Amon G. Carter - our football stadium and a dorm are both named after him.

BLUU - no, we didn't spell "blue" wrong. It's an acronym for the Brown Lupton University Union. Calling it our "student union" is just too basic.

Chick-fil-A - it's our only outside chain restaurant on campus, meaning that we hate Sundays.

Disasters and Failures - it's the easiest natural science credit course, meaning that these intro classes fill up with seniors during the first week of class registration.

Erma Lowe Hall - this academic building is a mystery to everyone except for the dance majors. Therefore, could we start a petition to rename it Erma Drop It Lowe Hall?

Frog Camp - it's kind of an introduction to TCU campus life. This is where freshmen hope to make some new friends.

Gary Patterson - our football coach that we support whether our record is 12-1, 6-6, 4-8, or even 0-12. He even sings and plays guitar, too.

Horned Frogs - our mascot. We're the only school that utilizes this lizard that squirts blood from its eyes when threatened.

IT - this is Information Technology, the ones responsible for StuWireless on campus. StuWireless was more like Stupid Wireless for a while, but is starting to become better. Therefore, it has earned its intended name of Student Wireless.

Jim Schlossnagle - our baseball coach. He likes apples and the College World Series (we've been there three years in a row).

King Family Commons - this is a gathering place for Worth Hills residents. It may be called the King Family Commons now, but it was unofficially called BLUU 2 for almost 2 years. Therefore, TCU students see it as BLUU 2.

Liberty Bowl - this is the football bowl game for us this year. It is on December 30th in Memphis, Tennessee. Let's beat the Georgia Bulldogs!

Moudy - these are two buildings on campus that look nothing like the other academic buildings. Moudy North is home to the art department, while Moudy South is home to the communication school.

Neeley - this is the business school where some businessman dreams have died thanks to Excel tests.

Orientation - like Frog Camp, it's an introduction, but it's an introduction to academics.

Parking - there's never enough, even though TCU finally built two parking garages.

Questions - students have many of these. Where is a certain building? Why do professors grade so harshly? What will my GPA be? Why aren't there more words that start with "q"?

Rec Center - this is where students go to avoid the freshman 15.

Sid Rich - this is where some pre-med dreams have died.

Tucker - this is where some engineering dreams have died.

University Drive - the road that consists of TCU's official address. It is also where students almost get hit by cars daily because they jaywalk.

Victor Boschini - our chancellor. He also teaches an education class.

Writing Major - this is the only major I included because it is mine. I'm a little biased.

Xerox - we have these supplies on campus. I learned this while trying to find terms that started with an "x."

Y'all - our catchphrase. We're a southern school; it's not "you all" or "you guys."

Zoo - our neighbor. Fort Worth has one of the best zoos in the whole country.

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.

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.
