Texas might as well be its own country. Visitors see it when they cross into the Lone Star State, and true Texans know it beyond a doubt. Here are some unmistakable signs you're a true Texan form top to bottom.
1. You grew up saying the Texas pledge every day in class.
2. You avoid the metal part of your seat belt at all costs.
Touch this during the summer and you are done for
3. Your world stopped spinning when Blue Bell was recalled.
Do not make me relive this.
4. Your football postgame plans were set in stone.
5. A single flake of snow calls for a celebration.
As Texans, we are physically incapable of dealing with snow. When the forecast calls for winter weather, it's time to shut down the city.
6. Everything really is bigger in Texas.
7. Crowds no longer bother you when it comes to the Houston Livestock and Rodeo.
Home to the largest livestock show in the world. with an average of 100,000+ people attending each day, you throw your desire for personal space out the window.
8. You've got the classic picture in the field of blue bonnets.
9. You do not put up with the “queso” in other states.
(You can’t just melt Velveeta and call it queso. It just doesn’t work like that.)
10. You take your football very seriously.
From college football to throwing your 6 year old onto the field, we don’t take competition lightly
11. Yes, "y’all" is a word.
12. Sixth takes on a whole new meaning.
It is an experience you will never forget, or never remember.
13. That one sign makes the long road trips bearable
14. Under 60 degrees? I’ll pack my parka.
The summer is brutal, but at least we are used to the Texas heat. Frigid winters are a whole different story
15. Meeting a fellow Texan when traveling and having an instant bond.
16. Going 80 on an open highway is second nature.
17. Country concerts are a must even if you have no clue who is performing.
18. It’s sunny, but you pack an umbrella.
When all 4 seasons can happen in a 24-hour period, you learn the importance of being prepared
19. You consider Tex-Mex a food group.
20. You wore cowboy boots in your senior pictures.
21. Our high school stadiums looks like they were built for NFL teams.
Does spending $60 million on high school a stadium make your jaw drop? How about $70 million? Whether you are Allen or McKinney, nothing is too big
22. You live for the rivalries.
Let’s just say the Red River Rivalry is an absolute showdown
23. The Cowboys will always be America's team to you.
Whether you’re a loyal fan or a hater, the Dallas Cowboys will forever reign as America’s team.
24. You may come from a city with 9 high schools, 16 middle schools and 40 elementary schools.
Instead of even attempting to make sense of our school situation, you keep things simple and just say you went to high school in Frisco
