Thursday night Karaoke at TDs or Keith Street Friday happy hour. I was a Mkt major so spent a lot of time in Sirrine Hall so I would go and most of the professors were there too for happy hour, so I think I was able to grease the wheels a bit with my professors over beers which may or may have not tipped the scales in my favor. My junior and senior year I lived in a condo on Finley St right behind Keith St so it was perfect. Thats all gone now.

Best place on campus was people-watching on Bowman or the park outside of Sirrine Hall. Lived in Johnstone F-Annex my freshman year.... remember going to the post office or the laundry room behind it. Watching the ROTC kids where they used to have the ROTC HQ. I made friends with the lunch ladies at Harcombe so I would always get extra french fries on the grill line and would always take a to-go lunch with me to snack on later in the day.

Loved go to lift at Fike and would go on jogs around Riggs Field at night.

Majix Dogs at Majix Mart were always a good call after last call.

Saturday night 1201s.... Unless you were going to the Top of the Tavern and had that VIP membership.. hahahaha

Staying up all night eating Papa John's pizza in Johnstone playing Tiger Woods on Nintendo or Sega all night.

9.99 cases of Natty Light or $50 kegs of Keystone Ice.

Freshmam year (1995) getting double the football b/c the Panthers played at DV in their first year.

Baseball games in the spring tailgating in right field.

Charlie T's on the lake

The riot in Daniel Square in 1999/2000 that made the news.

I attended Baylor. Baylor is in Waco, Texas. Waco is a litter box.

So imagine a bunch of uptight Baptist kids with raging hormones and massive guilt complexes sharing the same four-square-mile section of said sandbox for four years.

However, these are a couple of decent memories in no particular order:

*jogging counter-clockwise around the Bear trail right around the time all the sorority girls would walk/jog clockwise around the Bear trail.

*playing Sega NHL hockey with my dorm mates before going to class in the morning or before hitting the library in the evening. Some of my dorm mates would play right on through all their classes, such was their commitment to achieving Sega greatness. They weren't at Baylor very long.

*$0.74 bean burritos from the Taco Bell by campus. Back when all the money you needed for dinner could be dug out of the ash tray in your pickup truck.

*my German professor. This dude had married an American gal and fled the Soviet bloc and gotten his degrees and citizenship in the U.S.. He'd been in the Hitler Jugend. And while by then he must've been in his mid-60s, he was still a very severe, very scary man.

But not without his upside because in addition to teaching us all how to say "Ich nehme eine letzen Spaten" along with some catchy Wehrmacht marching/drinking songs, he also taught us that being a scary former Nazi is no way to go through life.
