We are proud Texans. We know that there is no place like Texas and no where better than Texas, but for some reason we decided to go to college in Oklahoma. Us, Texans, hate Oklahoma, but we love our school here! We lost things that we took for granted in Texas, and now we are forced to deal with Oklahoma's quirks.
1. There isn't any good Mexican food.
Yes, those little Mexican food chains are good, but they certainly aren't the real deal. Your Oklahoman friends are always saying that they know the best Mexican restaurant, you get excited for a second, and then realize there is no way that is true. The best/real Mexican food in the U.S. is in Texas.
2. What's up with the roads?
Have you driven on I-35 in Oklahoma City? It feels like we busted a tire every time that we drive on it.
3. Generally, Oklahoma drivers are the worst drivers in the world.
Oh my God, every time I drive home I am almost ran off the road by some Oklahoma driver not paying attention. They are the slowest drivers ever - you do NOT go 40 in a 75 EVER! They say Texas drivers are crazy, but that's just because they've never seen anyone that can actually drive.
4. Coke v. Pop v. Soda Debate
We forget that y'all say awful things like "pop" and "soda" to refer to cokes, but trust me when when I say that we are the ones suffering from this issue. When our Oklahoma friend asks if we want anything and we say a coke, we are born to think that they would bring us back a Dr. Pepper, but they don't. They are all cokes.
5. Why don't the lights on major roads turn on at night?
We see that y'all have lights on the road, but why aren't they on? Why did y'all spend money to get the lamps if they are going to be off? I've seen this is OKC and Tulsa - these roads have exits, but no lights to see where they are. And you can't turn on your brights because people are coming the other way. Makes no sense.
6. Walmart is seriously lacking in the alcohol department.
Yes, there is beer, but where is the the wine?! Where is anything? Y'all have half an aisle of alcohol and it's just shitty beer. At home, we have at least 3 full aisles dedicated to alcohol so that when we are buying all the stuff for our parties we can just get the drinks there, but nope, not in Oklahoma.

There are struggles when any one moves to any new state, but with the Texas / Oklahoma rivalry these struggles always seem a little harder. Us, Texans, love the schools that we moved to, so all these small things are worth it.
