Stay in the Know on the 40 Acres

With new student media outlets popping up on UT's campus often these days, it can be tough to keep up. Check out this list of sources for UT-elxclusive news and stay in the know. 

1) The Daily Texan: The oldest source of news at UT is its 115-year-old student newspaper, which can be found in print and online at DailyTexanonline.com. 

2) The Horn: The Horn emerged roughly four years ago as another student newspaper at UT. It has quickly gained traction and can be found online at readthehorn.com.

3) KVR News: UT's student-run television station, better known as TSTV, features several news shows, with KVR digging hardest into the news affecting the UT community. You can catch it on TV in the dorms Monday nights at 9 p.m. and via livestream during that time at http://www.texasstudenttv.com/show/kvr-news. KVR also posts its weekly news casts on Youtube and its Twitter feed is a reliable source for up-to-date coverage of what's happening with UT. 

4) Good Morning Texas (GMTX): Focusing on the lighter side of news, TSTV's GMTX program brings feature news content to campus Wednesdays at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. It can be viewed on TV from the dorms and a livestream can be caught here: http://www.texasstudenttv.com/show/good-morning-texas. GMTX also posts its news casts to Youtube. 

5) The Odyssey: If you're reading this, you no doubt know about UT's only news source exclusively focusing on Greek life. Up-to-date coverage for Greek life on the Texas campus can be found at www.theOdysseyOnline.com/Texas and the The Odyssey can be found in print each Wednesday at area Greek houses. 

6) ORANGE Magazine: Starting just a few years ago, ORANGE Magazine has quickly established itself as a staple to the UT student news scene, bringing feature content that highlights some of the many cool efforts happening on the 40 Acres and around Austin. Its content can be found online at www.orangemagazine.co. The magazine also normally puts out one PDF issue each semester, a throwback to the semester-long class that it sprang out of that would publish one print issue each term. 

With all these sources for UT news at your fingertips, there should be no excuse not to be caught up on the latest at UT. And with how quickly some of the news sources are growing and emerging, you might want to be on the lookout for the next great UT student news source.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
