The half-year birthday for the network that was supposed to change all networks came and went without the celebration many had anticipated back in August.
At that time, the biggest concern on the campus was whether Matthew McConaughey was comparing Longhorn culture to “pride and heat” or “dried meat” — both legitimate claims — in his iconic network-launching promo.
Students living on campus depend on the $1,700 that the Division of Housing and Food Services provides to feed them.

There I was, a senior in high school who, because of financial constraints, really had no say in her college decision. I had lived in Texas all my life, and I was stuck here for at least another four years.
