My name is Paige Phillips, Im 21 and I am currently a senior here at OU. Im from Tulsa, Oklahoma and I always knew that I wanted to come to OU. I am the youngest of two brothers and I have two amazing parents. I also have a wiener dog named oscar, he is the best dog ever if I do say so myself. My major is criminology with a minor in social justice, I plan on going to law school this next Fall. I love my major and one day I hope to be a prosecutor for the child crisis unit. This past summer I had an internship with a law firm and I absolutely loved it, I am extremely exited for my future career. I am a member of Delta Delta Delta and have made some amazing friends through the greek experience. In my spare time I like to hangout with my friends and occasionally go see movies. In the future I would also like to travel to Greece, it is on my bucket list to go there some day. I think Greece is one of the most beautiful countries. Another fact about me is that I love Chinese food, it has always been my favorite food. Im really looking forward to my senior year and all that it will entail and I know I will be learning a lot. I am a huge football fan so the fall semester is definitely my favorite. Those are just a couple things about me.

Oh, your Oscar is a cutie: maybe he will make an appearance in a story that you tell for class! And congratulations on your law firm internship and your law school plans. If you are interested in looking at the theme of Dharma in this class, that would be a great way to make an India connection. It's hard to even find an exact English translation for Dharma, but "Law" is one way it can be understood: more about Dharma at Wikipedia ... and of course the whole idea of laws and lawgivers, crimes and punishments, is a huge topic in the mythology and folklore of the world, so I'm sure you can find legal themes to explore in both classes if you want! (And of course lots of dog stories from around the world in Myth-Folklore too!)
ReplyDeleteHi Paige!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, your dog is so cute. It was nice to read your introduction and getting to know you. I'm glad that your internship went well over the summer, and I wish you good luck on your future career in law. Also, Greece is on my bucket list too! I think its such a beautiful place that everyone should go visit if given the opportunity. I'm too am a senior at OU so I hope this year goes well for you!
Hi Paige,
ReplyDeleteAwesome introduction! It’s good to see another Tulsa area native. I am from Miami, which is about an hour northeast of Tulsa. I am also a big football fan, so hopefully we have a great season. Your dog is adorable. Best of luck this semester and hopefully law school and your future career plans work out for you!

Hello Paige,
ReplyDeleteIt is exciting to see that you are a senior! I am also a senior, so I understand the excitement of wanting to finish and to move on with the next chapter of your life. I think that it is great that you want to go to law school! I wish you the best of luck with your future! Also, have a great semester! And keep up the hard work!
Hi, Paige!
ReplyDeleteOscar is so cute! I always wanted a wiener dog when I was younger. I'm actually in a Criminology course this semester and it's really interesting. It's like learning about a whole different world. Your internship sounded really cool and it's nice to see how passionate you are about your future career. Greece seems like a dream. It's so beautiful. Good luck with your senior year!
Hey Paige!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your introduction! I also have two brothers, but sadly I am the middle. It is very cool that you want to be a prosecutor for the child crisis unit, what made you choose that direction in law? Chinese food is definitely towards to top of my favorites list as well. Have a great semester and good luck with law school!
Hi Paige! Wow, I was interesting in Criminology for a while before I found my true calling was English, so I think its cool that you're going to stick with it. Your legal specialization sounds like it will be a worth-while and rewarding career, so I hope that you continue to enjoy it. Good luck with Law School!
ReplyDeleteHey Paige, Criminology seems like a really cool major. One of my teammates is majoring in that as well. Going to law school should really help especially since you want to be a prosecutor. It is something that I admire that you want to do that. it is something that I do not have in me, but we need people to be able to do that. Good luck with Law School
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! First off, your dog is so adorable and I love the name! I have a tiny pup named Bruno myself! Your major is also pretty interesting. I love that your focus is on prosecuting in the child crisis unit. I also love Chinese food! I do not understand how people don't like it. Anyways, good luck on law school and your career!
ReplyDeleteHey Paige! It is awesome that you knew that you wanted to go to OU all along. It is cool that you are majoring in criminology and are planned to go to law school next fall! I am also a senior and am also planned to go to medical school next fall too. I hope everything goes well and I wish you the very best for your future!
ReplyDeleteHey Paige! I love that you added a picture of your dog! I know how important my dogs are to me so it is great to see other people caring for their pets as well. I am in Greek life at OU too and it is amazing to have so many opportunities that we really wouldn't have had otherwise, so it is great to see another Panhellenic woman thriving. Thanks for sharing a part of who you are with us, and have a great rest of the semester!
ReplyDeleteHey Paige! I think it's awesome that you are going to go to law school and that you already know what law you want to practice! I also want to go to OU law and will probably do more contract/real estate law than anything else. I also am a huge fan of Sooners football! Glad to know there's another future law student in class! I look forward to reading your stories throughout the semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! That picture of your dog is adorable! Oscar is so precious! I'm totally with you on the Chinese food, and Greece sounds like an incredible place to visit- it's so gorgeous! I'm also a big Sooner football fan (it's practically a prerequisite to play in the band lol), and though today is dark day for the rivalry, I have high hopes for the rest of the season (fingers crossed!). Congrats on your senior year and the summer's internship, and best of luck with classes, exams, and law school in your future. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! I like your dog Oscar. He’s so cute! I think being a prosecutor can be a tough job, but I think it’s also meaningful. That’s amazing that you had an internship at a law firm, and I guess that must have been a unique experience. I haven’t been to Greece either, but I’ve seen photos and they look amazing! We should travel there one day. I agree with you: Chinese food is super tasty! It’s nice to meet you Paige!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! I just want to tell you firstly that your dog is so cute! I think it's amazing that you want to be a lawyer. I've always found that profession so interesting ever since I watched the TV show Suits. Have you ever watched it? It's an awesome show. Also, I love your major! I had a sociology-criminology minor but it was not going to work out because of some class timing issues but I know how interesting the classes are so I'm happy for you! Did you take Criminology with Dr. Hill? He was my favorite! Anyway, hope you have a great rest of the semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige, criminology sounds super interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed your internship; enjoying your work experience is very important. Also, you dog is freakin' adorable, especially with the bow. Nice touch. Props on pursuing law school! My cousin is a lawyer, and they really enjoy the work they do everyday. They have been able to help a lot of people with that career. A prosecutor for a child crisis unit could do so much good it sounds like. Anyway, I hope you having a good semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! I love the picture of your dog! I think its so cool that you want to be a prosecutor for a child crisis unit. I'm not sure what exactly that entails, but it sounds awesome! Glad to see you've got good goals and a plan set in place for your life. Good luck in law school and good luck finishing your last undergrad year at OU.
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! Your dog is adorable and I love the name Oscar for a dog! I plan on visiting Greece this summer. I also think it is a beautiful country. (Partially due to Mama Mia) I also want to go to Italy this summer. great to meet you and happy thanksgiving! I wish you a great ending to the semester!
ReplyDeleteHey Paige, I am also a senior right now. I don’t know about you but the fact that we are halfway through our last year has really been hitting me lately. I’ve also always wanted to travel to Greece. I bet it is a gorgeous country and there are so many pieces of history there. Hopefully we’ll both get to go someday!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! It was fun to read about your passion for law. What got you interested? It's good to know that people like you will be looking out for the rest of us in the near future. We need good people in Law. I hope that the rest of your year treats you well and that the transition into law school goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige,
ReplyDeleteI hope that your semester has gone well and that you're still on track to be able to go to law school next fall. I think want to work for a child crisis unit is a really admirable career goal, and I hope you're very successful with that. Good luck on your finals!
