Digging for Gold.

This past weekend I got a very, very, very, very important ring. For you non-Aggies- no, it's not an engagement ring. It's my A&M Class Ring! :)

Here at the prestigious school (just kidding) of Texas A&M University, one earns their ring after completing, and of course passing, 90 credit hours. I'm only two years in, and I've earned my Aggie Ring! I know what you're thinking. Simple math, over 90 hours in only two years? How is that even possible? I have accumulated 104 credit hours over 4 semesters. In other words, I am a slave to my own education because I WANT TO BE DONE. My logic is, the quicker I do it, the quicker I'm out. So why not hurry? :)

So here's a little history for you. Texas A&M is a school built off of tradition. From our Yell Leaders to the Century Tree, this school has a tradition for almost everything. Of course, the Aggie Ring is a long standing tradition, and there are also certain traditions to be upheld when you receive it! Most importantly, you should dunk your ring to earn your rights to it! Dunking should be done in a pitcher of beer, chugged as quickly as humanly possible, even if that means you're wearing the beer immediately after.

For my Ring Dunk, all of my and Dustin's families came down to celebrate with my friends and I my ability to chug a full pitcher of beer in 1 minute and 1.3 seconds! WHOOP! :)

Here are some of the pictures from our fun weekend!

My mom and Dustin rock, papered, scissored to see who would present me my ring.

Dustin won.

Dustin's family and I, our honorary Aggies for the weekend!

My roommates and I showing off our awesomeness.

I went all out, nails and everything.

And the chugging begins. I kid you not, everyone was cheering me on so loudly that our next door neighbors literally watched me from their backyard, peeping their heads over the fence. It was amazing.

1 minutes and 1.3 seconds! I'm so redass! :)

Kaitlin got a beer hug! My main goal was to transfer as much beer as possible onto her shirt. I don't think I transferred any. But at least she got to enjoy the wetness for a moment! :P

It was such an amazing weekend with friends and family. And I'm so glad that I'm an Aggie, giving us a reason to have such an awesome weekend together!

XOXO
