1. You get made fun of for being from Texas, because SpongeBob made an episode about it.

I'M UNIQUE, OK :D

2. You instantly find yourself preparing for the worst:

REAL cold weather, not fake Texas cold weather.

And looking something like this:

Ron Swanson= your new spirit animal. #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyway

3. Telling yourself you signed up for this.

Literally, like you accepted your admission and your parents are paying for your tuition. And you're on your own in a ~whole new world~. But at least you have good ~views~, right? I think Drake would be proud.

4. Getting made fun of for wearing size Large t-shirts and not being able to see your shorts.

I've been brainwashed by the Southern culture. Sorry not sorry.

5. Missing the greatness that is Whataburger.

But, it's ok because you brought your number tent with you to remind you of where your heart really is. #HBCB forever. That's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit for those who aren't Texan. And yes that is mouthwatering.

6. You love Texas, but you kinda don't wanna go back home.

Because mountains. And actual seasons. And great views at Horsetooth Reservoir. And skiing.

7.You jump on the Denver Broncos bandwagon.

Still love you Cowboys. But the Broncos are awesome. And Von Miller. Observe.

#horsepower

8. Texas comes to you. TORCHY'S.

If you've never been,Torchy's is originally from Austin, Texas, and is amazing. It's located in Foothills Mall right next to Smashburger. Get the Trailer Park ("Trashy" style), and an order of Chips and Queso. You will not be disappointed.

9. Less Dr.Pepper to find on campus. Very sad, but the grocery stores are abundant.

10. Last but not least, you get addicted to Silver Grill. Best Fort Collins gem, hands down.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast. Need I say more.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
