With a population at almost 400,000, Tulsa is a growing city in Oklahoma. There's not tons of things to do in Tulsa but with a little bit of laughter, friends, and family, Tulsa can be a fun city. Whether you've been to Tulsa for a visit or lived there for 20 years, there's a couple of signs you can tell if someone is from Tulsa.

1. We've all been to Rhema over the winter. You can't forget about the bridge that changes colors with those Christmas tunes.

2. Union vs. Jenks rivalry. Even though you're not from Union or Jenks, you still went to the games. Of course, GO UNION! No matter the weather, everyone went to the game.

3. We've all been to Big Splash, before it was turned into Safari Joe's H20 Water Park. The Silver Bullet that always left us a wedgie and you had to awkwardly pick it after you got up. You can never forget those.

4. Your first concert at BOK period. It's the best one and you can't stop going back for more concerts.

5. The Good Old Woodland Hills Mall. They used to have an Abercrombie kids on the first floor but now it's replaced by Altar'd State. You can't forget about the ridiculous lines at Starbucks.

6. Whataburger is where we go after football games. Whether it's 10pm or 3am, it's always open just for us.

7. You know it's 12pm on a Wednesday because of the tornado sirens.

8. Asking a friend with a big trunk or a truck to go to the Admiral Twin Drive-In.

9. That 71st traffic though. It'll take 20 minutes to go from Memorial to Garnett.

10. QUIKTRIP!!!! Nothing can replace the one and only QUIKTRIP.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
