Dale hall

Edward Everett Dale Hall Norman, Oklahoma OK Original Vintage ...
Dale hall is not the most interesting design of a building and personally I don’t think it looks rather good but it just goes to show that a building is more than what it looks like based on the memories it can hold. This building holds many memories for me, mostly from freshman year. I remember the runs from the dorms in order to try and make it to class some what on time as well as the many friends I made in those classes. It brings back our pledge class chapters from freshman year that often got just a little bit to rowdy and the freezing walk over there from Bens house. this building although not pretty to me holds many fond memories that give it a special value to me.

Southern Hills Country Club | Wanap Golf
This building is representative of more of the entire club that brings back so many memories to me. When I say I grew up here I mean that quite literally. During the summer I would spend any where between 8 to 10 hours a day here playing tennis, golf, swimming and fishing. every time I drive up the front entrance with massive trees on either side it reminds me of my childhood. I remember the countless hours I have spent here training for tennis as well as all of the friends I have made along the way. It reminds me of the time my childhood best friend and I commandeered a golf cart only to get it stuck in mud and clay in the middle of February and how cold we were having to dig it out with our hands. I remember fishing on the ponds when I wanted to get away from my family. From proms and dates that I have had here it doesn’t only remind me of events from the past but people from the past.

BOK center

The BOK Center holds many positive memories for me. This Arena is where I went to my first concert ever and some of my favorite concerts ever. Walking in on of the many entrances I initially feel lost due to just the sheer size but I also know as long as I keep walking in one direction I will eventually find what I am looking for. The building also is an enjoyable thing to look at. I always have memories of driving down the high way in Tulsa just to look to my right just to see this massive arena wondering and hoping that I will be able to go back soon.

Beta

The Beta Theta Pi house at OU is not only stunning to look at but has had a greatly positive effect for me. every time you walk through those great big pillars and open the heavy metal door you are reminded of how you are a part of something bigger than yourself. Living in this building has given me many memories, most of which were great but some that I’d prefer to forget but all of those memories accumulate to the feeling of comfort that I get when I walk up those front steps. Unseen in this picture but the basketball court and grill to the left of the house holds its own set of memories from home coming practice to grilling with my brothers on Sundays, every part of this house holds its own unique identity and memories for me.
