With new student media outlets popping up on UT's campus often these days, it can be tough to keep up. Check out this list of sources for UT-elxclusive news and stay in the know.

1) The Daily Texan: The oldest source of news at UT is its 115-year-old student newspaper, which can be found in print and online at DailyTexanonline.com.

2) The Horn: The Horn emerged roughly four years ago as another student newspaper at UT. It has quickly gained traction and can be found online at readthehorn.com.

3) KVR News: UT's student-run television station, better known as TSTV, features several news shows, with KVR digging hardest into the news affecting the UT community. You can catch it on TV in the dorms Monday nights at 9 p.m. and via livestream during that time at http://www.texasstudenttv.com/show/kvr-news. KVR also posts its weekly news casts on Youtube and its Twitter feed is a reliable source for up-to-date coverage of what's happening with UT.

4) Good Morning Texas (GMTX): Focusing on the lighter side of news, TSTV's GMTX program brings feature news content to campus Wednesdays at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. It can be viewed on TV from the dorms and a livestream can be caught here: http://www.texasstudenttv.com/show/good-morning-texas. GMTX also posts its news casts to Youtube.

5) The Odyssey: If you're reading this, you no doubt know about UT's only news source exclusively focusing on Greek life. Up-to-date coverage for Greek life on the Texas campus can be found at www.theOdysseyOnline.com/Texas and the The Odyssey can be found in print each Wednesday at area Greek houses.

6) ORANGE Magazine: Starting just a few years ago, ORANGE Magazine has quickly established itself as a staple to the UT student news scene, bringing feature content that highlights some of the many cool efforts happening on the 40 Acres and around Austin. Its content can be found online at www.orangemagazine.co. The magazine also normally puts out one PDF issue each semester, a throwback to the semester-long class that it sprang out of that would publish one print issue each term.

With all these sources for UT news at your fingertips, there should be no excuse not to be caught up on the latest at UT. And with how quickly some of the news sources are growing and emerging, you might want to be on the lookout for the next great UT student news source.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
