9 Reasons To Visit Buc-ee's

For those of you who didn't already know, Texans are very proud to be from the great Lone Star state. There is a very rich culture and many things that be hard to wrap your head around, so today I hope to help you understand a little something about how we do gas stations. Buc-ee's is a chain of mega-sized convenience stops in the central and Gulf Coast region of Texas. The company is owned by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III and Don Wasek, headquartering in Lake Jackson, Texas. Much like everyone else in the massive state, the owners think that everything should be bigger in Texas. In addition to cheap gas, the gas station has won multiple awards for having the cleanest bathrooms in the state. It prides itself on cleanliness and uniqueness. The store offers other products such as snacks, drinks, a deli, coffee shop, exterior tunnel car washes, Texas-themed specialty gifts and food and products catering to hunters and river rafters. Also sold at the stores are private labeled beef jerky, novelty candy, trail mixes, granola, pralines, jarred veggies, preserves and salsa. All locations are open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

1. Beaver Nuggets

This is Buc-ee's No. 1 branded product. It is a caramel and butter-glazed corn puff that melts in your mouth and warms your soul.

2. Clean bathrooms

Buc-ee's has earned multiple awards for the cleanliness and effectiveness of their restrooms. When it comes to searching for a rest stop on road trips, the two things people tend to consider are how cheap the gas is and how clean the restrooms seem to be. Because Buc-ee's is known for cheap gas and amazing bathrooms, they have no problem attracting customers. In each store there are around 20 stalls, each with personal hand sanitizers and toilet seat covers. There are plenty of mirrors and sinks for everyone to get in and out in the cleanest way possible.

3. The Iccee Machine

In each of the Buc-ee's stores there is a massive Iccee dispensing machine with around eight different flavors. If you're addicted to these Slurpee's like I am, you know this is a big deal.

4. Fudge

Buc-ee's is also well known for their homemade fudge sold at the stores. Flavors include chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, Rocky Road and more.

5. Texas Gifts

In addition to Buc-ee's merchandise, you can buy all kinds of different Texas favorites in the store for anyone who needs a little more Texas in their life. My favorite gift purchase from Buc-ee's is probably the "Don't Mess With Texas" refrigerator magnet that I made my Louisiana-raised roommates put on our shared freezer space.


6. Variety

Every single snack you could ever crave on the road can be found at Buc-ee's. Every flavor of Dorito, every single chocolate bar you've ever eaten and what seems like hundreds of Wonka products.

7. Healthy Options

In addition to all the junk food your little heart could desire, Buc-ee's also has ready to eat chicken salad, tuna salad, wraps, salads fruit and more!

8. Staff

The staff at Buc-ee's is highly valued and therefore some of the nicest gas station employees you've ever had the pleasure to come in contact with.

9. Texas

I mean the store was born in bred in Texas! How could it get any better?

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
