12 Reasons Tutwiler Is Both The Best And Worst Dorm On Campus

Sweet, sweet Tutwiler, you will be missed next year... kinda. Here's why:

1. You could not avoid your best friends even if you tried

Most of the girls I know live in Tut. I can’t go to the bathroom without seeing someone I know. This is both a positive and a negative for multiple reasons. For example, I love when I see someone and we're both hungry. "Let’s go down to Julia’s together." "Ok great idea!" There you go, problem solved with minimal effort necessary. On the other hand, we all like to lay in our bed binge watching a Netflix series without being stopped only to be filled in on why jack from apple gamer pie is annoying. Not now Sarah, Clay just got to his tape.

2. It’s caught on fire like twice..? and no one even heard the fire alarm

I genuinely would have gone up in flames with the laundry room if my roommate hadn’t called me. The alarm is only in the stairwell, at least on floor 9. Please turn the volume up on those things

3. Tuscaloosa sunsets

This is one of the best parts of me and my roommates day. We always leave our curtains open for this specific reason. We even have cute window stickers that look like us as mermaids. The dollar section at target gets me every. Single. Time.

4. The wonderful and friendly elevators

First of all, if you take the elevator down from floor 3 I might hate you. I say might because if it’s the morning after I've gone out, I’ll be joining you. Also, why do they break down every day? I’m not a mechanic but I feel like that just shouldn’t be as much of an issue. If you’re a mechanic and know why this happens, please let me know in the comments below.

5. Julia’s (juju on that beat)

Blessing your day one Boar's Head sandwich at a time. Also, they just got a nacho machine, not sure how I feel about that but this must mean big things coming. Will update with my opinion on the nachos. May write a review.

6. The infamous Tut flu

You thought you had a good immune system. You thought. You will be sniffling and coughing by the end of week one. But don’t worry, you’ll feel better when you move out in May!

7. The location is prime

Tbh, I snuck out of two football games this year so I could go take a nap. Shoot me for not wanting to watch us absolutely kill one of those small schools in 95-degree heat. Luckily for me, it was just a short walk to my beloved bed.

8. The current parking situation

People thought it was bad last year. Wrong. Now we have to park in the deck or at the cemetery and that’s basically a death sentence (pun intended) if you’re trying to carry anything to or from the car.

9. The community showers

Personally, for me, this is a positive. Hear me out OK? At first, I hated them, but after showering Brumby Hall in Athens and Crosby Hall in Oxford, I have never said another bad thing about Tut showers. The pressures great, they stay relatively clean, and if you’re lucky, the girl next to you is playing some decent music.

10. No dogs allowed

Self-explanatory.

11. The Starbucks next door

Yea if you know me you know I love sleep more than anything so this one is a blessing. “Hey what are you doing?” “Sorry I was sleeping.” “It’s 2:30 p.m.” "Time to go to Starbucks."

12. The train

I consider myself to be a fairly heavy sleeper but the train off of 10th Street is the WOAT. Won’t miss that next year.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
