A true red-ass can be recognized, even from a great distance, by the presence of a 12th Man towel. Mostly known for being waved at Fightin' Texas Aggie football games, these blessed terrycloth rectangles can be used for so much more. Here are a few alternate uses.

1. Location signaler

On the look for another of your red-ass friends? Wave that towel around and they'll see you for sure.

2. Sweat collector

No matter if you're at a game or just walking around campus, your 12th Man towel can be used to wipe sweat from your face and try to keep cool.

3. Sun shade

If your "random" tickets for a game at Kyle Field ensure that you're in the sun all day long, flop your 12th Man towel over your face to block out some sun.

4. Pocket accessory

Take your "red ass-ness" to the next level by adding a 12th Man towel to the pocket of your jeans/skirt/shorts and look like a true fan. Gig 'em.


5. Fan

Wow, it's so hot on the 3rd deck at this eleven o'clock game. Let me just fan myself real quick with my handy dandy 12th Man towel.

6. Makeup remover

Take that foundation right off with a quick swipe of your 12th Man towel.

7. Washcloth/Hand towel

Wanna "Gig 'em" all year long? Keep some 12th Man towels in your guest bathroom for guests to use.

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.

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.
