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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
