Six Reasons Why Texas Is Better

1. High School Football Games

Nothing says Texas more than the Friday night lights of high school football, complete with drill team, cheerleaders, a marching band and a loud student section. These games are some of the greatest things you will ever experience, especially rivalry games.

2. Tex-Mex

The holy grail in all things Texas. Tex-Mex is the food any Texan will run to given the chance, it is also the thing we miss the most when we leave Texas. Give me some enchiladas and queso, and I'm happy, not to mention unlimited amounts of free chips and salsa.

3. Whataburger

Although Whataburger can be found in other states, you won't find anyone more obsessed with the fast food chain than a Texan. Whether it's their honey butter chicken biscuits or collecting the plastic numbers, all of Texas loves Whataburger.

4. Schlitterbahn

The be-all end-all of waterparks. Located all around the great state of Texas, you can find the best of the best water slides, including the famous MasterBlaster at the original park in New Braunfels, Texas.

5. Homecoming

Homecoming in Texas isn't just a dance, it's a week-long event full of festivities including theme spirit days, pep rallies and obnoxiously large homecoming mums that jingle as you walk down the hallway. PSA: stop putting bells on your mum!

6. Professional Sports


Houston is home to some of the most popular sports teams in the nation. The Rockets always make Houston proud leaving everything on the court. The Texans are hard not to love when they have a player like J.J Watt. The Astros haven't had the best time the past few years, but this year, they are on top of things. The Houston Dynamo has taken everyone by storm making soccer more popular than ever in the Lone Star State. Dallas has the Mavericks owned by famous Shark Mark Cuban and also the world-famous Dallas Cowboys NFL team. Let's not forget the San Antonio Spurs who swept the 2014 NBA season bring home the championship trophy.

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.
