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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
