The Magic of Music

   Nothing perhaps encapsulates so much about the American college system like Patriot Idol. For those who do not know, Patriot Idol is one event that makes up the tapestry of Homecoming celebrations. Homecoming, much like how an Emperor would return to Rome in glory, sees current students and faculty engage in events to commemorate/celebrate alumni, current students, and the University of Texas at Tyler itself.

Homecoming is looming!

                Orange floods the fields, food smells engulf the air, and people crowd the campus. Homecoming is almost here! It will be packed with different opportunities for students to feel the Patriot pride! This may not be high school anymore, and there may not be mums or garters, but students still come together to show pride in our school and enjoy these activities with friends.

Free Concert- Marina and the Diamonds Kicks Off Homecoming!

It's Homecoming Week here at UT Tyler, and it is always distracting for me. As an English major, I'm planning my final papers now. I find it difficult to buckle down to work with events happening every night this week!

Marina and the Diamonds visited us for the opening of our Homecoming! It was a huge secret for months, I'm guessing, but CAB started spreading the news the week prior. I didn't get to go, but my friend Ashley took a really cute video! 

Homecoming!!!

                So far, college is a lot like I expected it to be, but very different at the same time! So next week is officially homecoming week here at UT Tyler , and I’m, simply put, ecstatic. I haven’t yet experienced what a college homecoming is like, but I’ve heard stories about it.

                Some people say that homecoming week is the most exciting and fun week of the entire fall semester, which is believable. My high school homecoming was almost always the most anticipated week of the semester for me. I’m hoping homecoming is as exciting as people say that it is, and I’m pretty sure it will be.

                Since we don’t have a real football team here at UT Tyler, our homecoming game is a soccer game, which is good. Soccer is one of my all-time favorite sports, mainly because it’s so easy for me to understand. The game is on the Saturday of homecoming week, so we’re ending the week with a bang (or hopefully a goal !)
