8 Things Every Incoming Bulldog Needs To Experience

Attention all future Bulldogs: the next four years at Tech are going to be some of the best you will experience. You make so many memories that will carry you through your life! Here are my eight that I think are the most important! But make sure to not wish away your college time! It goes faster than you think!!

1. Go to your Freshman Convocation

Each freshman has the chance to go to this. When you walk into Howard, you are handed a coin that at the end of the ceremony you will throw into the lady of the mist. When you graduate from Tech, when you are walking across the stage, you are handed a coin that looks the exactly the same as the one you threw into the fountain as a freshman. This is a right of passage.

2. Avoid the Seal

DO NOT STEP ON THE SEAL. No matter what you do. If you do, you better run as fast as you can to rub the top of the bulldogs head in the student center to help bring you luck. The legend goes, that the first ever bulldog is buried under the seal. Legend also states, that if you step on it, it takes you longer to graduate, if you graduate at all.

3.Go to all the sporting events you can

Whether it is football, basketball, softball, baseball, go to it. It is a great way to show your love for your school. This is the best time for you to make memories with your friends and the rest of the student body.

4.Take a picture with Tech

This is something that I have not gotten the chance to do, but can not wait to do. This is our living breathing mascot and every student should take a picture with him. If you see him on campus or at a sports game, stop what you are doing a take a picture with him.

5.Rub the bulldogs head

When walking in the student center make sure to always run the Bulldogs head. It is said that rubbing the head will bring you luck. Always try to stop by on the way to a test for some extra luck.

6.Get to know your tech family


Rather it's your teachers or other students, you need to get to know people at tech. Rather it's in class, at a campus event, sporting event, or just in the student center get to know the Tech Family. The people who are older than you can help you a lot. So take advance of this.

7.Go to union board events

Go to these free, yes I said free, on-campus events. Whether it's tech the halls, drive-in movie, or rus vegas, this is a great and fun way to do some stuff on campus. Union Board works super hard to put on these great events for students. Make sure to grab your friends and go to all the events! They also sell really cute t-shirts!!

8. Learn how to throw the bulldog up

Throw it up whenever you can! Every place is a great place for the Bulldog.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
