15 Signs That You Go To The University Of Tulsa
howell&vancuren

The University of Tulsa is home to about 4,000 students. Every day, we walk to class surrounded by genetically cloned trees and think about how we wish that Chick-fil-A was open for breakfast on campus. Despite the that issue, TU students are proud Golden Hurricanes. Here are some signs that you go to this awesome school.

1. You know to avoid ACAC around noon.

And the Benvenuto line? So. Dang. Long.

2. You also know that it's not technically ACAC anymore, but you refuse to call it ACSU.

3. You know that PE doesn't stand for gym class anymore.

4. You know that there's no prettier view than a Tulsa sunset behind the skyline.

5. You know the adorable/somewhat creepy love story between Lottie Jane and John Mabee.

"Nothing can be built between the two halls...so they can eternally stare into each other's eyes..."

6. You've had to explain what a Golden Hurricane is to outsiders hundreds of times.

It's a dust storm. I don't know why it's our mascot.

7. You understand the fact that TU is the University of Tulsa, not Tulsa University.

8. You realize that Goldie is probably the biggest celebrity on campus.

You saw her and got a picture? #goals

9. And that Stead is a close second.

10. You have a love/hate relationship with the caf.

But Saturday and Sunday brunch will never disappoint.

11. You have a strictly hate relationship with TU wifi.

12. You don't know why but when one printer is out at the library, they all are.

^^something like this.

13. You're happy about low gas prices but also understand the negative implications for many of your friends who plan to work in the oil industry.

14. You own a hurricane flag even though you live in landlocked Oklahoma.

Just like this guy's.

15. You either lived through or heard horror stories about the cricket invasion in 2013.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
