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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
