A is for admissions. If you are able to read this, you have paid your tuition.
B is for Ball Hall. It’s just fun to say.
C is for Clement Hall. When your next class is in Mitchell Hall and after circling around campus for 20 minutes, you realize they are side by side.
D is for The Daily Helmsman (shameless self-promotion).
E is for the two electives that prevented spring graduation.
F is for freedom to leave class to use the restroom without permission.
G is for graduate students, lobbying hard for assistant positions.
H is for housing, which is easy to get if you can afford it.
I is for independence, from parents mostly.
J is for just barely turning in the report at 4:59 that is due at 5.
K is for key administrators who keep the school running smoothly.
L is for loans. Free money now, splitting headache debt payment later.
M is for McWherter Library TigerLAN Lab at exam time. Don’t bother coming, it is already full.
N is for nursing students clad in pastel scrubs.
O is for orientation. You will forget everything you were told by the first day of classes.
P is for parking, if any can be found.
R is for registration, an eternal cause of frustration.
S is for the Student Activity Fee in your tuition you never take advantage of.
T is for Tom II, whose blood runs true blue and gray.
U is for The University Center. Out with the old, in with the new.
V is for those who visit campus and seem to walk extra slow when you are late for class.
W is for Wilder Tower, the epicenter for student complaints.
Y is for yesterday when school was free.
Z is for Zach Curlin, where parking is available if you have the cash.
