8 Things That People From Tulsa, Oklahoma Know All Too Well

Tulsa, Oklahoma is home to many things such as the Blue Dome district, a lively downtown area, the Philbrook Museum, and many more. However, I've not begun to tell you guys about the most prominent parts of Tulsa--the parts only true Tulsans know so well! The parts that are currently undergoing construction! Let's celebrate!

1. Highway 11, both NB/SB between 76th St/76th N St and 86th St.

Yay

2. Broken Arrow Expressway EB before East 15th Street to South Lewis Avenue.

This has been reduced to one lane, because us Tulsans love to be in traffic for long periods of time! It's a party!

3. Broken Arrow Expressway WB after South Lewis Avenue

This highway was closed EB, but we wouldn't want to leave WB out, right? Good thinking, Tulsa!

4. E 21st St, both EB/WB between S Peoria Ave and South Lewis Avenue.

Awesome!

5. E 31st St, both EB/WB at South Harvard Avenue.

ABORT. ABORT. I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION.

6. E 46th St N, both EB/WB east of US 169.

Hooray!

7. E 61st St, both EB/WB between South 76th E Avenue and South Memorial Dr.

Hip hip

8. E 81st St, both EB/WB between Riverside Dr/Riverside Pkwy and S Lewis Ave.

I love the idea of completely shutting down one of the most used streets in all of Tulsa. That's a grand plan!

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.
