Goodbye Aggieland – It’s Been the Time of My Life
Though I’ve said it a million times by now – I can’t help but say it again. Time has flown so fast. I’m pretty sure yesterday I was moving into Eppright, my freshman dorm. Yesterday I was studying abroad in the heart of Tuscany. Yesterday I was just getting my gorgeous, gold Aggie ring. But [...]
Aggie Bucket List Countdown!
Though I have been at A&M for four years now, my bucket list still has items that haven’t been checked off!!! And, if you haven’t noticed, there are less than 10 days until I am out of here forever! EEK! Let’s take a look at what I’ve checked off and then I will tell you [...]
Easter on the Ranch
Most friends at A&M, who don’t know my background well, are very surprised when I tell them that I live on a ranch. I think its because I fit in so well with the “city” crowd, that they think it can’t be possible. Well y’all, I’m here to tell ya its all true. I live [...]
The Wedding Bells are Ringin’ in Aggieland!
I remember the first time I saw bling in a classroom. And no, I am not talking about chains or grills or studded watches. I mean a cold-cut diamond ring. The ring belonged to a senior girl sitting in front of me in my freshman Psychology class. To be honest, my first thoughts were “WHAT!!?? [...]
2011 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!
Before I get started, allow me to get this off my chest…. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phew. That’s better. If you didn’t catch it this week, there was kinda some big news floating around campus and during the highlights of ESPN reports… Yeah, it’s nothing big or anything, just that the Aggie Women’s Basketball team WON THE NATIONAL [...]
Passions
Last week, our Student Retailing Association meeting hosted an Aggie executive from the Dallas advertising agency, The Integer Group. While I went in thinking it would be a typical informational company meeting, I was pleasantly surprised. We talked about the company and internship opportunities for about … 5 minutes. Sounds strange huh? You would think this executive [...]
Spring Break Success!
SBXI – college slang for Spring Break 2011- is something I have looked forward to all semester. The big break. The half-way point. An overall culmination of relaxation, enjoyment and spontaneity. But for me, this spring break was very different than my typical routine – I actually traveled somewhere!!! Yes, this year I made it [...]
Half Way There, Half Way Gone
HALF WAY TILL SUMMER!!! Well, that was my first reaction when I heard that we were half way done with the semester. My next one was more of shock… Oh my gosh…. Half way till being done…forever. Everyone starts asking, “Oh, are you excited to graduate?” I answer, “Meh.” I’ve decided I am indifferent and [...]
Tears for Tradition
I’ve been to Fish Camp. I’ve gone to Midnight Yell. I’ve gotten my Aggie ring. And as I look at the things I have yet to accomplish I’ve still found voids. As of Tuesday night I can add one more great Aggie tradition to my list – but I must say you will think I am a horrible for having waited until now…
There’s an App for That…
“Tell me about yourself”
What a loaded and vague question! But I assure you dear readers, you will hear this 9 times out of 10 in any interview setting. Where do you start? Where do you end? Do you focus on your home-life or college life? It’s still a mystery to me.
How can you fit 20+ years of growth, experience, goofiness, credibility, personality and wit into a 2-3 minute description of Y-O-U? See what I mean?
