You Know If You're A Tech Student If...

Every university has its own unique things that nobody but it's students can relate to or understand. I'm willing to bet that Texas Tech has the best list around, but maybe I'm biased. Anyway, if you're a Red Raider like me, maybe you can relate to some of these situations!

1. The summer is like slowly baking in an oven but then four months later it's like the North Pole.

2. You're not unfamiliar with getting dirt in your mouth because the wind is so strong.

3. If you're not obsessed with Market Street, you're wrong.

4. Everyone knows about the Republic, even if you don't live there.

5. You've been to Spanky's at least once.

6. You get the urge to yell "RAIDER" at anyone wearing Texas Tech gear even if you're home for the summer, and you fully expect a "POWER" back.

7. "We will Hit 'Em, We Will Wreck 'Em, We Will Wreck 'Em Texas Tech" is how the song goes, but not necessarily how anyone sings it at the games.

8. You know who Brother Jeb is

9. Everyone has a picture with the Texas Tech Seal at the front of campus.

10. Everyone seems kinda concerned about the pigeons on campus.

11. You've been personally affected by Humans v. Zombies.

12. The stairs in the MCOM building. That is all.

13. The two for $8 movie deal at the drive-in saves your life and bank account.

14. The dogs you can pet at the library during finals week also saves your life.

15. If you've never been to J&B for a caffeine fueled study binge, you're doing college wrong.

16. Having all your Facebook friends think you're obsessed with J&B Coffee because you always check in there, but really you just need the free WIFI.

17. The WIFI on campus in general is just a hit or miss (usually a miss).

18. Everyone said you wouldn't like Lubbock before you came, but you're actually kind of in love with it.

19. The people in Lubbock are so nice. Like so nice.

20. You've thought about purchasing a kayak so you can get to class when the roads flood.

21. The day the Chick-Fil-A on campus serves Chicken Minis is the day you start living.

Blessed to be a Red Raider!!! Wreck 'Em Tech!

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.
