With eight weeks left in the semester, there are still many things to do on campus and in Stillwater.
In these next weeks there are ways to fill your time easily, a few of them are major events or fun activities to get you through the rest of your semester, including stories to bring home for the holidays. But first, what you may of missed that you’ll have to do next year.
What you missed
Of course, when walking around campus, it is easy to tell that Homecoming is over and the fun of last week now shifts to the ongoing assignments and classes until Thanksgiving break. But if you missed Homecoming this year next year it will return and be just as fun, for all students, family and alumni.
Several sport teams are also far into its seasons. Football and soccer held some amazing games for the student section. The themes enhanced the experience.
Soccer season has had themes like Goofy Goober night and dog night, which invited dogs to Neal Patterson Stadium for a Dog’s Day game.
What you still can do
But there are still things you can do to make the fall semester worthwhile.
Fall sports are coming to a close just in time for the multiple winter sports housed in Gallagher-Iba Arena to start. Basketball and wrestling seasons start the first week in November and last into the spring semester.
LexiCon — Stillwater’s own Local Comic Con featuring artists from across Oklahoma — will start Saturday. Lexicon kicks off with a concert featuring popular soundtracks from different shows and movies and continues with various game competitions, art projects and community building.
The theatre department brings some student entertainment. The OSU Department of Theatre performed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in early October, but if you missed it the next show in their 2025-26 season is “Urinetown,” a Tony-Award winning musical about a revolution in a town with not enough water for everyone to have it for free. It’s a satirical musical about revolution and rooting for the underdogs.
Late night pancakes is another iconic event you can’t miss. The first two nights of Pre-finals week may involve stress over tests and finalizing projects, but it also comes with free pancakes in the Student Union, giving you an opportunity to take a break and have breakfast for dinner with friends before the chaos of the last week-and-a-half of this semester.
