Howdy, y'all.

15 Signs You're From The Lone Star State Of Texas

Texas, a state that was once it's own country, where you can find Texas shaped waffles, great Tex-mex, and large amounts of pride. It is easy to tell Texans apart from the rest of the country, and here's how:


1. Y'all is a common word in your vocabulary

You all? No, it's y'all.


2. Tex-Mex is always an option

Chinese? Nah, not today. Tex-Mex is where it's at. What is Tex-Mex, one may ask? Mexican food made in Texas, and there's nothing like it.


3. Margaritas are your go-to drink

Margaritas are the best thing to drink with that yummy Tex-Mex. But take it slow, because like the song says, tequila makes her clothes fall off.


4. Football is life

Football isn't just a sport. It is a religion, a way of life.


5. You drive a truck

As said before, everything is bigger and better in Texas.


6. You greatly depend on rain to come through for you

You often find yourself wishing for those flood waters so that you don't have to go to work or school. When it rains, it pours.


7. Spare time is spent at the rodeo


Whether it be Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, or any of the other rodeos that take place in Texas. It's ritual to attend and go big or go home.


8. Queso is your addiction

To many, queso is just a word that means cheese. To Texans, queso is Heaven in your mouth. With chips and queso, it's eat it all or eat none. Once you start, you cannot stop.

9. You love Blue Bell

I think the Blue Bell recall hit Texans harder than any other state. Texas saw hope again once Blue Bell was restored.


10. Mums make you broke

At some point, we have all experienced the deathly cost of a mum at homecoming time. It's a Texas tradition. Once again, go big or go home.


11. Whataburger is your hangout spot after a long night of partying

Did someone say Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit at 2am? Yes, please!


12. Floating the river is a form of vacation

Whether it be the Guadalupe, Comal, Brazos, or even the San Marcos river, nothing is better than a little (or a lot, we're is Texas) sunlight, country music and beer on a beautiful summer day.


13. You enjoy Schlitterbahn

No matter how old or young, Schlitterbahn is always a good time.


14. You change your outfit multiple times a day due to the weather

It's cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon and raining tomorrow. It's impossible to have the perfect outfit suitable for Texas weather.


15. You love Buc-ee's

I would just like to know.. what kind of human being are you if you don't stop at Buc-ee's? No a Texan that's for sure.


Texas: where everything is bigger and better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
