10 Things All UT Dallas Students Know To Be True
UT Dallas

The culture at the University of Texas at Dallas is unlike anything you will find elsewhere. The campus is full of incredibly unique people with different passions that make the campus so diverse and special. Whether you live on campus or are a beloved Road Warrior commuting, each UT Dallas student has their own experience and these the ten things each of us know to be true:

1. Your all time favorite joke is telling people that UTD's football team is undefeated.

Undefeated since 1969, baby!

2. UTD's mascot is something from your nightmares.

Think you've seen that grin peeking out from your closet at night? It's probably just Temoc. His name is COMET spelled backwards, because our school is creative like that.

3. Trying to find a parking space has made you a better stalker.

Whether you're blessed to have a gold or green sticker, we're all in the battle together, so enjoy your thirty minutes of daily afternoon stalking.

4. You'll graduate with a record number of parking tickets.

You have no proof, but you know they're out to get you.

5. Oh you want some Panda Express for lunch? Enjoy your hour long wait.

Don't even think about cutting out of line to go to Subway or Chick-fil-a. It's not any better. If you want to skip the lines all together, just pop on over to Ben and Jerry's. According to childhood science, It's okay to have ice cream for lunch every day.

6. The campus has been under construction since your freshmen year.

"Oh we need new sidewalks? Let's shut down the entire north side of campus for eight months." Best idea we've had all year!

7. You've perfected the Whoosh and have used the mini-whoosh on appropriate occasions.

Got that cute girl's number? Mini-whoosh. Scored an A+ in Chem 1? Mini-Whoosh. It's the sound a comet would make if there was any sound in space. Obviously.

8. You've become an avid supporter of the chess team.

Did you know they can play chess blindfolded too? PROTECT YOUR BISHOP, GLENN!

9. Finals is almost like UTD's own special family holiday. Everyone is celebrating together in the library without any shoes on. It's fantastic.

Ah, the smell of McDermott in the wee hours of finals week. We here at UTD do not believe in deodorant or any kind of perfume... especially during finals week.

10. No matter what organization, major, or residential hall you are apart of, you love UTD no matter what. It is your home and you wouldn't change a thing.

Well, except for the parking... and the constant construction... but other than that it's great!

So have a fantastic semester Comets, and continue whooshing your way to graduation!

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
