Huntsville, Texas, is a unique small town North of Houston, Texas, known as the prison city and home of the best school around, Sam Houston State University. Living in Huntsville is a major struggle, but the best blessing. Us Bearkats can relate to the daily life in this one-of-a-kind place.

1. You have multiple nicknames for Huntsville

Huntsvegas, Hunts, The Ville, the list goes on...

2. Thursday is your favorite day of the week

I don't know about you, but Thursday nights seem to always be the best. You either find yourself at Nasty's, The Fox or a good ole house party.

3. Sunday mornings are often spent at Hump's

You can't ever go wrong with those $1.50 breakfast burritos! "Might as well Hump." Us broke college kids have to feed ourselves on a budget.

4. Hills everywhere

Sometimes, I decide to skip class just because I don't feel like dealing with hills. #NOPE. But on days I do decide to go to class, I am able to pull a two in one. Throw on some running shoes and you've got yourself a workout while heading to class!

5. "Texas Kind of Way" is your theme song

If you don't get turnt to the part "Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville," do you even go to SHSU bro?

6. You hate SFA

Why? I'm not sure exactly. I just know that it's my job as a Bearkat to hate that school and anyone associated with it. Won't ever catch me wearing purple.

7. You casually live near a prison

You live near numerous prisons and it doesn't phase you. The prison sirens are a part of your daily routine, although you probably have no idea what they mean. Occasional executions take place right behind campus, and I think that's what makes us even more unique.

8. All your friends are CJ majors

Are you even a Bearkat if you don't have at least one friend who's a CJ major?

9. You actually pay attention to the speed limit

Cops, cops, cops everywhere. Good luck trying to speed in this town. They like to be sneaky and hide, so watch out.

10. The squirrels are your friends

Admit it, you've attempted to either touch or talk to the friendly squirrels at least once. I think the squirrels could basically be considered one of our mascots. I mean, we do hold memorials for the fallen squirrels.

11. Your car suffers constantly

All the hills, dips, and pot holes are slowly but surely destroying your car, and it's the most annoying thing ever.

12. We get no radio stations

Better hope you have that aux or you're screwed. Give your friend that aux so it can be fire!

13. There is nothing to do

There is literally nothing to do here, but we all somehow still find this town to be exciting and fun-filled.
