During welcome week and throughout my first year at Baylor, I heard and saw so many things that made me do a double take. Now as a junior, I caught myself saying and doing some of these. I'm afraid that after graduation, I'm going to try to take some of my Baylor things into the workplace. Not everyone bleeds green and gold.
1. Using "sic 'em" as a response to any and everything.
We do this too much. "Hey I got an A on my test!" "Nice, sic 'em!"
2. "I had a chapel Ryan sighting today."
3. Using the word "bear" in everything they/we can.
Airbear. Bearweb. Bearbucks. The list can go on.
4. "I've seen 3 proposals this year."
5. Deciding between going to Scruffs or going to bed early enough to go to church the next day.
I know plenty of people who do this. Don't deny it.
6. "Which one is Lady and which one is Joy again?
7. Feeling like you're making a drug deal every time you do a Free and For Sale exchange.
8. Falling down while running the line.
I'm pretty sure I still have a scar from freshman year.
9. Explaining to your non-Baylor friends what Dia is.
"Yeah it's just this day we don't have class and we have a petting zoo and concerts?"
10. "I finally got a pic with Kenny."
11. That magical moment when you and the person you're with both land a tortilla while tortilla tossing.
Start planning your wedding.
12. "I can't, I have SING practice."
13. "I can't. I'm going to SING."
14. Having such a small campus that you awkwardly smile at that girl you hung out with one time freshman year.
For the next three years.
15. "It's still P-nasty."
Because us upperclassmen need something to be snobby about. We can also talk about how we know what it was like before McLane Stadium or the 5th Street fountain.
