Samantha Mahan
McAlester, Oklahoma

Major at OSU:
Advertising/Public Relations

Why you chose to attend OSU:
I have wanted to go to college at OSU all of my life, and I couldn’t imagine myself being anywhere else.

Why you chose to cheer/pom/pete at OSU:
OSU POM was the only decision for me. Being apart of this school and this squad has been my entire goal and dream. This squad has so many amazing qualities that bring out the best in all of its members. OSU POM is all I have ever wanted.

Favorite memory with the Spirit Group:
Picking one favorite memory is completely impossible, so I’m going to give you four of my favorite memories.J One of my favorites was the very first football game I ever danced at. I thought I was going to cry when all of the fans stood up for pre-game, it was truly a rockin moment. Another would be the entire San Diego trip for the bowl game this past year with all the spirit squad. The fireworks and field sized flag at the game was overwhelming. Beating OU in Oklahoma City at Big XII was probably the most exciting and worthwhile moment I was able to be apart of, and of course last but not least would be our annual spirit squad ski trip. There were so many laughs on that one trip to last a lifetime, and I will remember everything about it for forever.

Favorite hobby outside of OSU Spirit:
I love to craft! , I love to read, being apart of my awesome sorority, and after that there’s just not that much time left for anything else.

The person that has influenced you most and why:
There are two amazing people that have influenced me the most in my life and those people are of course my mom and dad. They have done everything in their power to make sure all of my dreams come true. They are always there for me and are my biggest fans. Without them I wouldn’t be apart of anything that I am in my life right now. They are my rocks and always will be. :-)

What 3 words describe you best:
Sassy, passionate, and reliable.

What mark would you like to leave with OSU/OSU Spirit when you graduate?:
The legacy that we already are and will become. Friendships that will last a lifetime and a dream that will come true for other very special, talented, and lucky young girls.

Your favorite quote:
Life….
It may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we might as well dance!
