I'm in a flexibility class, and tend to sit in the back and keep real quiet. However, yesterday we had to stretch with a buddy, so as fate would have it, I was with a girl from Texas. We were completely different, but that one thing in common kept us talking the entire class period. I don't care if she is the weirdest or coolest person ever, she is a Texan. Therefore, there will always be something to talk about, and we will automatically be friends.
Walking around campus, I've been able to spot the Texans, as we tend to stand out a mile away. Why?
1. If it's 70 degrees outside, we are the only ones bundled up in layers
2. We are proud of our Texas teams! Rangers, Cowboys, Mavericks, Longhorns, Aggies, you name it, we wear it, and we wear it proud!
3. Chances are, every Texan has a flag in their window or their dorm.
4. We say words like "yall", or "fixin to"
5. We use lots of similes and metaphors that only other Texans understand
6. School work always has been less important than the football games
7. Country music is the best sound yall will ever hear!
8. We know only Ford or Dodge makes trucks... Nice try Toyota!
9. We know basic Spanish words
10. We have belt buckles bigger than our fists
11. Tornado sirens and thunderstorms don't even phase us anymore
12. We think school should be cancelled because it's snowing a little outside
13. We know what a buggy is
14. We feel sorry for those who have a Mercedes....Cause we have a Ford
15. A few bugs and spiders don't bother us
16. We save our bacon grease to use for later
17. We know that everything tastes better with Ranch
18. We know our state has a pledge, and we can proudly say it
19. Where we're from, there are more Texas flags than American
As Davy Crockett put it, "You can all go to hell, I'm going to Texas".
