1. One word: mums

For non-Texans, mums are a huge grouping of fake flowers that you pay a ton of money for to only wear one night.

2. Squatting in wildflowers on the side of the highway to take pictures

Did someone say bluebonnets?

3. Texans can eat Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

If you’ve ever had a breakfast taco outside the state of Texas, you haven’t actually had a breakfast taco.

4. Same goes for BBQ

Heard of brisket breakfast burritos?

5. Texas shaped waffles

Don't mess with breakfast.

6. Texas’ favorite pastime: football

Football isn’t a sport; it’s a lifestyle

7. All carbonated beverages are referred to as “Coke.”

But Dr. Pepper is the state drink.

8. Whataburger is best served between 12-3 a.m.

Tons of memories shared here.

9. If you can eat it, Texans will fry it

Butter, Oreos, bacon, and s'mores, just to name a few.

10. Our gas stations are like grocery stores

And stopping to take a picture with the beaver at Buc-ee's is a must on Texas road trips.

11. Road trips down I-35 always include a stop at the Czech Stop

Best kolaches EVER.

12. Bluebell is a staple

Ben & Jerry’s? No.

13. When you ask for tea, it’s automatically assumed you want sweet tea

Unsweet tea is for Yankees.

14. “Y’all” has many multiple contractions

Y’all’d’ve: You all should/would have.

All y’all: All you all.

Y’all’must’ve: You all must have.

15. Christmas dinner normally includes tamales

Forget the ham... it’s tamale time!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
