9 Reasons Why Reveille Is Actually Aggieland's Lil' Sebastian

For those of you who don’t know, Lil’ Sebastian is the infamous miniature horse in the NBC show "Parks and Recreation." But he isn’t just any horse.

Just like Reveille isn’t just any dog.

Here are just a few of the many reasons why Reveille is the greatest mascot and worthy of Lil' Sebastian-caliber hype.

1. She is more than just a mascot.

Reveille is not just a person in a costume on the sidelines. She is not your average collie. She symbolizes the tradition and loyalty that Texas A&M values and holds so dearly (click here for the full history of how this awesome tradition came to be!) She embodies the Aggie spirit and like so much of it, she is remarkable in ways that words cannot describe.

2. She is loved by all.

Have you met an Aggie who isn’t completely and obnoxiously obsessed with Reveille? Yeah, didn’t think so.

3. Like, really loved.

Because I don’t think y’all get the entire picture. Am I dog person? Definitely not. But do I love her more than my own family? Possibly.

4. She is royalty.

She has the poise of Elizabeth Taylor. She has the personality of Oprah. She has the wits of Meryl Streep, and the power of Leslie Knope herself. She is beauty, she is grace. She is the Queen of Aggieland.

5. Reveille is present at all of the A-List events.

Rec-a-palooza. The Commons Reopening. Events too big and exclusive for me to even know about. On the field at every fightin’ Texas Aggie football game (WH**P). If Reveille isn’t there, is it even worth going?

6. Getting to meet her is every Aggie’s dream.

And speaking of, a certain Odyssey-writing, kind, redass gal has not yet had the honor *cough cough* Reveille, if you're reading this, let's be best friends please!!!

7. Miss Rev is attended to with the utmost of care. Just like Lil' Sebastian was...

In all seriousness, huge shout out to Company E-2, who for all the non-Ags out there, are given the responsibility of caring for Reveille. Thanks for being better handlers than Jerry/Larry/Garry.

8. Outsiders don’t get the hype.

The Ben Wyatts of the world just have to exist, don’t they? Unfortunately, like Ben, people who are not blessed with the opportunity to attend Texas A&M do not understand “what the big deal is anyways”. They truly don't know the joy they are missing out on. There’s a spirit can never be told, y’all…

9. We miss the former Revs in the saddest fashion.

The hit song “5000 Candles in the Wind” written by the world famous band Mouse Rat, is arguably one of the most iconic moments in Parks and Rec history. Naturally, Texas A&M also has similar memorials for our beloved former queens.

I hope maybe this article made you understand the hype at least a little bit better (unless you're completely lost because you still haven't had your life changed by "Parks and Recreation", and if that's the case I am truly sorry for all you are missing out on). Thanks and Gig 'em!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
