24 Signs You're From The Woodlands, TX

1. You've never had to mow your own lawn.

Because that would be too much work when you're already trying to balance school, extracurriculars and a social life.

2. When "Daddy's Oil Money" is a real thing.


Ninety percent of people's fathers work in the oil and gas industry.

3. You are so used to seeing Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis it's no longer exciting.

4. Elementary school kids have iPhones.

How else would they be able to tell mommy when their teacher is being unfair?

5. When people ask you where you're from you say Houston, and hope they don't press you any further.

You know the moment you say "The Woodlands" it's all over.

6. You walk into your high school and see an endless sea of Sperrys, Polo T-shirts and Lilly Pulitzer.

7. It's normal for families to own two or more homes.

Hey, let's go to my lake house for the weekend! Oh Spring Break? My house in Cabo is always available.

8. Your high school football stadium is larger than some college stadiums.

Every Friday night of your high school existence was spent here every fall.

9. The maids come every other week.

Yes I clean for the cleaning lady, because putting my possessions away and scrubbing the toilet would be too much work.

10. Your high school AP classes are harder than some of your college classes.

11. Your only option when hanging out with friends is going to Market Street or the mall.

The Woodlands is known as "The Bubble" for a reason.

12. Actually, the majority of your dates were at Market Street or the mall.

If he takes you somewhere that isn't a drive-thru or Chipotle, you know it's the real deal.

13. When a high school in your area is named the snobbiest high school in the country by David Letterman.

I mean, it is pretty accurate.

14. When another high school in your area is featured on TFM because it is indeed, that douchey.


Also accurate.

15. When people rent limos, beach houses and even helicopters for high school dances because they can

16. You're amazed when you go to other towns and their malls don't have nearly the quantity or quality of stores.

17. You have to leave at least 10-15 minutes earlier than normal when going somewhere because the traffic is really that bad.

18. You've never seen more trophy wives in your life.


If you don't believe me, walk into any gym in the area.

19. Your high school's parking lot is majority BMWs.

Mommy and daddy treated you well on your 16th birthday.

20. You only have to drive 10 minutes to see some of the greatest artists in the U.S.


The Pavilion has had everyone from The Jonas Brothers to Wiz Khalifa, and lawn tickets are incredibly affordable.

21. You have to ask permission to paint your home or change the landscaping.

This is suburbia. Every home must look exactly the same and if yours doesn't, expect complaints from neighbors and plenty of letters in the mail.

22. Your high school sports teams travel in charter buses.


Because it would be too uncomfortable to travel more than an hour on a normal bus.

23. Most people are conservative Republicans.


What do you expect when everyone's parents are involved in business?

24. You thought you were pretty wealthy, and then you hear someone say they live in Carlton Woods.


This is a modest Carlton Woods home. MODEST.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
