You Know You're From San Antonio When...

Hey now, Dance.Girl.Sparkle, we only think 94 degrees is the end of the world because IT IS. —Sparkitors

You know you’re from San Antonio when...

• a part of your soul dies when you're on vacation in New York and people ask you if you ride a horse to school...
• people are stupid enough to ask you bullet point 1, you have the temptation to roundhouse kick them (thank you Chuck Norris) or tell them about the (fake) hardships of having to clean the stables at school and that your (fake) horse’s name in Bucky.
• you have to drive everywhere.
• you see that the thermometer in the car reads 103 degrees and think “Aw dang it, just a few degrees from beating yesterday’s high...”
• you laugh when you see that people in the North think the Apocalypse is rapidly approaching because the temperature has been 94 degrees for 3 days straight. Amateurs.
• you weren’t too surprised when you found out that white people became the minority a few months back with Hispanics in the majority.
• you are required to take Spanish from the wee years of elementary school.
• your high school's Spanish levels go until Spanish Literature 6/7 AP (and only native Mexicans take it).
• football is the priority of your High School (come on, it’s Texas) and then comes cheerleading (again, Texas).
• it’s as common to attend Quinceañeras as it is to attend Sweet Sixteens.
• you feel a little twinge of anger when a TV show features a cowboy hat on a character and pairs them with a TOTAL OVERLY-HICK ACCENT THAT BURNS YOUR EARS...
• you don’t think you have an accent, but when someone else than isn’t from Texas speaks to you they’re like “whoa buddy, you’re accent is soooo thick!”
• when the student’s cars are better and way more expensive than the teacher’s cars but nobody says anything even though they know it’s true (again, Stone Oak and Alamo Heights area only).
• you long for the day when the fabulous and abundant mansions that are in San Antonio will someday be recognized and featured on House Hunters (ok maybe just me but whatevssss. SHUT UP!)
• when “older women” still think they are young, have big “Texas” hair, and everything in their wardrobe is bedazzled.
• the majority of girls own Miss Me jeans.
• you look at the Rodeo as a cheap carnival and not a very “cowboyish” thing
• when you see shots of New York City or Rodeo Drive on TV and sadly think “Hey, we have all those stores too... “
• you are either on A&M’s side or UT’s side. (The rivalry is well known AND YOU DO NOT LIVE IN TEXAS IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!)

Are you an Aggie or a Longhorn?
