Who are these Critters you speak of?

On the Subject of College

After letting the world know of Reese's future intentions I feel it is only right to let everyone know that the girls have also made their decisions on future schools, although for very different reasons than Reese. It appears that we will not have a legacy that attends THE Florida State University. The Critters will not be able to check that every important legacy box on their college application. We will be a family of SEC'ers and a Big XII'er.

After long deliberation Carson has decided that she will be attending The University of Texas in Austin. As of now CarCar is still undecided what avenue she will pursue in college, she just knows that she will have a kickass time in Austin.



So as CarCar screams "Hook'em Horns" we can all start to sing the Fight Song of the University of Texas:
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And it's goodbye to A&M.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And we'll put over one more win.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, Go Horns Go,
And it's good-bye to all the rest!
Yea Orange! Yea White!
Yea Longhorns! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,

And it's good-bye to all the rest!

As will all decisions in the family we laid out all of the pros and cons of this decision by CarCar.

Pros:
1. Cool campus with great football program.
2. South by Southwest.
3. Quality Education.
4. Possibility of marrying the son of an oil tycoon.
5. Good BBQ.

Cons:
1. Tuition - but fear not CarCar will be exceptionally bright!
2. 14 hour drive.

On to the Hadster. She has decided to join her brother and attend an SEC school. Don't get your hopes up, its not that school down south! She will find herself partying in The Grove on Saturdays in the fall. According to Hadley she will be attending the University of Mississippi, affectionately known as "Ole Miss."


As with CarCar, Hadley has listed her major as undecided with a minor in partying. Me thinks she will be the wild child. So toss on a sundress or a button-down and khakis and join Hadley at the tailgate down in The Grove.



Pros:
1. The Grove.
2. The Grove.
3. The Grove.
4. Good Old Southern School.
5. Somewhat close to brother.


Cons:
1. The pesky issue of tuition.
2. Football team that folds like a cheap suit.


As you all can see the Critters will be spread out all throughout the Southeast. Fear not I have devised a plan in which we can get all of them to college. Unfortunately Rian and I will have to divide and conquer. I have a feeling that Rian will fly with CarCar to Austin, while I am left to drive brother and Hadster to their respective universities. I can't wait to be crammed in a car with Hadley and Reese and all of their dorm room accoutrements. The car will be bursting at the seams with twin extra-long sheets and comforters, computers, and God only knows what else. What exactly does a lady slayer take to school?


I know that you all are jealous of my Microsoft Paint skills.

Oh well, we have a few years to plan out our routes. CarCar and Hadley just wanted me to let you all know that they have made their decisions and feel free to mark your calendars for graduation.

  1. this is hilarious!! I do hope the girls at least follow Aunt Sister's footsteps and join Alpha Delta Pi ;) They could always check the legacy box!

  3. I think Ole Miss is a fine choice ;) Reason #1, however, for attending should be Ajax. BEST soul food in the South ... shrimp & grits to perfection.
