15 Reasons Why Texans Love Texas So Much
Denison, Texas

As a Texan, I have always been proud to call Texas home-- as most of my fellow Texans are. It was not until I moved to Arkansas for school four years ago that I realized how proud we really are. Although I have fallen in love with Arkansas, Texas will always be home and I have so many reasons to be proud of where I come from.

Here are 15 reasons why Texans love Texas so much:

1. Everything is bigger.

2. How patriotic we are.

Along with the American flag being everywhere you look, the Texas flag is right below it.

3. Sports

Friday night football is like a religion.

4. The fact that we can be a country.

Although it may never happen, we always have that in our back pocket.

5. George Strait

The king of country music calls his home Texas just like the rest of us.

6. BBQ

7. The State Fair


8. Sweet Tea

9. Buc-ees

It is so much more than just any convenience store and Texas is the only place blessed to have them.

10. Tex-Mex

Mexican food in Texas is so good, it has become its own category of food.

11. Whataburger


12. Beyoncé

If you haven't heard Queen B's new album Lemonade, she makes it clear that she is from Texas and proud of it.

13. The rest of the world can thank Texas for bringing them Blue Bell, Shiner Bock, and Dr. Pepper.

14. Even Davy Crockett told Congress:


15. It's our home.

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.
