The Armory at OU

The armory is really special to me because I was the last freshman class that got to use it before the restored it. it is one of the oldest active armories there are it is over 100 years old. This building has a lot of character and history in it. The armory just went under a year log restoration. They gutted the inside because it is a historic building so they could not change the exterior. The inside now looks very modern and much more open. The bricks and the building style really match well with the rest of campus. I feel very connected to the armory and I am grateful I got to experience it before and after the restoration.

St. Patricks Cathedral NYC

St. Patrick’s is an iconic landmark in New York City. I believe it is gothic style of Architecture. They just recently cleaned and restored it a few years ago so it looks nice and white again. It truly is a massive cathedral and the detail on the outside is insane. When you walk in the inside it is shaped like a cross almost. There is the large center and then two side wings of it. There are stain glass windows and a huge organ on the inside. It really is a beautiful building and I am in aw every time I get to walk by it or in it. Also the front of it is has a large court yard area with steps leading up to it which is very nice as well. I have always had positive experiences every time I have gone here

Fenway Park

I grew up watching the Red Sox so I always wanted to visit here someday. I got to take a tour when i was 17 and that was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Each part of the park has so much history behind it and character to it. The seats on the left field side are almost 100 years old so it is really cool to say that section is how it looked so many years ago. Also the park has its own garden on the top that not many people know about and they use the things they grow in the food they sell during games. I got the chance to go to a Red Sox Yankee game last summer and we sat in the outfield so I got get a really good view of the stadium and it was one of my favorite memories I have had. there is such a cool vibe and the stadium itself is so old but it doesnt seem that way its character has really grown with the times.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The MET has always been really special to me and my family. We try to take a trip to the MET at least once a year. I also had the chance to come here twice for field trips growing up. The building itself is like a work of art to me and there are so many amazing aspects to it. Besides the iconic front steps and the big center staircase inside, I love the glass room on the right side where the Egyptian room is. Each section of the MET is so unique and it really makes you appreciate the building as a whole.
