The most exciting week of the year!

Homecoming and Tiger Tunes make this time of year so exciting for Ouachita Baptist University!

Tiger Tunes is something that almost all students on campus are involved in, and it takes weeks and weeks to perfect the show. In 2015, Tiger Tunes was live-streamed in 52 different countries and 6 continents. With a student population of only 1,500, the turnout is amazing. There are five shows throughout the week: a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, one each night on Thursday and Friday, and two Saturday night after the homecoming game.

Social clubs put on themed performances each year. This year's themes are even better than last year.

Betas: Astronauts

Campus Ministries: Stars

Chi Delta: Make It Rain

Chi Mu: Clocks

EEE: Toy Soldiers

Eta Alpha: Olympics

Kappa Chi: Express

Student Life: Super Store

Tri Chi: Tumbleweeds

OBU Band: Space

For those who aren't familiar with Tunes, the clubs make mini-musicals, basically, and awards are given out at the end of each show for Best Costumes, Best Choreography, Best Overall Entertainment, etc. Tunes is really magical, and anyone who is slightly interested should come see, or at least watch online via live stream before they judge Tunes.

Anyone who participated in Tiger Tunes should be patted on the back and given a hug - hours and hours of work were put into this show. Late night practices, battling colds and stomach bugs, and falling behind on homework are only some of the sacrifices these students made to perfect their show. This show means so much to the students, faculty and staff, community, parents, and viewers.

This year, Tiger Tunes attracted many notable alumni, such as Candace Payne (Chewbacca Mom, class of 2002 alumna) and Barrett Baber (Finalist in Season 9 of NBC's The Voice, class of 2001 alum.)

Congratulations to all the winners this year - and join Ouachita next year for, arguably, the most exciting week of the year!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
