^ arguably the best known abbreviation at Tufts, maybe outside NQR lol

When I found out I was going to Tufts, everyone was like “That is so…ironic,” because I’m just under 5 feet and just under 100 pounds. Except for one friend, who said “You should get a T-shirt that says JUMBOS, right across your chest.” hahahahah

I think it’s kind of annoying, though, that tour guides are required to say some crap about how Jumbo was named one of the most unique mascots by Sports Illustrated or something…WHO CARES? I feel like they’re weakly trying to appeal to people who will be rah-rah-sports-school-spirit. Personal opinion.
