The King’s College Chapel is a world renowned location with beautiful Gothic architecture. While Cambridge University has many famous and historic locations, King’s College Chapel stands out as one of the most esteemed locations. The chapel looms over the rest of the college and is considered a centerpiece of the area. Many students and faculty go there each night to pray and the concourse outside is a place for many outdoor activities. When I studied abroad I had the opportunity to visit Cambridge, and the chapel was one of the coolest locations. The area around the chapel is quiet and serene. When I went inside, it was like an entirely different world. One of the most memorable places I have ever been.

This is a cabin located in West Yellowstone, Montana at Yellowstone National Park. My family loves to spend time outdoors and explore nature, so naturally Yellowstone National Park is always one of our favorite places to travel. Some of my favorite memories are from staying in these cabins, from learning how to play poker to listening to my uncle tell spooky stories. I love the architecture of these cabins, especially the large windows and open layout. I didn’t realize it as much when I was younger, but the quality time that I have spent with my family here is something that I will cherish forever. Just looking at pictures of the cabins makes me feel sentimental; I hope to bring my children to Yellowstone National Park one day, too. 

Ever since I got to OU I thought Price was one of the prettiest buildings on campus. 3 years later I still stand by that. My emotions walking into price however change pretty drastically depending on the day. Price will always be a part of my college career and I wouldn’t of asked for anything different.

Clackamas Mall which is located in Oregon, has always been my favorite place to go growing up. If I wanted to hang out with a friend after class we would take the bus and meet up here. Anytime we wanted to shop or get something good to eat, we’d come here. There hasn’t been a year that I didn’t show up to the mall until I moved to Oklahoma. During Black Fridays the mall would light up and sometimes with different colors which enhances the look of the building and although the building might look simple, It will always be a reminder were I chipped my front tooth playing tag and will always remind me of home.

Visiting the Alamo was such an eye opening and humbling experience. The history behind the building and the countless lives that were lost within it brought a different weight while being there. I am always very interested in historical buildings, so this was a very moving experience.

This gym is where I grew up playing basketball all of middle school and high school. This gym means a lot to me because of the time I spent here. It would always make me feel happy here because I was surrounded by my friends and basketball. This gym is different from most gymes because of how the court is sunken down from the stands making it unique.

This last building is one that I thought was just a special part of the Norman campus area. The Chouse was formerly St. Thomas Moore Catholic church but is currently a house located on 717 W Boyd St. in Norman. The Chouse was renovated into a private living residence by I believe a Norman couple. I think they mainly host concerts/meetings there now so I am not sure if anyone lives there, but they do have a facebook page that details whats going on there currently. Overall I love the look of the Chouse and the small garden on it’s side. It definitely would be my first pick if I could choose anywhere to live in Norman, as it is such a cool concept and could offer some really unique floor plans.

One of the most memorable experiences of my life was the eighth-grade trip to Washington D.C. I definitely won’t forget our first day when we went to the National Cathedral. Never before had I seen such elegant gothic architecture, but at the time I would’ve just said “wow, that church looks dope!” I was absolutely stunned by the array of colors on the stain-glass windows. Also, I distinctly recall how long the path was from the doorway to the alter; our tour guide said that the path was so long that it gave enough time for a bride to change her mind during a wedding. I also remember that the organ had pieces that ranged from the size of your pinky to about 30 feet tall. All these different components permanently imprinted the experience in my mind. I highly encourage, if you’re going to D.C., stop at the National Cathedral.

I only went into the Devon tower once in my life. As you approach the doors it is a very intimidating piece of architecture as high as you can see it’s all just glass. It’s got fountains outside of it and beautiful decorations inside of it. The reason I went to Devon was to take my girlfriend on a date at their restaurant the vast. The elevator right up oh like forever but once we got to the top it was one of the most amazing views I’ve ever seen. The Devon tower makes all of the rest of the buildings in downtown look so minuscule. It’s like a diamond in the rough.
