12 Non-Political, OSU Related Conversations To Have During Family Christmas Gatherings
Cath Nowak


Christmas is a special time where family and friends get together and share the love. It’s a time where family members catch up on what has happened to them all year (and maybe even a little gossip) but it is also a time where hot topics *cough cough the presidential election cough cough* can come up, that isn’t good for anyone who have different opinions. So instead of potentially starting family fights and causing madness during this peaceful time, here are some other family-friendly, OSU topics to stick on.

1. “So ______, how’s college?”

2. “Have you been to the OSU basketball games yet this year?”

3. How ‘bout that Brad Underwood? Great guy!”

4. “Let me tell you about the history of Pistol Pete!”

5. “So they opened up yet ANOTHER fast food place in Stillwater!”

6. “The new Wal-Mart on Perkins has a pickup option now.”

7. “You going to the Alamo-Bowl?”

8. “We may have not won bedlam, but we beat OU in wrestling!”

9. “Did you know Mike Gundy’s is the greatest thing about OSU?

10. “When do you graduate already?

11. “Are you ready for next football season with the cardiac-cowboys?”

12. “OSU is the best school in Oklahoma, and here’s why…”

If you live in a house divided, I would be cautious, but also take a jab every once in a while. Happy Holidays, and have Happy, un-awkward conversations! Go Pokes!

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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.
