WHOOP

I am so proud to be an Aggie.

Such a deserving team,

a precious coach,

and a really great championship game.

Gig 'Em Aggies!

I always feel like somebody's watching me

My dear A&M,

I love you, but this is just a little bit creepy.
Thanks and Gig 'Em!

So so excited

4 days 'til College Station

WHOOP!!

Reason #9731

Reason #9731 why I love Texas A&M: the Aggie Spirit. Allow me to explain...

Today, while driving down Valley Mills (busy, main Waco street) I got that weird feeling that the people in the car next to me were staring. You know that feeling? So eventually I look over and my suspicions were confirmed- they were definitely creeping on me. But here's where the story gets better... apparently they were driving behind me at one point and must have noticed my Former Students sticker, which got them super excited. They pull up next to me and when I turn to look, they are almost plastered to their windows giving me the Gig 'Em. It was cute.

Now, I realize it is things just like this that gives A&M fans the reputation of being "brainwashed" and other derogatory comments, but I don't care; it warms my heart. I just think the Spirit of Aggieland is so neat and unique- how many other schools have that type of camaraderie? I notice other A&M stickers in Waco more often that I thought I would and it puts a smile on my face every time.

Thanks and Gig 'Em! Whoop!

Au revoir

Au revoir, aloha, adios, ciao, and goodbye College Station. After 4 very good years, I packed all my bags and moved out of my beloved little town.

I cannot believe how time flies. 4 years, 3 homes, and about 10 roommates have meant a lot of amazing times and precious memories! I can't help but feel a little nostalgic, thinking about all the time spent in College Station and at A&M. 4 years of Education classes with the same group of girls (well, 99% girls) is an experience I will never forget- after all, without those classes I would have never met my little soul mates, Amber & Morgan. Of course, there were ups and downs- 4 girls sharing one dorm bathroom says a lot; a few good dates and some very, very bad dates; 3 hour long dinner dates with my favorite girls discussing our student teaching woes; pulling horrible all-nighters for tests; standing through entire football games in the 468 degree weather... and those are just a few...

I have loved my life in College Station and am a little hesitant about the next chapter outside of the Brazos Valley bubble. I am so thankful for the time spent, friendships made, and things learned, I cannot even begin to put into words how much I will miss this part of life. But, it's on to new things and to Waco and Baylor graduate school for me, so I'm sure there are all kinds of experiences waiting for me in the next two years!

Au revoir, College Station!
