Everything Is Better In Texas

Practically having a roommate from Texas for two years now, I've learned quite a bit about Texas. It takes a lot for me to admit this, but Texas isn't so bad. I'm a Jersey girl forever at heart, but I've decided to give a piece of it to Texas and here's why.

1. Whataburger

If you enjoy burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries, you need to go to Whataburger ASAP.

I walked in so confused, but upon leaving, I found my new favorite place to eat. It's so amazing you'll dream about it.

2. They have everything


Any restaurant, clothing store, activity you could think of. I remember being in the car looking out the window in shock. The highways took you to everything in less than 20 minutes.

3. Western-themed nightclubs

Being a Jersey girl, nightclubs look very different. While visiting Dallas, I went to my first western-themed nightclub. Almost everyone wore cowboy boots. It was so fun to dance and be carefree.

4. Mexican food

Nothing beats Mexican food in Texas! I swear they have a special ingredient!

5. My best friend lives there

Who knew freshman year English class could bring someone so special to my life. From binge watching Netflix series, to moving into my room, and waking me up every morning for class, I don't know what I would do without Jennifer.

She brought her Texas joy to Kansas, and this Jersey girl is forever grateful. She's shown me a brighter side to life. She's shown me that Texas is an amazing place to be. She's got "y'all" stuck in my head 24/7, and introduced me to many new things. Even if it meant shoving flan in my face, we always have a great time together.

We will always be found together, and I would do anything to have the state of Jersey moved closer to Texas to see her more often. If you haven't been, y'all should go check out the state of Texas! It's pretty amazing!

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
