15 Signs That You Go To The University Of Tulsa

The University of Tulsa is home to about 4,000 students. Every day, we walk to class surrounded by genetically cloned trees and think about how we wish that Chick-fil-A was open for breakfast on campus. Despite the that issue, TU students are proud Golden Hurricanes. Here are some signs that you go to this awesome school.

1. You know to avoid ACAC around noon.

And the Benvenuto line? So. Dang. Long.

2. You also know that it's not technically ACAC anymore, but you refuse to call it ACSU.

3. You know that PE doesn't stand for gym class anymore.

4. You know that there's no prettier view than a Tulsa sunset behind the skyline.

5. You know the adorable/somewhat creepy love story between Lottie Jane and John Mabee.

"Nothing can be built between the two halls...so they can eternally stare into each other's eyes..."

6. You've had to explain what a Golden Hurricane is to outsiders hundreds of times.

It's a dust storm. I don't know why it's our mascot.

7. You understand the fact that TU is the University of Tulsa, not Tulsa University.

8. You realize that Goldie is probably the biggest celebrity on campus.

You saw her and got a picture? #goals

9. And that Stead is a close second.

10. You have a love/hate relationship with the caf.

But Saturday and Sunday brunch will never disappoint.

11. You have a strictly hate relationship with TU wifi.

12. You don't know why but when one printer is out at the library, they all are.

^^something like this.

13. You're happy about low gas prices but also understand the negative implications for many of your friends who plan to work in the oil industry.

14. You own a hurricane flag even though you live in landlocked Oklahoma.

Just like this guy's.

15. You either lived through or heard horror stories about the cricket invasion in 2013.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
