Texas: What's So Great About It?
Wikia

The following is really a list in progress of everything there is to love about Texas that I brainstormed while moving to Tampa for college. Feel free to add to the list which I hope you do. I'm sure I left out plenty.

I don't know what it is about Texas, but as soon as you leave, you miss everything about it.

1. Sweet Tea

No where else in the world can you get sweet tea with just the right amount of diabetes in it.

2. Whataburger, Tex-Mex, Bluebell ice cream, Dr. Pepper, and BBQ.

I know some of these aren't exclusive to Texas, but they either originated there or Texas just has the best version of it.

3. Beyoncé, the Dixie Chicks, Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, 3 members of PTX, and Selena Gomez.

All of these amazing and talented people came from Texas (along with many more), Texas just makes em' the best.

4. The 2nd largest state.

Bigger is better.

5. Southern hospitality.

People in Texas just treat you better than anywhere else.

6. Everyone from Texas loves Texas and loves being from Texas.

7. It has really cool cities like Dallas and Austin.

8. Six Flags Over Texas

9. The Texas State Fair.

Every year there is a new fried food, amazing.

10. All American sports teams like the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys "America's Team."

11. The bluebonnets that bloom every year that everyone goes and takes pictures with.

12. Amazing vintage and antique shopping.

13. Everything is bigger in Texas.

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?

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
