11 Ways To Annoy A Texan
alllenall

As a Texan who has lived in multiple places around the world, I can confidently say that nothing grinds the gears of a Texan quite like these:

1. Having speed limits under 75.

Anything less than that is just slower than molasses. What’s even the point? Okay, mayyyyyyybe 70. But even that’s pushin’ it.

2. Claim that any drink is better than sweet tea. Or Dr. Pepper. Or say that Mr. Pibb is the same thing as Dr. Pepper.

Because false.

3. Be a vegetarian, or even worse, a vegan.

You are eating the food that my food eats. I do not understand.

4. Complain about it being hot when it’s less than 95 degrees outside.

We were born on the sun, we grew up on the sun, Texas is the sun.

5. Try to convince us that guns are unnecessary and violent.

Just like the computer didn't delete Hillary's emails, the gun did not pull it's own trigger. You will not succeed in convincing us of your ridiculous opinion, you silly little liberals.

6. Assume that because we wear cowboy boots and eat BBQ on a regular basis that we are just hicks from some hick town in some hick area of our hick state. (PS: don't call us hicks)

Cowboy boots go with everything, and they never go out of style, so, move out of my way, you Chaco wearing granola bar.

7. Tell us that the BBQ or Mexican food from any other state is “just as good.” Or that In-n-Out is just as good, or better, than Whataburger.

Nope. Just nope.

8. Make a stupid “everything’s bigger in Texas” joke.

9. Go to Austin, and then claim you’ve been to Texas.

No, darlin’, ya haven’t. We love Austin and all, but it's the only place in Texas that looks like a combination of Orange County and Seattle. You might want to take a drive through literally anywhere else in the state before you announce that you've "seen Texas."

10. Listen to Taylor Swift and then proceed to profess your love for country music.

It’s George Strait or it’s buh-bye.

11. Assume that just because we say “y’all” and “all y’all” and speak with a twang, we are not as intelligent as the rest of the U.S., much like this gem named Cliff:

Okay, Cliff, or should I say Tugs? The only thing this comment does is show that you have clearly never been to Texas. Please do us all a favor and take your ignorant rhetoric elsewhere. I'm not even sure where you got this false information from. But it has to be environmental, which must mean you're from Oklahoma. Yikes.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
