5 Reasons Texans Love Texas More Than Kanye Loves Kanye
Abigail Rose Fuller

Have you ever met someone from Texas? You would know if you have because we Texans tend to bring it up in conversations quite frequently. Why is this? Because Texans love Texas more than Kayne loves Kayne. To an outsider it may seem silly or dramatic, but once you have seen the beautiful Texas sunsets or sung the pledge of allegiance to the Texas state flag (yes, this is a real thing and yes, I still remember it. Try me.) before you began your fourth grade Texas History class, y’all will understand why Texans wish to secede.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and remember why Texans love Texas and why y’all should too.

1. Cowboy boots

They are practical af. If you don’t think if it’s your style, you haven’t tried them on. Gals: wear them with any dress and it will be perfect for any tailgate or a casual day around town. Gents: White washed Levi's with boots. 'Nuf said.

2. The cities

Austin: Hipster cowboys. Need I say more? Dallas: America’s Team (The Cowboys) and the famous place where JFK was shot (Too soon? Probably). Houston: Ok, personally, Houston isn’t my thing, but it’s in Texas, so you gotta love it. San Antonio: REMEMBER THE FREAKIN' ALAMO.

3. The Texas State Fair

If you haven’t been…. book your tickets now and GO! September 28th- October 21st, 2018. Be there! It features fried food, a killer Ferris wheel, and Big Tex. You might need to bring your cowboy hat, though, because the sun is always shining on Texas.

4. Football

"Friday Night Lights," ever heard of it? We Texans love our football. The starting quarterback is basically a local celebrity. College football can make or break a relationship. Planning on meeting the parents soon? Stop trying to master your small talk game and start figuring out if they Hook 'Em, Gig 'Em, Wreck 'Em, or Sick 'Em. Y'all will thank me later.

5. Texas is beautiful.

I challenge you to road trip around Texas. You can drive nine hours and still stay in one beautiful state. I can guarantee you these things: you will see beautiful bluebonnets on every major highway, get significantly cooler if you stop by Marfa, and have a killer Instagram post if go to Big Bend. On this road trip, pull over and see a world famous Texas sunset.

I hope I have convinced you to visit the best state ever! You better come quickly before you need a passport. #TexasSecede

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.
