6 Reasons Why Dallas Will Always Be Better Than Houston
http://www.dfwfreeways.com/

If you live in Texas, chances are you've heard about the Dallas vs. Houston arguments. You've heard it even more if you attend a Texas college. Both sides are biased towards their hometown, as they rightly should be. However, I took a weekend trip to Houston this past weekend and I definitely believe that I have settled this argument. Yes, I am biased towards Dallas having lived in the area my entire life, BUT I have tried my best to put this bias aside to make my decision. Let's be real, the only thing Houston has going for them is Beyoncé. So here are the reasons that I believe that the Big D is better than H-Town.

1. The traffic is horrible.

If you thought driving in Dallas is bad, try driving in Houston. The highways have more lanes, yet traffic is somehow worse, even at 11 o'clock on a Saturday night.

2. The drivers are even worse.

Don't even get me started on the number of times I was tailgated even though I was going a decent amount over the speed limit. Within my hour drive to Galveston, I saw at least five cars who were weaving in and out of the three-lane highway.

3. Our skyline > yours.

Let's be real, can any city skyline in Texas really compare to this one?

4. Rangers over the Astros any day.

The Rangers have always dominated the Astros, and they have continued their dominance this season. Last season, the Rangers made a last-minute run at the playoffs, taking the division from the former first place Astros. As you can see, the Rangers have won all but four "Silver Boot" battles.

5. The Texans have nothing on the Cowboys.

Five Super Bowl rings vs. zero Super Bowl rings. No argument needed. Although J.J. Watt would look good in blue, white and silver...

6. Our weather is better too.

A lot of people who come to Dallas from a different state complain about the humidity. But you don't know humidity until you've been down in Houston. The humidity reaches into the 80 to 90 percent range. In Dallas, it's usually between 40 to 60 percent.

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.

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.

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.
