With a population at almost 400,000, Tulsa is a growing city in Oklahoma. There's not tons of things to do in Tulsa but with a little bit of laughter, friends, and family, Tulsa can be a fun city. Whether you've been to Tulsa for a visit or lived there for 20 years, there's a couple of signs you can tell if someone is from Tulsa.

1. We've all been to Rhema over the winter. You can't forget about the bridge that changes colors with those Christmas tunes.

2. Union vs. Jenks rivalry. Even though you're not from Union or Jenks, you still went to the games. Of course, GO UNION! No matter the weather, everyone went to the game.

3. We've all been to Big Splash, before it was turned into Safari Joe's H20 Water Park. The Silver Bullet that always left us a wedgie and you had to awkwardly pick it after you got up. You can never forget those.

4. Your first concert at BOK period. It's the best one and you can't stop going back for more concerts.

5. The Good Old Woodland Hills Mall. They used to have an Abercrombie kids on the first floor but now it's replaced by Altar'd State. You can't forget about the ridiculous lines at Starbucks.

6. Whataburger is where we go after football games. Whether it's 10pm or 3am, it's always open just for us.

7. You know it's 12pm on a Wednesday because of the tornado sirens.

8. Asking a friend with a big trunk or a truck to go to the Admiral Twin Drive-In.

9. That 71st traffic though. It'll take 20 minutes to go from Memorial to Garnett.

10. QUIKTRIP!!!! Nothing can replace the one and only QUIKTRIP.

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.
