Midterms have been completed, the leaves are orange, and AGGIE PRIDE is at an all-time high.
With exams completed and all of the festive ingredients present, North Carolina A&T Homecoming 2009 has magically appeared!
Not all students have school spirit, but homecoming is a time where a strong sense of family, community, and school pride is sure to exist.
"This year, I would rate my AGGIE PRIDE at a seven. But when its homecoming, it will be a 10," says Greg Bodmer, a sophomore criminal justice major at A&T.
Q: Are you excited about homecoming?
A: I am very excited for homecoming because of all the events throughout the week. Also, I am excited about homecoming due to the fact that I will be able to party and have fun with friends. This is the one time the whole semester that our schedules actually coordinate.
Q: What events do you plan on attending?
A: I plan on attending the Pep rally, comedy show, coronation, and the game
Q: Rate your AGGIE PRIDE on a scale of one to 10.
A: This year, I would rate my AGGIE PRIDE at about a seven. When it comes to homecoming it will be a 10. During homecoming, you can't help but get pumped and have school spirit.
Q: Do you think you'll enjoy homecoming more as a student, or an alumnus? Why?
A: I feel that I will enjoy homecoming more now because I'm surrounded by my closest friends and we are all together. Granted, it will be fun to see how the future homecomings will be, but I feel like my undergrad homecomings will be the most memorable.
Q: What will be your favorite event? Why?
A: My most favorite event during homecoming will have to be the game. First off, even before the game is the best tailgating in the world. Everyone comes out and that's where AGGIE PRIDE is perfectly exemplified. There's so much great food and conversations between generations. During the game, every student is in the stands full of AGGIE PRIDE, while the band is blasting out the opponent and showing off why they are the best. The football team is on the field making everyone proud. And after the game, win or lose, it's all an experience like none other.
Bodmer continued by explaining that AGGIE PRIDE is a way of life. Don't fight the feeling; catch it.
