We are tired of this.

This past week, the video known as "Politically-Challenged" has resurfaced on the Internet and has gone viral, once again. A countless number of people have posted on my Facebook wall, regarding the video, making fun of both Texas Tech students and our generation. To sum things up about the video, broadcaster Courtney Plunk asks Tech students at the free speech area on campus different questions about American history. The answers - not so great. Well, I'm here to tell you that a video surveying about 15 students does not reflect Texas Tech University, at all.

First and foremost, I am no history major or history buff. I may be a little rusty when it comes to basic questions on history, math or science. The information that is being processed in my mind is current information about my classes, or future. If I was asked a question on the spot, I know for a fact that I would be caught off guard and would need a moment to think. So, after putting myself in another person's shoes, I can understand the instant pressure they went through. I would probably overthink these questions as well.

Also, a survey of about 15 students does not reflect a diverse university with more than 30,000 students. Texas Tech is a top-tier university, with some of the best programs the country has to offer, including a prestigious medical and law school. The school also offers a wide range of graduate programs in degrees through Business Administration, the College of Engineering, the College of Media & Communication and the School of Law. Our motto is Strive for Honor, and that is exactly what we do.

Some of the notable Texas Tech alumni include Ed Whitacre, former chairman and CEO of both AT&T and General Motors and Scott Pelley, anchor and managing editor of CBS evening news. From here, it's possible is another Texas Tech open motto meaning: our student body has no limits. Because the university is limitless, it offers cutting-edge research facilities for agricultural sciences, wind energy and so much more.

Texas Tech is also in the top 100 national public universities to attend –– so we are doing something right.

Here some of our achievements in 2014-15 alone:

But let's go back to the video shall we?

This type of "reporting" has been around for quite some time. Do you remember, Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment?

Also, has nobody seen any Jimmy Kimmel segments when he asks Americans basic questions, and they give stupid answers? Well here is another example:

So America, you can stop bashing Texas Tech now and look at what the other people around the nation are doing.

The student body is tired of being the underdog. It's not us, look at the rest of the nation.

I'm just going to leave this here.
