Tulsa race demographics imply increasing diversity
TU Professor Dr. Travis Lowe offers insight into Tulsa’s 2020 census data and critiques common conceptions of race. Following the release of the 2020 census’ results, news articles emblazoned claims of dramatic shifting demographics. The phrase “majority-minority” and “less than 50 percent white” filled numerous headlines, hoping to draw eager and curious readers. However, these […]
With finals coming, bake a cake this week
The fourteen straight weeks of class have left their mark, but we should take a moment to rest before finishing strong, hopefully. With bowls and measuring cups splayed across my countertop, I vigorously beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale. I hummed “Hear in My Arms” by Leon Bridges as I tipped leveled cups […]
SA takes themselves very seriously
The University of Tulsa’s Student Association spends more time making problems than fixing them, leading to petty internal debates. We have a contentious election upon us. Alert the media! Send out your journalists! Did you know the University of Tulsa was so distraught with electoral conflict? Me neither. Every time I look at my semester […]
Where to eat in Tulsa anytime of day
Here’s a (nonexhaustive) list of great eats in Tulsa. Of all my favorite things in Tulsa, the food definitely sits towards the top of that list. My biggest selling point when telling people to visit me is the food. A fantastic meal on the weekend is one of my best motivations to get through the […]

I am a sucker for all things light, fluffy and sweet, especially when it’s all neatly packaged in a dreamy one-and-a-half hour movie, complete with adorable moments and beautiful characters. I really enjoyed the first two movies in the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved” trilogy: the first for its glossy, […]
A love letter to nostalgia
Earlier this week, I found myself swept up in the gentle wave of nostalgia. I wanted to watch the beloved movies of my younger years, eat Pizza Rolls and Gushers and spend time reminiscing on warm memories of my childhood with friends. I think “nostalgia” has a bad reputation for pulling people too far into […]
The ever dazzling “Bridgerton”
There is much to say, much to love and much to raise your brows when we’re talking Netflix’s “Bridgerton.” You may not need an introduction to this show; it seems to have taken the online world by storm. Nevertheless, I might as well give you one. As the first show emerging from Shonda Rhimes’s mega-deal […]
Stress-relieving study breaks
You would think that after months of endless, ever-present stress in quarantine, that we’d learn how to better handle stressful moments. Yet despite having survived 2020 so far, I still find myself thinking that an upcoming essay deadline is the grave, impending doom lurking in the distance. In those moments, these school stressors seem to […]
Cozy autumn movies for everyone to see
When I think of fall, I think of morning walks with the crisp, autumn air and the crunch of leaves under heavy, worn-in boots. I think of chai lattes and muffins fresh from the oven, their sweet warmth permeating the kitchen. I think of slow mornings and rainy days curled up in a blanket with […]
