THE BATTALION
The first week of school is enough to give
anyone an anxiety attack.
There are plenty of ways to calm the stress
of the prospect of another school year and
start off right.The first thing to do this week is
hang out on campus.
Glenda Garcia, a senior marketing major,
said the first week of school brings activities
to campus that happen only during that week.
“There are cheap T-shirts and free Koozies
being handed out everywhere,” Garcia said.
“When I was a freshman, I couldn’t believe
all the people in the MSC who just wanted to
give me free stuff.”
Gig ’Em Week is one example of the activ
ities on campus. The Department of Student
Life provides this opportunity for students to
become familiar or reacquainted with A&M.
Aggies can attend educational and social
events to learn more about the campus.
Monday night is All-U Night at Kyle Field
where students will be welcomed to the
University. All-U Night will be followed by a
concert with a live band and an opportunity to
meet the varsity sports teams. For more infor
mation about Gig ’Em week events, visit the
student life Website at
http://studentlife.tamu.edu. *
Another thing to do this week is look
around for attractive people on campus.
Don’t just look — scope them out. Scour
that 8 a.m, class for a reason to get up in the
morning. Find someone in each class who
makes it worth going. A lot of students look
better during the first week than they will the
rest of the semester.
Matt Krocka, a senior agricultural business
major, said many people get up and ready for
class during the first week of school. After
that, they tend to sleep in and take less care
with their appearance, he said.
“You end up wearing shorts and flip-
flops because it’s not worth losing the extra
sleep to get up and look nice just for class,”
Krocka said.
Austen Thompson, a junior forestry
major, said meeting the opposite sex in a
classroom environment can possibly lead
to a study partner or a fun date.
“Studying together can be a pre-date,”
Thompson said. “There’s no pressure when
you’re just studying together and you can get
to know the person better.”
Students can take advantage of the
light homework load of the first week. Go
out at night and have fun with your
friends, but avoid partying so hard that
you start skipping class.
Jennifer Kezar, a sophomore general stud
ies major, said staying out late the first week
of school can turn into a bad habit during the
school year. If you skip class at first, it
becomes easier to skip more often, she said.
“Once you get in the habit of going out a
lot, class becomes less important,” Kezar
said. “Going out is fun, but people should
realize that school is really
why we’re all here in the first
place. I know firsthand,
because I started out as a busi
ness major, and now I’m in
general studies.”
Kevin Tannahill, a senior
accounting major, said he
likes to go out to Northgate
the first week of school to see
all his friends who have been
gone all summer.
“Northgate is a place that
everyone should go to during ^
the first week of school,” he
said. “I always see people I
know, and we catch up on what
we did all summer.”
Another way to spend the
first week of school is prepar
ing for the semester ahead.
Make sure you have the
required texts and materials for
every class. Being prepared
for class can be a key to suc
cess for many Aggies.
Eric Moore, a senior con
struction science major, said
he buys his books after the
first day of classes so he can
get exactly what the profes
sor requires.
“Sometimes professors
don’t require a book the bookstore gives
and it can save an extra trip hack to re:
stuff you won’t need,” he said.
