We are Texas A&M, College station. We are not Baylor.
A&M has a latent aura of impregnability about it. Maybe because of our history or maybe because of swarm of Corps of Cadets and Army on campus or maybe because of constant navigation of Aggie skies by jets or maybe just because of our pride in being Aggies.
It’s safe to feel safe here.


Last Wednesday Battalion’s news of a reported unwarranted hacking into our Open Access Labs system disturbed me. Maybe because I… Continue

Dear Mom,
I miss you. I hope Dad, Matt, Nathan, Will, Hollie and Mario are rocking. School is great, I’m partying, biking, playing football and attending all classes, so don’t worry. I’ve made a good friend here. Her name is Selma.

Not a soul to infuse life in Aggieland,
The sun goes down alone tonight,… Continue

Dear Mom,

I have made a good friend here. His name is Bob.

Bob. Bob is big. (My Chinese friend Kim x 1.4) + 50 lb = Bob. Even Bob’s girlfriend is 3” taller, 35 lb heavier and 2.5” wider than me. One day Bob smashed his hand in my living room wall. The wall has a $200 expensive crater now. I’m scared of Bob when he gets drunk.

Bob. Bob is ignorant. Bob thinks ‘Bhutan’ is… Continue
