12 Little Things at Texas A&M That Take Your Breath Away

As stressed out college students, most of us don't have time to go on nature walks or travel to places that take our breath away. We would all love to see the Grand Canyon, but we're too busy staring at the ceiling in Evans Library or the high school hallways of Wehner. Though the things we take pleasure in seeing might not be outdoorsy wonders of the world, they are just as important and just as awe-striking.

I've compiled a list of the top things that I, as a college student consider to be beautiful.

1. An empty table in the library right next to an outlet.


We all know this is a rare sight, especially during prime study hours or dead days.

2. No Line at Starbucks.

Who really wants to spend precious studying time standing in a 30 minute line?

3. A good tree in Academic Plaza to hang your hammock in.


There's only so many trees that are good for hammocking.

4. An A or B on an exam you expected to fail.

This calls for a moment of celebration and a trip to Torchy's.

5. A parking spot close to wherever you need to go.


Parking at A&M really sucks because getting a lot anywhere near your classes is next to impossible.

6. An email declaring that class is cancelled.

This is rare and a cause for excessive jumping up and down and maybe a celebratory dance.

7. A random deposit of cash into your bank account from your parents.

Every little bit helps when you're surviving on PB&J sandwiches 24/7

8. The computer screen when you register for classes and actually get the ones you want.


I don't think this ever happens for anyone regardless of classification.

9. Attractive cadets in Midnights that say howdy.

This needs to happen more often.

10. The first time you walk into your lab and realize that your TA speaks English.

Hallelujah, now I might actually have a chance of passing. #Blessed

11. The first time an Aggie slips their Aggie ring onto their finger.

I actually cried from joy at Ring Day this year... and it wasn't even mine.

And last but not least...

12. The 12th Man standing strong at all Texas A&M sporting events.


Nothing beats this. NOTHING.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
