A Love Letter To My Favorite Bar

Every hour is happy hour when I spend it with you.

Dear Stal,

Wow. Where do I even begin? It's been quite the four (I mean, two...) years together. To be honest, you've been the steadiest relationship I've had since coming to OU. I've spent my worst days turned into the happiest of nights because of you. From our Top Bar Tuesday's all the way down to our Sunday Funday's, we've truly been through it all. Even when we aren't together, I'm sitting at Alden thinking about the next time I'll get to see you.

I guess I owe some of our relationship to your bartenders. We've spent an equal amount of time getting to know each other too. You bartenders have watched me grow from a drunk, naive underage attendee to a slightly more mature, but still equally drunk, loyal regular. I appreciate you more than I may act like it, as you're the sole reason for how turnt I get throughout the night. The biggest grin appears on my face whenever I see you pour just a little bit more alcohol in my cup than the girl you served before me. Don't think that goes unnoticed. Y'all are the real MVPs.

Like any relationship though, we've had our ups and downs. I didn't think I would ever forgive you after you knocked down my sitting ledge near the bathrooms. But then what did you do? You gave me a better sitting ledge across the bathrooms and installed TouchTunes in the old spot. I have to admit that I haven't been perfect in this relationship, either. Although I can't remember a lot of what I've done, I'm sure I have some apologizing to do. Just know that by the time my hangover is done, I didn't mean any of the insulting things I said.

Maybe I'm getting a little sappy since the g-word is less than a week away, but I'm so lucky that I've had a place to celebrate my achievements and help me through the not-so-great times. I can't believe that I'm going to be moving to a new city and find a new bar to become a regular at. No bar will ever replace you and I'll miss everything about you (even the sticky floors). Cheers to you, Crystal. You've made college a little more bearable and a lot more fun.

All my love,

A graduating senior

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
