How Many Californians Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb at TCU? (Spoiler Alert: It's More Than You Think)
Ah, Texas Christian University. Land of the horned frogs (don't worry, they're more mascot than menace), endless iced tea, and... a surprising number of Californians? That's right, folks, it turns out TCU has a bit of a West Coast secret society brewing.
So, how many Californians are we talking about here?
Now, before you grab your cowboy hat and yell "California taking over!", let's get down to brass tacks. We're not talking about a TCU takeover by way of surfer dudes and Hollywood hopefuls (although, hey, maybe there's a killer drama club we don't know about). But, according to the latest intel, a cool 13.69% of TCU's student body hails from the land of avocados and earthquakes. That's a sizeable chunk of change, folks, and enough to make you wonder if they've all brought their own sourdough starter kits.
But Why TCU, California?
This is where things get interesting. Maybe it's the allure of escaping crowded beaches for a friendly Texas campus. Maybe it's the promise of barbecue that isn't just glorified jerky (sorry, California, we love you, but your BBQ situation needs work). Or perhaps it's the undeniable charm of the horned frog himself. Whatever the reason, TCU seems to be a magnet for Californians seeking a different kind of college experience.
The Great California Invasion: Friend or Foe?
Fear not, fellow Horned Frogs (both Texan and Californian varieties). This influx of West Coasters isn't cause for alarm. In fact, it might just be the secret sauce that keeps TCU exciting. Imagine the dorm room conversations: "Dude, these breakfast tacos are life-changing!" "Wait, you guys don't have In-N-Out here?" Cultural exchange at its finest, folks.
So, the next time you see someone sporting a Golden State Warriors jersey on campus, don't panic. Instead, offer them a friendly "Howdy" and maybe even a taste of some real Texas BBQ. Who knows, you might just make a new friend (and learn a thing or two about sourdough starters).
