Ending up in jail is easy in Texas. It will always have my heart though!

1. It is illegal to sell one’s eye.

I see these dealers selling one eye. It makes me wonder, why not sell both?

2. It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.

Please stick to milking your own cow.

3. The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Bud light isn't all that bad. Why waste time making your own.

4. In Lefors, Texas, it is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

Just sit down and drink the whole can. It easier that way!

5. It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.

If you want to shoot a buffalo, just climb another flight of stairs please.

6. It’s illegal to possess realistic dildos, in Dallas.

Stick to those colorful, fake-looking ones.

7. There is a city ordinance that states that a person cannot go barefoot without first obtaining a special $5 permit.

Pay a small fee and be shoes-free!

8. In Clarendon, It is illegal to dust any public building with a feather duster.

Please stick to feather dusting your own home.

9. You can go to jail if you eat your neighbor’s garbage without their permission.

Follow that law and eat out of your own trash.

10. It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers.

You don’t need a windshield, but you must have the wipers.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
