5 Reasons The Houston Rodeo Should Be On Your Bucket List

Over the last couple of weeks, an annual Texas traditional once again took place: the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With over 2 million people visiting and thousands of volunteers, the Rodeo is more than just boots and cowboy hats. Here are just a few reasons the Houston Rodeo should be on your list of things to see in your life.

1. The concerts.

Whether you're a die-hard country music fan or just there for the experience, the concerts at the rodeo are unforgettable and incredible.

2. All of the possible food you can imagine... but fried.

This is an Oreo. Fried. And covered in powdered sugar.

3. You may find your long lost twin.

Or at least have a good time at the petting zoo.

4. Rides and games as far as your eyes can see.

Just make sure you don't eat too many of those fried Oreos before going on any super-fast-spinning rides (oops).

5. Mutton Bustin'.


Little kids hanging onto sheep as they run around a stadium. Could there be anything cuter?

And there you have it — just a few of the reasons the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo should be on your bucket list!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
