The hardest goodbye I’ve ever had to say

This will be my 391st article for The Battalion. It has been 1,334 days since I was first hired as a sports writer on Sept. 18, 2017, and what an incredible (almost) four years it’s been. I’ve...

The days are long, but the years are short

Freshman year Emily arrived in Aggieland incredibly ambitious, yet arrogant. As a third generation Aggie that spent a lot of weekends in College Station growing up, I was excited to finally be a student...

Photo Chief Meredith Seaver graduates on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m.

7 years in the making

By Meredith Seaver @MeredithSeaver December 6, 2020

My time here in Aggieland has been anything but ordinary – starting as a 17-year-old fish in khaki, and finishing as a 25-year-old in a t-shirt and jeans. If you told me back then I wouldn’t...

Assistant photo chief and marketing senior Kaylee Cogbill will graduate on Dec. 10 at 2 p.m.

Where dreams blossom

By Kaylee Cogbill @kayleecogbill December 6, 2020

I can’t believe this day has finally come; the day I’ve always dreamed of, without knowing that this is what I wanted all along. I went to my first Aggie football game when I was just six months...

Photographer Angelina Alcantar graduates on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 9 a.m.

Finding my home

Texas A&M University was not at the top of the list of colleges that I wanted to attend. It was not even my second choice. When I started my first semester, I did not think that I would ever find my...

Managing editor Camryn Lang graduates on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m.

The next chapter

By Camryn Lang @CamrynLang December 6, 2020

While my college career could be broken down into four years, I can’t help but see it differently. To me, every moment is a collection of stories that led me down a new path and incited change. I’ve...

Special sections editor Jane Turchi came to A&M as a transfer student, but quickly found her place through studying abroad and The Battalion.

Up for the challenge

By Jane Turchi @JaneTurchi May 4, 2020

Like many graduates, my time in college was filled with late nights, long test days and studying, but as I look back on my time at A&M what I remember most happened outside the classroom. I feel so...

News editor Sanna Bhai has worked at The Battalion for eight semesters and was a part of each desk during her time at the newspaper.

On to the next chapter

By Sanna Bhai @BhaiSanna May 4, 2020

Where do I begin? There are not enough words to describe my Aggie Story. In the words of Charles Dickins, ‘it was the best of times, it was the worst of times…’ I came to A&M with...

Multimedia editor Robert Castro (center) thanks the friends he made in Aggieland for the many memories he's made along the way.

The long, meditative drive

Every time I drive from my hometown in Brownsville, Texas, to College Station I find myself reminiscing back to the long road I had throughout my college career. I can still remember the feeling I had...

Assistant sports editor Jackson King covered A&M sports through print journalism as well as a podcast during his time at The Battalion.

An unexpected journey

One thing I have learned over time is when you put in enough effort, life tends to make things work out in the end. When I visited the Texas A&M campus in February of 2015, I knew I wanted to end my...

Editor-in-chief Samantha Mahler majored in agricultural communications and journalism, but did not write a single article about cows.

Good ol’ days

In the finale of “The Office,” Andy says, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good ol’ days before you’ve actually left them.” I’ve known my time...

Life & arts editor Hollis Mills says goodbye to his coworkers, including a very squished news editor Sanna Bhai.

Here’s to you, Aggieland

It’s been easy to be cynical about the current moment. I’m not graduating under ideal circumstances. I don’t have a job lined up after college. I’m the most out of shape I’ve...
