Top 8 Smells To Make You Miss Aggieland

1. The smell of grad students heating an assortment of foods in the hallway. Every day at noon, an aroma of fragrances combines around the communal microwave. In one whiff, a passerby can experience lo mein, leftover Taco Bell, and meal-prepped chicken and asparagus all at once.

2. The smell of a musty, rain-soaked cadet’s uniform. Even though using an umbrella is allowed, the cadets are still too hard to do it.

3. The smell of food in a study area where it never belonged. You know the horrific moment when someone opens their Panda Express container and fills the peaceful study area with the vivid smell of inauthentic Chinese cuisine?

4. The smell of that guy who silently farts 10 minutes into lecture every Monday and Wednesday at exactly 9:20 A.M.

5. The smell behind Sbisa. It combines the scent of the plant across the street, pollution, and mass-produced food, sort of like if a sewer and a french fry had a love child.

6. The smell of vomit and flat beer at a ring dunk. This backyard will never be the same.

7. The smell of your friend trying to be Joanna Gaines when people come over. Are there cookies in the oven? Is this a Volcano candle? Do you always have baby’s breath in a mason jar on the table?

8. The smell of Aggie Spirit sweating onto every cloth surface, most notably on the cloth seats of the Aggie Spirit bus itself.
