Texas Tech University - La Ventana Yearbook

“r Ah, Tech . . . Back to school, back to books, back to beer and Monday Night Foot- ball. Back to registration hassles, roommates and an orange dorm room (and the carpet Mom bought you is bright Texas Tech red). V ' ou bring the first load of stuff from your car (the stereo, of course — you must have music while you work) and wait for the ele- vator to get down from the sixth floor. Then comes the fun part — cramming 20 people and their junk onto one ele- vator, to go back up to the sixth floor. Finally, you ' re unpacked. You have your schedule worked out — football Monday night, pledge meeting and " Happy Days " Tuesday night. Ladies Night Wednesday night, and so on through the week. Have to see Star Wars one last time before classes start. Have to get the gang together and go party. You also have to buy books and see your faculty adviser, but first things first. Your laundry ' s clean, you still have some of the cookies Mom made for you, and you have yet to spend the $20 Dad slipped you as you said goodbye. Life ' s looking up. Time to round up a few friends and go check out the dorm food. As if it had improved over the summer. Ten p.m. Time to hit the Der, go cruising for a while. Time to get back into college life. ”
