During my undergraduate experience at Texas A&M I learned this life changing fact, it is an honor to be an Aggie, something I would never change for the world. I was instilled with a passion to 'bleed maroon' that is part of who I am as a person.
As it turned out from my initial investigation into possible internships, the students at UC Davis are also 'Aggies,' just not maroon, or from Texas. Both insitutions were founded in part with a heavy agriculture focus. For Texas A&M it was half of it's focus, with the other half in 'mechanics.' As for UC Davis, agriculture was the primary focus of the founding of the institution, and because of such both school's students have always been reffered to as 'Aggis.'
First and foremost I will always be a Texas Aggie, but being able to work at a large public institution like Davis, and be surrounded by 'Aggies,' is not to shabby.
So for the time being it will not be so much of "Gig 'em Aggies," as it will be "Go Ags." At least for the summer. :)
