There are countless traditions here at TAMS, and by creating this page, we're counting on future generations to keep them alive. Don't fail us.

Running to seminar so that Gruver doesn't yell at you
- "Early is on-time, on-time is late"
Card swipes (and frantically telling friends that Melissa is standing threateningly at the entrance with the menacing black box and laptop in her hands)
Cramming onto the D-Park bus
- Which is especially unfortunate for the sad, sad CS track people during the hot, hot summers
Skipping bio to escape the pain that is known as Crossley Lectures
- You didn't hear this from us

After curfew food runs with wing
Wing shirts
Staying in your senior mentor's room past Room Time
Sleepovers in that one friend's room that has a rug
- Sleeping in a friend's room because neighbors are too loud
- Sleeping in a friend's room because neighbors set something on fire
Hanging out in the A200 wifi corner after curfew

"Hit me"
Tabling and buying things even though we're all broke
Wall of Salt
Exec season
- Bribing friends with printers to print your exec apps because they're due at 11:59 PM but curfew is at 11:00 PM and the computer lab closes at 11:00 PM

After curfew food (brought to you by none other than TCS, or TAMS Culinary Society)
Free food at the front desk
- Typically, this includes leftover food from school-wide events
Abi Kumar's post-bio-exam cookies (2019-2020)

See also Dining

Walmart / Razor Ranch / Sharetea runs
Eating at the Taste, Oriental Garden (OG), Chipotle, or Denton Square for celebrations. Or just because you're sick and tired of eating the same dining hall food for weeks straight.
Flocking to Bruce for breakfast after 8 AM bio
Bruce Waffle Wednesdays
Bruce's birthday celebrations every Wednesday
- And consequently, cake every Wednesday

Texas Academy of Misplaced Stuff
TAMS W's / TAMS L's. Or as I like to call it, The Duality of Man
Running to CVS
Halloween
- Free Insomnia Cookies
- Discounted Chipotle
- Wing trick-or-treating
- Bruce Haunted House
Realizing that you forgot your ID when it's lunchtime and sneaking into dining halls by "borrowing" a friend's ID
Watching movies with friends at the Business Leadership Building over the weekend
TAMS Vans
- The godly vehicles that will take you to Walmart / Razor Ranch / Sharetea for Important Business, schools in Denton for volunteering, and Far Away Places for competitions
  - Especially for those Far Away Places that take hours to drive to, your legs and back will start making you feel like a #grandparent. TAMS Vans aren't known for their spacious leg room, but the memories that persist in these cramped white vans outweigh back pain any day.
