"Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble When You're A Louisiana Tech Bulldog Fan!"

10 Things You Know To Be True If You Went To Louisiana Tech
Meagan Lee

We all know that Louisiana Tech is the best university in the country. But it's the little quirks and special nuances that make our years on this campus so unforgettable.

How 'bout them dawgs??

1. The Spirit of '88 is not just a silly superstition.


Rubbing that shiny bulldog head has helped me pass many an exam; it's physically impossible for me to walk past the statue and not rub it for good luck.

2. It's not weird at all that our Lady Techsters wear a different shade of blue than our Bulldogs...

It's called tradition. And it makes us unique. And Colombia blue is just plain prettier for girls anyway!

3. Your hand is permanently formed into a dawg.


Teaching your parents and grandparents how to make the dawg can be challenging, though...

4. Tulips hold a special place in your heart.

There aren't many things better than the Quad in the spring.

5. Finding your brick for the first time is a monumental moment.

Proudest moment as an alumna.

6. DON'T STEP ON THE SEAL!

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS RED AND BLUE, WALK AROUND IT! DO NOT RISK YOUR GRADUATION!!

7. The Band of Pride is the absolute best.

Director Robkin's white hat is iconic on the field, and there is no one with more school spirit than these guys.

8. The Lady of The Mist:

*To the Miss Congeniality tune* She's beauty and she's grace; she's constantly covered in bubbles or a flag or something ridiculous...

9. Dr. Guice is probably the best university president in the country.

I mean really. How adorable is he? Not to mention he can walk through campus and greet dozens of random students by first name.

10. You hold your finger high and proud to show all that Louisiana Tech is number one in your heart.

"I will ever loyal be to thee, my alma mater."

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
