Geaux Tigers!
I never thought I would say that with enthusiasm and excitement. Growing up, coming to LSU was my worst nightmare. I had my heart set on going to Tulane (at the time it was a better school). I didn't want to go to a state school - I thought there was some horrible stigma about it, that it was a "bad" school.
Be careful what you wish for - I got a scholarship to Tulane and attended for a semester. I hated it. It was a colossal waste of time and money. My decision to transfer to LSU was based solely on the fact that I had lots of advanced standing credit here and the TOPS program covered my tuition completely.
Best half-assed decision I ever made!
I love it here - the oak trees, the friendly student body, tailgating before a football game, having a picnic by the campus lakes on a pretty spring day, flying kites on the parade grounds, Retro-active night at the Varsity, making party cups for different events, jogging down sorority row, seeing my boyfriend all dressed up in his band uniform before a football game, CEBA, eating at Cane's, riding around aimlessly because there's nothing else to do...all of it!
