If you've ever been to Dallas, or you're from Dallas, you know we do things a little differently. From our aggressive driving habits and sometimes excessive road rage, to our gathering of friends and families for a Cowboys watching party.

Dallas Texas is a huge metropolitan area, with a distinct culture. Dallas, by far, is the best city in Texas, and many residents will agree with this. The skyline is recognizable by people all over the world. Dallas is known for its bipolar weather patterns ranging from frigid cold weather in the mornings to beautiful 70 degree temperatures in the afternoon. Residents in Dallas are not even phased by tornado warnings anymore.

Dallas residents have a way of connecting and distinguishing themselves from other Texans. So, here's 11 signs that you're from Dallas:

1. The Dallas Skyline.

The familiar sight of the Reunion tower, and Bank of America Plaza serves as a reminder of a place you call home.

2. You think Dallas is better than Houston.

Lets face it, Dallas is superior to Houston in so many ways (except maybe baseball), from the people, the weather, to the culture.

3. You Consider brunch a hobby.

Being able to enjoy brunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon with friends is simply the best thing about living in Dallas.

4. You know someone from Plano.

They're everywhere. You can't escape them, but that's perfectly fine.

5. You've only been to an HEB outside of Dallas.

Queue audible gasp. That's right, we don't have an HEB, no one knows why. So don't even ask.

6. Having Dallas Cowboys merchandise.

Whether you love or hate them, either way, you have that one shirt or hat to support the home team.

7. A piece of you died when Big Tex burnt down.

Fact: New Big Tex will never compare to the o.g. When this iconic Dallas symbol burnt down, a piece of every Dallasite's heart went with it.

8. Taking the DART is second nature.

Though not practical for everyday use, We all know DART is a great substitute for driving especially when heading Downtown where parking can be a bit of a hassle.

9. You know the difference between Dallas, Dallas and the DFW area .

Dear Plano residents, you're not fooling anyone into thinking you're from Dallas.

10. Tornado warnings don't phase you.

Is it really spring without a few tornado warnings?

11. At the end of the day, you love Dallas and all it's quirks.

You take pride in letting it know that you're from the best city in America. There's a soft spot in your heart for Dallas and the people.

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.
