Judging by this calendar, the Spring semester at TCU has a lot in store for us. Here are some important dates of breaks, academic events, and things on campus that you just won't want to miss in the next few months.
1/13 - 1/18 SYLLABUS WEEK: Although this may be the dreaded first week of classes, the social scene during syllabus week never fails to disappoint. Even if you have accounting at 8 a.m. on Monday morning, chances are you'll still be drunk from that last pollywog you pounded while pushing your way through the dance floor at Rock Bottom.
1/18 @ 5 p.m. TCU vs. TEXAS TECH
1/ 20 MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY: Though all of us may not know why we celebrate MLK, we thank him for getting us out of school for that much needed recovery day after week one.
1/25 @ 8 p.m. TCU vs. KANSAS
2/5 SPRING CAREER AND INTERN EXPO: In this job market, we need all the help we can get. Take this opportunity to whip up a resume and scout out a job. Who knows, you just might fool someone into thinking you're capable of doing more than nap really well, watch netflix for an extended amount of time, and retain insane amounts of information for a whole three hours (or until you're done with your exam) before forgetting it.
2/14 FIRST BASEBALL GAME OF THE SEASON (TCU vs. JACKSONVILLE @ 6:30 pm). Yes, it is also Valentine's day, but what's more romantic than horned frogs, baseball, and hot dogs? For those females trying to take their mind off of the holiday, why not go to the baseball game and pick a player to cheer for like he is your boyfriend? It's a win-win situation.
3/7 LAST DAY TO DROP, but remember this kids, "once you drop to 12 hours, you never go back." Really though, I dare you to drop that course and take 12 hours for the rest of the semester, then go back up to 15 the next.
3/7 - 3/17 SPRING BREAK: A time to relax, catch up on school work, and spend quality time with friends and family...yeah, right. Whether you're shivering on the beach in Gulf Shores, hitting the slopes in Colorado, getting wet n' wild in Cabo, you will return saying "that was the best week of my life," even though it's highly unlikely that you actually remember anything about this trip. Not to worry, however, because your parents will never let you forget the most important things from your trip, such as the extra six pounds, the negative balance on your debit card, and the phone, one flip flop, or other miscellanious item that did not make it home with you.
4/ 18 GOOD FRIDAY: Woopie, Friday off. Too bad most of you skip class on Friday, anyways. I guess that means you can skip Thursday. Professors love that.
5/1 - 5/2 DEAD DAYS: Finally, the university gives us that much-needed time to party, I mean study. Seriously though, there is no prediction of another ice-pocalypse occuring in May, so there is no excuse to hide from Mary Coutts during study days this semester.
5/5-5/10 FINALS: A time for cramming, tears, drinking dangerous amounts of caffeine, and much deserved celebration.
