15 Signs That You Go To The University Of Tulsa

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
