22 Things I Learned During My Freshman Year at TAMU

A whole year in a new place leads learning a billion new things. Here are 22 (A-A-A-A-A)


1. Aggieland Outfitters is not the only option for TAMU apparel and it is insanely overpriced

2. I really over estimated how many meal swipes I would need every semester

3. When you walk past Kyle Field and the MSC there will be a small wind tornado happening at all times of the day

4. For a school with 60,000 students, it is really way too small, everyone knows everyone and it is weird

5. A 48 oz water bottle is a necessity

6. So is an umbrella. I literally did not have an umbrella when I moved in.

7. Don't under estimate your ability to hold a lot of stuff because when you go to Panda Express in the MSC they will give you everything behind the counter AND the counter and you have to hold it and look like you have your life together ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

8. Fuego and torchy's are both delicious. Let's chill out on the debate

9. But Layne's is not. It is not good at all. Canes is the only option. (This one did not do so well on Twitter)

10. Cowboy boots are very uncomfortable

11. Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

12. The burrito bowl place in the upstairs MSC is much better quality but the burrito bowl place in the downstairs MSC has better/less spicy chicken

13. If you walk around campus with headphones in you will pass people you know and not realize it and they'll yell your name and you will be completely unaware

14. Those free shirts that I cared so much about getting during Howdy Week? Yeah didn't wear any of them ever.

15. The Aggie War Hymn Remix is a BOP. Check it out on YouTube.

16. Every single yell. Except I forgot them now but I had them down during football season.

17. Road trips are like ice cream for the soul. IDK if that makes sense

18. I still don't like the taste of coffee but it is sometimes necessary

19. There is a dip in the second floor of Evans and I will ALWAYS trip on it

20. The squirrels WILL attack. Do not engage

21. don't underestimate the power of the stairs in Heldenfels

22. walking through Rudder Plaza in the middle of the day is a terrible idea unless you want to become a human recycling bin

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
