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.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
