✨another beautiful day of living on campus: waking up to this masterpiece ✨

the 2 chairs symbolize friendship and camaraderie, 2 longhorns carrying and supporting each other through hard times. they also represent our slogan of “hook em, hits home” 🤘🫶 “make it your texas, our texas”. the chair-ness also remind us to sit down and relax during this hectic final season.

is this surrealism? conceptualism? can anyone tell us what other messages did the artist want to convey?

🥳 another new series to better residents’ lives and spread positivity!!! wow

offer no-fail tips to improve your experience in the dining halls, no matter how cooked the chicken is.

today, we’re featuring this absolute banger of a side dish: tater tots/fries, sauce it up with your favorite hot sauce, and lattice with sriracha mayo from the sandwich station.

it’s crunchy, creamy, spicy, and has a good chew to it. i consistently have this with every meal! - mod 🦎

🧡 reminder: u can always find positivity and beauty even in the most unlikely of places - just look at this beautiful, serene, scenic view from Jester’s staircase 🥹 yes, THE JESTER’S STAIRCASE!

🧡 just here to remind y’all that whatever stressful situation you’re going through, it’ll be okay. registration + pre-finals might be one of those times that make us frustrated with this place, but your experience at UT and your worth are not confined to the system and its numbers.

🧡 we’re here to create such experiences and to remind you that you are loved no matter how you’re doing in class, that there always exists a home for you to come back to on this campus. if it feels hard right now, just look at the sky or go back to your dorm and cry. we’re there with you 🫂

tomorrow (a̵n̵d̵ ̵m̵a̵n̵y̵ ̵o̵t̵h̵e̵r̵ ̵d̵a̵y̵s̵)̵ will be a new day. (o̵f̵ ̵r̵e̵g̵i̵s̵t̵r̵a̵t̵i̵o̵n̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵n̵e̵w̵ ̵c̵h̵a̵n̵c̵e̵s̵)̵
