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

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.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
