35 Things You Won't Understand If You're Not From Tuscaloosa
Carmen Sisson

1. Two words: road contruction

2. Like...everywhere

3. Is there really anywhere you CAN drive and not run into construction?

4. But it's okay because the new roads are awesome.

5. It seems like there's a new building or business every other day

6. It's great because we love local businesses

7. And we love all of the new restaurants

8. Speaking of food, T-town has some amazing food

9. Like Midnight Sushi at Surin

10. And Rock N Roll Sushi

11. And Cookout

12. And Taco Mama

13. And City Cafe

14. But we can't talk about food in T-town without talking about...

15. TACO CASA

16. If you're not from Tuscaloosa, you won't get why we're obsessed with Taco Casa

17. It's almost as great as football

18. Speaking of football...

19. Saturdays are reserved for tailgating and football parties

20. And your football attire rivals your church attire

21. No matter how long you've lived in T-town, you probably don't know your way around all of UA's campus

22. But you wish you did because there are so many cool things to see on campus

23. You also drive so carefully on campus because there are pedestrians EVERYWHERE

24. There's a lot of cool stuff to see around town

25. Like the Spillway

26. And Bryant-Denny

27. And the Riverwalk

28. And the Arboretum

29. And Lake Tuscaloosa

30. And Old Bryce

31. That is if you're cool enough to know where Old Bryce is

32. If you weren't directly affected by the April 27 tornado, you know a lot of people who were

33. And you know that while the tornado ripped the town apart, it brought the people of Tuscaloosa together

34. And last but not least

35. No matter where you go, Tuscaloosa is home

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
