Aggieland is back in full swing, and it's oh so exciting! With the 60,000 students of Texas A&M flooding back into the BCS area, the stillness of summer is gone. There's more traffic, longer lines at all of our favorite restaurants, and less cell service pretty much everywhere (hang up and hang out, people). But at the same time, there's more friendly faces, more Aggies at every corner, and less waiting for football season (T minus six days, y'all).
With more people flooding campus, there are so many more cars on the streets. Make sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to classes. Try to carpool with friends when possible and take the bus - because we're students and it's free! In general, be aware that it's going to take longer than you expect to get anywhere for the next few weeks. It may be frustrating, but don't get too frustrated because there's an Aggie in front or behind you and that's exciting!
So, you want to get Fuego late at night? It was never crowded over the summer at this time? Well, I got news for you. All of your favorite restaurants are going to be constantly crowded every day of the week. Don't let long lines keep you from satisfying your cravings! Go out and meet new people while you wait a good 15 minutes to get your food. Yes, it's annoying and you may be hangry, but there's always someone friendly looking to get to meet you. Make the most of the wait and share that Aggie camaraderie that lives inside each of us.
It's the beginning of another fall semester which means that we have a full semester of Fighting Texas Aggie football to look forward to! Whether you're lucky enough to snag a seat with a Corps boy or stuck in the third deck heat, Aggies are finally back together doing what we love - standing for hours in the beloved Kyle Field. Being at Kyle Field make up for the ridiculously slow traffic and overcrowded restaurants. The Spirit of Aggieland is about to get hype, and Aggies everywhere are making sure that their game day outfits are ready for the Texas heat this week and for many weekends to follow.
While it can be irritating to constantly be stuck in traffic and waiting at lights seems like an eternity, the fall in College Station is one of the best times of the year. Football season as a student at Texas A&M brings so many fun weekends, road trips, and good memories. As alumnae, kids are decked out in maroon and old college pals reunite for tailgates with season tickets in hand.
Aggieland is back in full swing, and the whoops are real.
