Here are some things to actually be happy about this week.
Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Friday, Jan. 15, 2016.
This week was rotten.
This past week, we lost both David Bowie and Alan Rickman. It was icy and cold. To top it all off, no OU students won the $1.6 billon Powerball.
But there still is plenty to be happy about. It is Friday, after all.
The women’s basketball team is still undefeated in the MAC, Bagel Street Deli just finished some slick renovations and — wait for it — T-Pain will be performing for Sibs Weekend.
OU’s Black Student Cultural Programming Board just announced that the acclaimed rap artist and Autotune extraordinaire will headline its annual Sibs Weekend concert.
Tickets go on sale today. See, keep your head up.
