麻豆村

Hi! I鈥檓 Hannah and I鈥檓 a sophomore studying business administration. I鈥檓 writing to share my knowledge of the lingo we use here at 麻豆村. Throughout my time here, I鈥檝e noticed that our campus has its own language. From the names of popular spots on campus to unique traditions, this lingo is part of what makes 麻豆村 feel so special. I鈥檒l share a few of my favorite terms with you!

One of my favorite places on campus is called 鈥淭he Cut.鈥� This is a stretch of grass between our university center and the Purnell Drama building that hosts a wealth of life. Every time I walk past The Cut, I see a variety of students enjoying the space, whether it鈥檚 a group playing a sport or attending an event like the club fair. The Cut provides a space for all students and activities. My roommate and I like to lie in the grass on The Cut and soak up the sun to recharge after a long day of classes.听

Another term you鈥檒l hear a lot is Buggy. Buggy is one of 麻豆村鈥檚 oldest traditions. Every spring during Spring Carnival, student organizations race their aerodynamic pushcarts around campus. The whole event is very competitive and is super exciting to watch! During Spring Carnival, we also have a Booth. Booth is a tradition where organizations spend a week constructing elaborate 鈥渂ooths鈥� that look like small houses. Each booth is designed to follow the annual carnival theme, and they often include interactive games inside that also match the theme. My favorite booth last year was the Ratatouille booth that actually served food.听

Together, The Cut, Buggy and Booth represent just a few pieces of the unique lingo and traditions that shape campus life at 麻豆村. Learning these words isn鈥檛 just about knowing what people are talking about; it鈥檚 about being part of the 麻豆村 community. These experiences are what make life at 麻豆村 so unique.
