6 Things Only TCU Upperclassman Will Understand

Cellar Thursdays will never be forgotten

6 Things Only TCU Upperclassman Will Understand

TCU and the surrounding area is always changing. As upperclassman, we have experienced a lot of things the younger students will never be able to.

1. Karaoke Thursdays at Cellar

Cellar was one of the best bars around TCU. Every Thursday you could expect a line out the door because students couldn't get enough of Karaoke night. The indoor/outdoor bar was great for any time of year. The bar tragically and suddenly closed, leaving TCU students mourning. The worst part of it all is where the building used to stand is now just a planter.

2. Spending countless nights of freshman year at Lab

The Science Lab, or Lab for short, was the go to bar for freshman back in the day. It was close and convenient. The bar lacked class to say the least, but we all have some great memories or regrets of nights spent at Lab.

3. Our incredible 2014 football season

We broke into the Top 10 for multiple weeks, ended the season with a 12-1 record, and destroyed Ole Miss in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. We were underestimated at the beginning of the season and proved a lot of people wrong. I can't forget to mention the incredible win against Oklahoma, who was ranked 4 and we were ranked 25, and storming the field with the rest of the TCU student body.

4. Having the Greek not under construction

With the new Greek houses being built, the Greek seems like it has been under construction forever. We remember the days that you used to be able to park there and easily walk to any house without blockades or fences.

5. Polliwogs from Bottom

The Polliwog is the drink that Bottom is known for. The contents of the delicious, slushy drink may never be revealed, but that didn't stop it from being a crowd favorite.

6. Wednesday night bowling

Students used to head over to City View Lanes on Wednesday nights for the $1 beer and good times bowling. Some people came to bowl, while some people just came to socialize. Some weeks it was so packed with TCU students that you couldn't even get a lane. I don't know why this trend died, but we should definitely bring it back.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
