1. You’re bored. All the time.

2. Everyone goes to Whataburger after football games, because it’s the only decent place open past 10.

Every Friday you and your friends ended up here.

3. You probably go to school with your cousins.

No one leaves B-county. If your whole family is there, you will be there for longer than desired.

4. You see every movie that comes out because again, there’s nothing else to do.

Not to mention you sneak in the most random food, because the movie theatre makes it way too easy.

5. The Brazoria County Fair is the Fall’s biggest event.

And you go, even though you hate the smell of animals and rides make you want to vomit. But you can never seem to make yourself miss out on this annual event. Also, we’ve all heard the horror stories related to the Zipper, so why do people still ride it???

6. You take pride in the fact you know the owner of Buc-ee’s.

7. You probably didn’t even know this, but the really awesome cookies called sweeties, yeah that’s a B-county thing (this is what I’ve learned in college).

And we all know that Mrs. Mona makes the best Sweeties. Don’t try to argue with me on that; you’ll lose.

8. You travel to go to the beach because the one 15 minutes from you is disappointing, to say the least.

And no, Galveston is not any better.

9. Dow Chemical.

That’s all I need to say about that one.

10. At least one of your parents probably went to high school with some of your friend’s parents.

I didn’t experience Brazoswood, but boy, does my dad have some stories about his Bwood “glory days” (pictured above).

11. You always get asked if there’s actually a lake where you live.

When you are traveling, and you tell people where you’re from they ask if there’s actually a lake. You have to think about this for a second, because for half of your life you weren’t even sure if there was one. Let’s be honest no one touches that lake, it is nasty.

12. “City of Enchantment.”

More like city of entrapment.

13. You wonder how such a small city can have so many grocery stores.

Pooh is right; and with all our grocery stores, you won’t have trouble finding some food.

14. Everybody you know either works at Chick-fil-a or is there when you choose to eat there.

And you probably saw them at Chick-fil-a.

15. No one really knows how to properly pronounce Asiel’s.

It’s okay, we can all be confused together.

16. You’d really like to talk to the guy who came up with the street names. This Way, That Way, Circle Way, Parking Way, Winding Way, and plants; lots of plant names.

Again, we can all be confused together.

17. La Casona vs. El Toro is a daily debate.

La Casona salsa with El Toro food would be the perfect Mexican restaurant, honestly.

18. TDECU is not pronounced as individual letters T-D-E-C-U but as one word.

Ask me if you would like to hear the proper way to say it (I take credit for the creation of this word).

19. You spend your days dreaming and praying for the day you get to leave.

20. But once you do, you always come back and are thankful for the community you grew up with; in a town that is home and will always be.

Plus, we miss our moms; like a lot.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
