Auburn University Recruitment 2014

[carnation]

Absolutely true: the year before I went to Auburn, the physical plant installed dozens of one-way bathroom windows backwards in the girls' dorms. It was several days before this was discovered.

OMG...how is that even possible?

Thanks for all the tips ladies! My shopping list is long, but I feel much better prepared for next week!

Yea I can't echo this enough. Reduce, reduce, reduce. Most of that crap first time college families pack will never see the light of day. Especially the "decor". Leave most of it home.

Here is what happens at Auburn: the freshmen come with tons of orange and blue stuff to decorate their room with. "Oh boy, I'm gonna have the most Auburn room ever!"

Then they pledge a sorority whose colors clash horribly with orange and blue. (That would be most sororities.) Then the orange and blue stuff tends to find its way into the closet.

Lolz you might be able to keep the blue stuff

Auburn has their home opener against Arkansas Labor Day weekend. I hope she's not going to miss it.

We need some good weather thoughts, prayers, & dances out there! Auburn forecast is 50% chance of rain/scattered thunderstorms all week....until Bid Day when it goes UP to 80%. Of course this doesn't stop it from being 88-90 degrees, too! Fans, umbrellas, and the good hairspray will be needed!
