If you're a Houston Cougar, here are a few things we all know to be true.

1. Cougar Woods is a million times better than Moody.

2. The fountain will never be fixed.

But when they do put water in it, it is one of the most beautiful places on campus.

3. The Starbucks in the UC is always busy. No exceptions.

Come on people, I just want my nonfat latte.

4. Parking is a nightmare.

5. Fiesta is the best time of the year.

6. Campus is dead on the weekends.


7. The origin of the cougar hand sign.

In 1953, Shasta lost a toe in his cage door. When UT fans made fun of Shasta by lowering their ring finger, UH students adopted the hand sign to show their pride.

8. Where the food trucks will be on each day of the week.


9. Walking to Garrison CASA takes a little piece of your soul every time you go.


10. Living in Houston is tons of fun.

There is always something new and exciting to do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
