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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
