6 Things Only TCU Upperclassman Will Understand

TCU and the surrounding area is always changing. As upperclassman, we have experienced a lot of things the younger students will never be able to.

1. Karaoke Thursdays at Cellar

Cellar was one of the best bars around TCU. Every Thursday you could expect a line out the door because students couldn't get enough of Karaoke night. The indoor/outdoor bar was great for any time of year. The bar tragically and suddenly closed, leaving TCU students mourning. The worst part of it all is where the building used to stand is now just a planter.

2. Spending countless nights of freshman year at Lab

The Science Lab, or Lab for short, was the go to bar for freshman back in the day. It was close and convenient. The bar lacked class to say the least, but we all have some great memories or regrets of nights spent at Lab.

3. Our incredible 2014 football season

We broke into the Top 10 for multiple weeks, ended the season with a 12-1 record, and destroyed Ole Miss in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. We were underestimated at the beginning of the season and proved a lot of people wrong. I can't forget to mention the incredible win against Oklahoma, who was ranked 4 and we were ranked 25, and storming the field with the rest of the TCU student body.

4. Having the Greek not under construction

With the new Greek houses being built, the Greek seems like it has been under construction forever. We remember the days that you used to be able to park there and easily walk to any house without blockades or fences.

5. Polliwogs from Bottom

The Polliwog is the drink that Bottom is known for. The contents of the delicious, slushy drink may never be revealed, but that didn't stop it from being a crowd favorite.

6. Wednesday night bowling

Students used to head over to City View Lanes on Wednesday nights for the $1 beer and good times bowling. Some people came to bowl, while some people just came to socialize. Some weeks it was so packed with TCU students that you couldn't even get a lane. I don't know why this trend died, but we should definitely bring it back.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
