Taking advantage of free Wi-Fi at bookstores has paid off for a former University of Oklahoma student wanting to simplify buying tickets to sporting events.
Not everybody’s ready for some football.
Features
Jenny Coon Peterson
I don’t like football. I don’t care who won last year’s Heisman Trophy. I don’t care what hilariously named bowl game your team is attending. (Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, really?) And I feel really alone in that sentiment.
Under-21 action
Not every college kid is 21 or older. Here’s what to do when drinking (legally) isn’t an option.

Alex Ewald
Going out on weekends is a rare union of public humiliation and pride for me, the perpetually underage, now-20-year-old student. Being a mature adult is a big deal in college, and Campus Corner is full of them, every Thursday through Sunday.

Add the fact that I was finally free to decorate my own space (no more lavender carpet and paint-splatter wallpaper last popular in 1989!), and I quickly turned into a decorating machine. Except I never had any money, meaning that “decor” was mainly on-sale finds consisting solely of little keepsake boxes and tiny frames. Otherwise known as junk.

One Oklahoma City University graduate is attracting a lot of attention driving around on his new version of a bicycle, and he can’t help but love it.

You have to be buzzed in at Verdigris (1001 N.W. 10th; 602-8986), which makes me feel very posh. (Although, I think it has more to do with the up-and-coming location than keeping out the proletariat.)
Urban jungle
Just because we live in a city doesn’t mean critters won’t set up house in your home.

Sassy savvy
What were you doing at 14? Two Piedmont girls have started their own business.
Features
Emily Summars
At 14 years old, you were probably staying up late watching movies, swimming all day and eating all the junk food your body could handle. Who knows when those Double Stuf Oreos will catch up with you, but at 14, who cares?
