This list went viral on Aggie Twitter, so I figured I should share it here too.

22 Things I Learned During My Freshman Year at TAMU

A whole year in a new place leads learning a billion new things. Here are 22 (A-A-A-A-A)


1. Aggieland Outfitters is not the only option for TAMU apparel and it is insanely overpriced

2. I really over estimated how many meal swipes I would need every semester

3. When you walk past Kyle Field and the MSC there will be a small wind tornado happening at all times of the day

4. For a school with 60,000 students, it is really way too small, everyone knows everyone and it is weird

5. A 48 oz water bottle is a necessity

6. So is an umbrella. I literally did not have an umbrella when I moved in.

7. Don't under estimate your ability to hold a lot of stuff because when you go to Panda Express in the MSC they will give you everything behind the counter AND the counter and you have to hold it and look like you have your life together ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

8. Fuego and torchy's are both delicious. Let's chill out on the debate

9. But Layne's is not. It is not good at all. Canes is the only option. (This one did not do so well on Twitter)

10. Cowboy boots are very uncomfortable

11. Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

12. The burrito bowl place in the upstairs MSC is much better quality but the burrito bowl place in the downstairs MSC has better/less spicy chicken

13. If you walk around campus with headphones in you will pass people you know and not realize it and they'll yell your name and you will be completely unaware

14. Those free shirts that I cared so much about getting during Howdy Week? Yeah didn't wear any of them ever.

15. The Aggie War Hymn Remix is a BOP. Check it out on YouTube.

16. Every single yell. Except I forgot them now but I had them down during football season.

17. Road trips are like ice cream for the soul. IDK if that makes sense

18. I still don't like the taste of coffee but it is sometimes necessary

19. There is a dip in the second floor of Evans and I will ALWAYS trip on it

20. The squirrels WILL attack. Do not engage

21. don't underestimate the power of the stairs in Heldenfels

22. walking through Rudder Plaza in the middle of the day is a terrible idea unless you want to become a human recycling bin

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
