As a Texan, I have always been proud to call Texas home-- as most of my fellow Texans are. It was not until I moved to Arkansas for school four years ago that I realized how proud we really are. Although I have fallen in love with Arkansas, Texas will always be home and I have so many reasons to be proud of where I come from.
Here are 15 reasons why Texans love Texas so much:
1. Everything is bigger.
2. How patriotic we are.
Along with the American flag being everywhere you look, the Texas flag is right below it.
3. Sports
Friday night football is like a religion.
4. The fact that we can be a country.
Although it may never happen, we always have that in our back pocket.
5. George Strait
The king of country music calls his home Texas just like the rest of us.
6. BBQ
7. The State Fair
8. Sweet Tea
9. Buc-ees
It is so much more than just any convenience store and Texas is the only place blessed to have them.
10. Tex-Mex
Mexican food in Texas is so good, it has become its own category of food.
11. Whataburger
12. Beyoncé
If you haven't heard Queen B's new album Lemonade, she makes it clear that she is from Texas and proud of it.
13. The rest of the world can thank Texas for bringing them Blue Bell, Shiner Bock, and Dr. Pepper.
14. Even Davy Crockett told Congress:
