12 Thoughts Every Aggie Has The First Week Of School

Haley Walker

Summer is over and College Station is back to being WELL past its max capacity, yet my heart still remains the fullest thing in town.

Although school can be a pain, Texas A&M is home sweet home to every Aggie it houses.

Here are 12 thoughts the 12th man has upon returning to their sweet university.

1. I can’t believe gig 'em week is over already.

I guess it's technically called "howdy week" now, but I refuse to say that. Whatever its name, it's the best week of the semester regardless.

2. All the whoops for football season.

Liz Wytko

Gig. Em. Ags. My twelfth man towel is out, my face tattoos have been bought, and I'm ready to sweat my body weight all season long as president Jimbo Fisher leads us to the national championship. Ayyyy. Uhhuhhh.

3. Hashtag blessed that breakaway is back.

In my opinion, the most unique, breathtaking thing about A&M is the Christian community on fire for Jesus Christ. Nothing beats worshipping with thousands of your fellow students as you proclaim the name that is above every other name.

4. I really hope the rec dies down soon.

At the beginning of each semester, everyone is ready to reach their fitness goals. As a gym rat, I am sincerely rooting for each and every one of you. As a gym rat, I am also ready for you to start slacking so the gym can be empty again.

5. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LANE TURNING RIGHT ON TEXAS!

Self-explanatory. Please and thank you.

6. If only syllabus week was actually syllabus week.

Things go from our class schedule is on page six to get out a pen and paper real quick here in Aggieland. A small price to pay in order to get the best education in the world, no bias.

7. Endless joy because your college fam is reunited!

Shelby Jackson

Nothing is sweeter! I'm convinced college would be impossible without the souls you love who get to do it with you. Study sessions, grocery shopping, family dinners, coffee runs, it's all better with your besties by your side.

8. Wait, how many textbooks do I need?

There are two types of people. Those who buy all their textbooks for all their classes before classes even start, and those who wait until after their first classes to order them, procrastinate, and end up not buying any of them. Choose wisely.

9. Okay, this Texas heat can definitely chill out right about now.

I'm honestly tired of looking like I just swam to class instead of walked due to the amount of sweat on my back. It's gross! I'm embarrassed! I want to wear jeans! And sweaters! Please!

10. Maybe taking this 8 am was a bad idea...

From one morning person to another, don't play yourself. I love getting up at six. I really do. So I can workout, make breakfast, shower, spend time with Jesus, drink my coffee, and be on time to my 9am classes. 9am is doable. 8am is a sleep-deprived, grumpy trenta. Be honest.

11. One semester closer to getting that Aggie gold!

Shelby Jackson

Eyes on the prize. Fight to the finish. Every ag eagerly anticipates btho-ing 90 hours one semester at a time. We all like it and we all want A&M to put a ring on it.

12. Why the heck is our first football game on a Thursday?

Haley Walker

Midnight yell on a wednesday? Not even at midnight? And then I have classes the next day? And then I go to the football game? And then I have classes again the NEXt day? Pass. This isn't a middle school JV football game. This FTA football.

Thanks and gig 'em!!! BTHO first week of school!!!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
