You Know You're An Auburn Student When...

Whether you've just started your freshman year, you're about to graduate, or you're the golden alum, there are certain qualities that make us Auburn students so special. From traditions we love to mistakes we've all made, these are the telltale signs that you truly know what it's like to go to Auburn University.

You know you're an Auburn student when...

1. You never miss a football game.

Fall weekends are for tailgates and Tiger’s football.

2. You always yell “War Eagle.”

New friends, old friends, strangers, celebrations, War Eagle!

3. You love to throw toilet paper all over your trees.

It’s our tradition, and we love it.

4. 90 percent of your closet is blue and orange.

For game day and any day in between!

5. You walk several miles between classes.

At least it seems like miles, but hey, at least the view is nice.

6. You have countless pictures with Aubie.

Because who wouldn’t want to document when they get to see their favorite mascot?

7. You claim that “God’s an Auburn fan” every time there’s a blue and orange sunset.

God made His favorite place on Earth the most beautiful place on Earth, duh.

8. You sing or hum along to the fight song when the Samford clock plays it at noon.

War Eagle, fly down the field….

9. You use Toomer’s lemonade to both celebrate and cope with the ending of a semester.

Nothing beats that ice-cold, fresh lemonade.

10. All of your favorite pictures have two backgrounds: Jordan-Hare Stadium and Samford Lawn.

The most classic Auburn locations just happen to be the prettiest.

11. You’ve spent many long, delirious nights in RBD library.

All-nighters are not as fun as they sound, folks.

12. You’ve explained over and over again why you say “War Eagle” when your mascot is a tiger.

It’s a great story, we promise.

13. You use all your TigerCard money way before the semester is over.

But Wellness Kitchen is so good….

14. You have a heart attack (or several) when you watch your football team play.

Why can’t we just win without any major scares???

15. You wear shorts to class one day and three sweatshirts the next.

Seriously, do we ever know what season it is in Auburn?

16. You avoid the concourse by all means necessary.

No, I don’t want to go to your event, but sure, I’ll take your pamphlet and throw it away when you aren’t looking.

17. The weather app says its currently sunny, but you’re walking through a hurricane.

Auburn weather is the biggest struggle you’ve ever faced.

18. You get lost in Haley Center every semester.

Is it quadrant, floor, room? Floor, quadrant, room??? No one knows!!

19. You get excited to see white tents in the fall.

Game day is approaching, baby.

20. You’ve accumulated an insane amount of blue and orange shakers.

And they’ve taken over your apartment.

21. You pass construction no matter where you’re going.

You can’t even tell what they’re fixing now.

22. You’ve had to deal with Parking Service’s shenanigans.

The day I figure out where you can park in Auburn is the day I figure out life.

23. You hate Alabama more than anyone and anything else.

Enough said.

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.
