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.
