Congratulations, you're a lumberjack! Now that you've chosen what some have described as the best college in the nation, you've got some great years ahead of you. There are a myriad of things to do and experience while attending SFA, but here are 30 you should definitely make a point to do at some point before your time here comes to an end.
1. Attend Jack Camp
Jack Camp is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself as an incoming freshman, and, honest,y it should be mandatory that every person goes. You make friendships at Jack Camp that can last forever.
2. Attend (and tailgate) a football game
It's the biggest and best darties that SFA throws. Tailgating at a football game is almost a right of passage.
3. Experience Battle Of The Piney Woods
The biggest game of the year against our rivals Sam Houston that happens every fall at the NRG stadium in Houston. It's THE GAME with the best tailgating and you can;t miss out on a chance to watch SFA own Sam Houston.
4. Trash Sam Houston a little
What's a bearcat, anyway?
5. Go to the homecoming bonfire
A bonfire and a concert is a great way to kick off the Homecoming festivities!
6. Attend a basketball game
Not as much of a party as the football games, but still something everyone should experience.
7. Go to BAG Night
Wednesday nights at Frogs and Flashback offer a Big Ass Glass of your drink of choice for a price that won't break the bank. You can't miss out on this. After you're 21, of course.
8. Go to a frat party
What's the college experience without going to a huge frat party? C'mon, it'll be a story to tell your grandkids!
9. Go dancing at Banita
Put on your cowboy boots and hop on over to the where the biggest country concerts in Nacogdoches happen!
10. Go to Lumberyard on a Thursday night
I promise you won't be disappointed
11. Fuzzy's
Fuzzy's isn't unique to Nacogdoches, but it's the place to hang out, eat good food, and drink margs, especially on a Monday.
12. Tonkowa
It's where all the people are come Fourth of July or Labor Day.
13. Go to an SI session.
Nerdy, I know, but you just might get all the answers to a test you didn't study for.
14. Join an organization
SFA is teeming with organizations, and it's a great way to make new friends.
15. Late night studying at IHOP with your friends
Finals can be hard, 3 a.m. pancakes can make memorizing biology so much more enjoyable.
16. Eat at one of the cafeterias
You can't complain about something until you've tried it, right?
17. Participate in the Big Event
Give back to the community and have fun with your friends while you're at it.
18. Take a Cap and Gown Picture in front of the SFA sign.
You have to let the people driving down North Street know you finally made it!
19. Participate in The Big Dip
Momentarily dye your hand purple the way SFA has permanently dyed your heart purple.
20. Graduate
Between the frat parties, the friendships, the heartbreak, the late nights that turned into morning, all the classes your forced yourself to go to were for this moment. So get your degree and go be an adult!
