What I Missed About College Station

Because there's no place like sweet home College Station.

What I Missed About College Station

Well Ags, Summer is over and it's time for us to head back to college station where we belong. No matter where you are from, we all know you missed the wonderful College Station, Texas. I mean really where else could the entire city be named after a college?

Dining Dollars

Getting food with friends is hardly any fun, when it breaks the bank. In college dining dollars are the best thing ever invented. Guilt free Starbucks and Chick-fil-A? Sign me up, please.

The Coffee Houses

Who wants to study at home, when you could be acting like a hipster? Whether your spot is The Brew, Sweet Eugene's, or Lupus, we all like to hold a warm coffee cup and have "intentional conversations" or at least act like were studying somewhere.

The flag room

Listening to any other piano sounds pretty lame when you compare it to Texas A&M’s flag room piano. Also, if you have a friend who is able to play it, it’s safe to say you basically know a celebrity.

Not having to see burnt orange places

I think we all can agree that no one looks well groomed in burnt orange. Seeing that color this summer gave me a headache a few times. Also, people in this color tend to not be fond of when I say the letters "T.U." to refer to their school. I'm not sure why people get so mad when I'm just telling the truth. Anyways, Aggies, we are so lucky we do not have to look at that awful color all semester. Plus, Maroon soothes the soul, it’s a proven fact.

Waiting for an hour at Walmart... Ok maybe not this one ...

What fun is going to the store without waiting in a line forever? Freshmen, please come buy more things your never going to use in your dorm room, we didn’t need more toothpaste from Walmart anyway, well live! I’m sure my crush loves the smell of Gumby’s in my breath.


Gumby's

Speaking of Gumby’s, I’m not really sure what they hang on the walls and the smell of the place may make me question what is even inside the pizza rolls in the first place. However, we all have to gain that freshmen/sophomore/junior/senior 15 somewhere, and those greasy pizza rolls with Jalapeño Ranch are sure to do the trick. Oh, Gumby’s, how we missed you so.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
