Whataburger: A Fast Food Must-Have For Anyone Traveling Through The South
Wikipedia

School's out until September and we have all pretty much settled at home for the summer. Whether it’s with family or friends, some of us may also be travelling at some point during the summer. For those who are travelling either through or to the southern United States, I have a suggestion for you: Whataburger.


Whataburger can be found in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and most notably, Texas.

As a native to the region I can attest that Whataburger is the only clear option for a quick and somewhat cheap meal. The best part is that they’re all open 24 hours! I know it’s kind of cliche to say this about any fast food restaurant that isn’t McDonalds, but Whataburger really does have a better burger!

I don’t eat fast food much, but I really do get excited when I’m looking for something to eat at four am and drive past that beautifully lit orange building.

Anyways, this is just my humble suggestion. I know every region has the best restaurant, and I’m sure there is something out there that is better than Whataburger. However, if you find yourself in the South, I encourage you to try this place that has essentially been a staple to my adolescence.

Here’s a quick suggestion from the menu:

The Combo #13: Chicken strips are always a safe choice. The chicken strips at Whataburger really do put chicken strips at any other fast food restaurant to shame. You can get them with your choice of dipping sauce, whether that be ranch, BBQ sauce, or warm gravy. The meal also comes with a piece of Texas toast and fries. I suggest getting sweet tea as a drink. While you’re in the south, you might as well embrace the southern comfort food.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
