If there's one thing I've learned about living in the great state of Texas all my life is that it's a very unique place to live compared to anywhere else in America and I think any Texan can agree.

1. Everything is bigger, literally

The egos, the food, the football stadiums, the smiles. If you ever get the chance to go to the Texas State Fair you'll know what I'm talking about.

2. It's "queso"

Having visited different states and seeing on their menus that they call it "cheese dip" is a complete disgrace.

3. Football... need I say more?

Football in Texas is more like a religion than anything else. If you're not spending your weekends in the fall at or watching an NFL, collegiate or high school game, what are you doing?

4. Whataburger

The ultimate after-football games experience.

5. Will I-35 ever be finished?

I remember when I was in eighth grade and a friend of mine said the construction would be complete in 2017. PSYCH.

6. Less than two centimeters of snow? School's canceled

This one is my personal favorite. I once got a full week off of school because the roads were "too slick." It was sunny and 55 degrees one of those days.

7. Tex-Mex for every meal is normal

It's normal, and it's good, what more could you want?

8. "Y'all" is in the everyday vocabulary

"Y'all're," "y'all'd've," "y'all's."

9. Getting out of Texas is the longest part of the road trip

Texas is so big that you know you're finally getting somewhere when you hit the border and are in a different state on your road trip.

10. Pictures on the side of the highway in a patch of bluebonnets

The state flower is the center for all family portraits, and they always seem to grow the most on the side of the highway.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
