10 Things All Aggie Families Know
Justin Bejcek and Ali Medders
  • 1-If someone says “whoop” everyone within 100 feet will drop everything they’re doing to respond with their own “whoop”
  • 2-A thumbs up is no longer just a thumbs up it becomes a secret sign that will instantly bond you with complete strangers
  • 3-The ring…it’s the most valuable thing an Aggie owns and if you shake the hand of someone with that big golden Aggie ring it’s an instant friendship
  • 4-Aggies stand by Aggies, even perfect strangers will stand up for a fellow Aggie
  • 5-Bad sportsmanship is not tolerated, Aggies will turn to people who are not being good Aggies and call them just that, a “Bad Ag,” to remind them that Aggies are supposed to be caring, kind, good sports no matter what that scoreboard says
  • 6-Maroon is a wonderful color and actually looks good on everyone and everything, the amount of maroon clothing I now own is insane
  • 7-“Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck” this is the Aggie war hymn that any good Ag can hear from miles away-once someone starts it…it cannot be stopped and will only grow in volume
  • 8-Reveille is not just a dog-if she barks in class the class is immediately dismissed, she has her own handler, if she lays on your bed sorry but you have to find a new place to sleep, she is A&M’s first lady and will be treated as such
  • 9-Aggies have strong legs-they stand the entire game in support of their team as the “12th man
  • 10- Texas A&M is not your average university and it builds incredible men and women, I’m so proud of my big brother the Aggie and while I may be a Bama fan those Aggies will always have a special place in my heart

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.

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.
