22 Things Texas A&M Could've Spent $75 Million On Instead of Jimbo Fisher

I know a National Championship sounds pretty cool, but so does a Whataburger on campus...

Okay people, don't get me wrong. I love Aggie Football, and I'm so excited to see what new coach Jimbo Fisher does with this team. I lost my voice yelling at the Clemson game, and I'm excited to see how the team does this year in the SEC.

But I think we all need to calm down a little bit.

Jimbo Fisher is just a football coach.

Hopefully, you're still reading this article after that sentence. I love football, and I know Texas A&M University loves football, but I also think I'm going to need to see a little more long-term evidence (Like our record come November!!) before you'll see me chanting Jimbo's name along with everyone else in Kyle Field.

And so even though I promise I'm every bit excited to have Jimbo as the next Aggie, I thought it might be fun, and maybe give us a little perspective, to take a minute and daydream about some other ways Texas A&M could've used the $75 million they shelled out to get their head coach.

Buy a pair of Crocs for every student.

Since students have to walk so much across TAMU's massive campus, you might as well provide them with some comfortable and fashionable footwear to get there!

Build another hotel.

Who needs more student housing?

50 by 25.

Why shoot for 25,000 students in TAMU engineering by 2025 when you could have 50,000?! The more, the merrier, am I right?!

Make Kyle Field indoors.

Oh, you mean we just got a new stadium?

More. Parking.

Good luck finding room on campus for another garage to overcharge students for though...

A private suite for Reveille.

I'm sure the Corp dorms are lovely arrangements, but she is the queen of Aggieland, right? Maybe it's time she was treated like it.

A Starbucks in every building.

So that way you can get your coffee before you have to wait in line at the one in Evan's Library!

Put a Whataburger on campus.

This one would help the school make even more money, so they can hire Jimbo all over again.

An express train to Dallas/Austin/Houston/anywhere more exciting than College Station.

To make up for the lack of things to do in the BCS area.

Even more parking.

In case you didn't get the idea. Parking is an issue!!

Install confetti and fireworks under the Century Tree.

...And an alarm that goes off if you try to walk under it alone.

Somehow fix the traffic?!

I'm not really sure how we could make this one happen, but I'm sure with $75 million they could at least make it so it doesn't take me 25 minutes to get from George Bush to University.

Replace all the Ofos with mopeds.

Wipe Blocker Building off of the face of the earth.

It would be the perfect spot for the next hotel!

Pay the janitorial, food services, and other employees of Texas A&M a little more money.

They definitely deserve more for having to put up with 60,000 college students waiting in line for Chick-fil-a every week. (P.S. to the lady at Smashburger who knows me by name, you're a rockstar and so underappreciated!!!)

Install an elevator in Heldenfels.

Make Breakaway every night of the week.

**Insert T.A. saying "Howdy" here**

Renovate the dorms so they are at least livable.

Or at least greatly reduce the price students pay for the shoeboxes they call rooms.

Cover the seal on Military Walk in solid gold.

Give the cats at Heldenfels a home.

Maybe the squirrels too?

Add six more floors to Evan's Library.

People will probably still have to sit in the floor of the MSC during meals though...

To ensure that the Aggie band and the yell leaders stay exactly the way they are.

Because no matter what the football team does, we can always count on winning halftime, and the Aggie band and yell leaders never letting us down!

I really hope Aggie football does great things this season, and I hope Jimbo Fisher has a lot of success here at Aggieland. But I also think we should all take a step back before we throw someone who, at the end of the day, is just a football coach onto too high of a pedestal.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
