It's already October, which means fall semester at Abilene Christian University is moving at full speed. Things move pretty fast, so it's a good idea to make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing as a student here.
Here at nine things you have to do as an ACU right of passage before graduating:
1. Run through the GATA fountain with your woes.
You pass by it every day and no matter how bad the water may smell, you can't deny you've been dying to sprint through that fountain without a care in the world.
2. Skinny dip in the Hunter Welcome Center Pond.
It's beautiful, it's serene and it's magical at night. You know you wanna just leap in. Careful of the fish, but hey, hill billy hand fishing could be fun. Why not have a fish fry? Schubert might not appreciate it, but your stomach will.
3. Sneak a member of the opposite sex into your hall on a day other than visitation.
So this might be a little suggestive, but we are writing this with completely honest intentions. Sometimes rules are just meant to be broken. There ARE cameras in the halls so this is where we have to get creative. Maybe dress your guy is drag, or one time I heard about this boy who smuggled his girlfriend in a duffle bag. People let their true colors shine when it comes to their method of sneaking people in, so get festive.
4. Spend the night in a classroom.
Why waste your time walking to and from your dorm? This way you can just wake up dressed and refreshed and ready for class. You can't go wrong camping out in your 8 am.
5. Climb one of the rooftops on a building and enjoy a view.
Okay, so fair warning this one comes with a price. You might get caught but hey! Somewhat worth it. For those students caught on a rooftop the end result is a hefty fine of $50 and 15 weeks of counseling with a faculty member. But you get to pick who it is, so why not? It's really a win-win.
6. Hide in the library after closing time.
If you're ever in the mood for an extreme game of hide and go seek, why not use the ultimate arena? The library at night is BAE. Go hide behind a bookshelf as they blast "Closing Time," or whatever song they use as their outdo. How would they know, man? I believe in you.
7. Take the mic at Chapel.
This one's for all you karaoke lovers out there. The spotlight is YOURS. Grab the mic and bust out your go-to Mariah Carrie ballad. Highways and Byways ain't got nothin' on you.
8. Park your car in the middle of campus.
If you're lazy and a horrible driver, this one is right up your alley. Get it. Alley. How convenient would it be to not have to walk from a parking lot to your class? I KNOW.
9. Steal the entire tray of bean cookies.
She JUST got a tray out of the oven, carefully placed each cookie on top of the other, and delicately placed the decorative plate onto the dessert display. Now you come in, take the entire plate and dash out of there. Genius.
