished by 2026.

Stacy rd Whataburger

Aside from being a fast food burger joint, Whataburger, the one off of Stacy Rd in Allen, TX to be exact, is a place where I have a lot of memories from my High School experience. I, and many other students would come to this Whataburger after football games and the line would be so long they had to hire security specifically for after home games and the line would normally be out the door. Along with post football game Whataburger trips were post party and Senior year lunch trips. This was a place to hangout with friends, sometimes even if I wasn’t eating. Whataburger as a chain was a gift to the taste buds of society, and this Whataburger as a structure was a gift to my high school experience.

Chase Oaks Church

This building is the church that I went to growing up. Being raised in a Christian home, I spent a lot of time at church and made a lot of friends there. This particular Church building is important to me as when we first started going to the church it was being taught out of a middle school auditorium, and it grew to the point where they could fund a building for the congregation and I was able to see that process take place. I think that one’s church, or building from one’s religion of choice is a place that everyone views in a positive light, and for me this was a place of happiness and an escape from everything that was going on in life at the time.

Headington hall

Headington Hall was where I lived my freshman year here at OU. This was the first time I lived alone in my life and was able to experience the freedom that college brings. The memories that were made here are ones that I will never forget. Between making friends, studying, and the occasional alcoholic beverage, Headington is a place of positivity in my memories and will be forever. My favorite encounter of this building was a time where I was eating in the Headington food hall and was asked by a random person if they could eat with me. I said yes, we ate and talked for a half hour or so, it wasn’t until after he left that I realized it was Samaje Perine.

Lovejoy highschool

Lovejoy High School was a place that I spent a lot of time at growing up. Going to school here I made life long friends, participated in extra curricular activities and ultimately it was the place that guided me to being accepted at OU. High School is a place in everyone’s life and I was lucky enough to say that my 4 years at Lovejoy had a positive impact on my life and my growth as a person.
