35 Things You Won't Understand If You're Not From Tuscaloosa
Carmen Sisson

1. Two words: road contruction

2. Like...everywhere

3. Is there really anywhere you CAN drive and not run into construction?

4. But it's okay because the new roads are awesome.

5. It seems like there's a new building or business every other day

6. It's great because we love local businesses

7. And we love all of the new restaurants

8. Speaking of food, T-town has some amazing food

9. Like Midnight Sushi at Surin

10. And Rock N Roll Sushi

11. And Cookout

12. And Taco Mama

13. And City Cafe

14. But we can't talk about food in T-town without talking about...

15. TACO CASA

16. If you're not from Tuscaloosa, you won't get why we're obsessed with Taco Casa

17. It's almost as great as football

18. Speaking of football...

19. Saturdays are reserved for tailgating and football parties

20. And your football attire rivals your church attire

21. No matter how long you've lived in T-town, you probably don't know your way around all of UA's campus

22. But you wish you did because there are so many cool things to see on campus

23. You also drive so carefully on campus because there are pedestrians EVERYWHERE

24. There's a lot of cool stuff to see around town

25. Like the Spillway

26. And Bryant-Denny

27. And the Riverwalk

28. And the Arboretum

29. And Lake Tuscaloosa

30. And Old Bryce

31. That is if you're cool enough to know where Old Bryce is

32. If you weren't directly affected by the April 27 tornado, you know a lot of people who were

33. And you know that while the tornado ripped the town apart, it brought the people of Tuscaloosa together

34. And last but not least

35. No matter where you go, Tuscaloosa is home

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.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

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.
