As different as FFA might be in different regions of the country, there are a few things that separate us from those who just don't understand our love for the blue and gold. Here are 20 things that come to my mind immediately when I reminisce on my time as an FFA member, officer, and lover.
1. We know what a tallywacker is and that it shall never come untucked.
2. Putting on panty hose in a moving vehicle is no problem.
3. Corduroy is only warm when it's warm outside.
4. 7 am really means 7:15 because there's always that one guy...
5. At the end of the year you have 5 more scarves than what you started with.
6. The chaos of fruit sale delivery day and basically everyday leading up to it.
7. Trying to find members from Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico for your National Convention book.
8. Public speaking became easy because of those random "get up and talk" moments.
9. Proficiency applications took longer than college applications. They were also more detailed.
10. Teachers always come to you for grilling at school events because you're the only one who knows how not to make the ag grill mad.
11. Keeping up with your advisor in heels became the ultimate goal.
12. The words "I believe" should be followed by "...in the future of agriculture..."
13. Jackets come off when there's food.
14. Just when you become BFF's with the officer team, your favorites graduate.
15. The last banquet is always the worst.
16. You might have cried when your advisor handed you the plaque you worked so hard for.
17. "I'm in love with a boy of the FFA"
18. Packing is always left to the night before you leave.
19. The pins took forever to pin straight.
20. Fan girling over The Peterson Farm Bros
