#9 FOOTBALL!!!!!!

This one is a little obvious! But perhaps the most important. Do not even think about missing out on ever going to a A&M football game at Kyle Field. And that means everyone. I promise there is nothing else like it. Where else can you brave the 100 degree heat at relatively high altitudes and watch an amazing football game in which the entire stadium is full of school spirit and yelling in sync to the five yell leaders on the field. Cultish??? Some may say so, but to me, it is special and fun. We might not have had the most amazing record for the past few years, but don't worry, the spirit is still alive, the people are still there, and football is still on. It may drain you of everything you have to stand up an entire game but at least we know that we are doing our part to support the team and be the "12th Man". 

Lets not forget about the best part of a football game.... TAILGATING!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, I realize every school has this, but lets keep in mind the amount of people who attend an A&M football game which is factored in to the amount of tailgates. The greatest thing about tailgates is the amazing people. I know I'm biased, but Aggies are very friendly and ready to have a good time at the game. If you aren't a big football fan, you will at least have a great time at a tailgate with all your friends before, during, and after. Don't miss out!

#& Texas Hall of Fame

If you are in College Station, you can NOT leave until you have been to the Hall of Fame! This dance hall is full of entertainment. With a collection of weekend performances there is always something to do. Thursday night is their well known college night where everyone dances all night long. You will always find someone to two-step with and if dancing isn't really your thing, you can always have some drinks, mingle, play pool, or just people watch. Trust me, if this isn't your kind of thing, you will still have a great time. They have great drink specials, especially on Thursday night. 

The Hall not only sponsors country groups, but Vanilla Ice performed there last semester. Also, there is going to be an amateur cage fight night in a few weeks hosted there as well. This large dance hall in bryan is a great location to have a good time and a legendary spot in Aggieland.

#6 NORTHGATE!!!!

That's right I said it... the ever famous NORTHGATE!!!!

Looking for a good time, well here it is. This popular strip of bars and restaurants is the perfect place to take your out-of-town guests, to celebrate a birthday, turn 21, or just hit up for a night out. My personal favorites, especially when it is warm outside, are Zapatos and The Corner. Zapatos has an outside area often has a band and lets not forget their trashcan Nachos! The Corner just recently added the rooftop as a bar. Not a bad spot to spend a springtime happy hour if you ask me. 

Among many other bars: O'Bannons with every type of beer possible and karaoke on Tuesday, Schotzis to watch live music and dance, Logans to hang out, Dixie Chicken and Dudleys Draw to play pool, Daisy Dukes to dance, Dry Bean to take shots, and many, many more. 

You will not have a bad time, I promise. Just make sure you are 21 and don't plan on driving if you drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just NOT worth it. 

#5 The Dixie Chicken

More Food!!!

I thought I would just stay on this subject one more time because EVERYONE knows that the Dixie Chicken is the MOST POPULAR place to eat in CS!!! I have heard before that the Dixie Chicken sells the only 2nd largest amount of beer per square foot following some place in Germany. Now, wether that is true or not, I don't really know, but exaggerations come from somewhere right? Basically what I'm trying to say is that you are most likely going to have a good time if you go there. 

This is another place to have great, cheap food. Let me go ahead and say that this is a bar (if you haven't figured it out yet) and their food is not healthy. My blog is not about that though so if you are looking for weight watchers, you might want to venture elsewhere. If you go to the Dixie Chicken (which you should if you haven't) please, please, please try the Tihuana fries! These cheese fries are life changing, probably because there is a great possibility you will have a heart attack after eating them. At least you will die happy, you have my word. 

This famous restaurant/bar is located in the heart of North Gate. There are many songs about it, and anyone who is anyone knows you need to go there. SO GO! Have a beer, eat dinner, play some pool, and mark it off your "Must Do" list because it should be at the top.
