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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
