Traditions

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.

• "Hit me"
• Running to seminar so that Gruver doesn't yell at you
• Texas Academy of Misplaced Stuff
• TAMS W's / TAMS L's. Or as I like to call it, The Duality of Man
• 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
• Cramming onto the D-Park bus
  • Which is especially unfortunate for the sad, sad CS track people during the hot, hot summers
• Abi Kumar's post-bio cookies (2019-2020)
• Running to CVS
• TAMS Vans
• 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.
• Hanging out in the A200 wifi corner after curfew
• Flocking to Bruce for breakfast after 8 AM bio
• Bruce Waffle Wednesdays
• Bruce's birthday celebrations every Wednesday
  • And consequently, cake every Wednesday
• Halloween
  • Free Insomnia Cookies

• Sleepovers in that friend's room that has a rug
  • Sleeping in a friend's room because neighbors are too loud
• Realizing that you forgot your ID when it's lunchtime and sneaking into dining halls by "borrowing" a friend's ID

• Card swipes (and frantically telling friends that Melissa is standing threateningly at the entrance with the menacing black box and laptop in her hands)
• Watching movies with friends at the Business Leadership Building over the weekend
• 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
