- Texas is like a WHOLE other world, but there are so many things that make it unique... and weird. I've noticed a bunch of interesting things in the two years that I have been going to college here (and I just got into Texas A&M, yay!) that I never would have guessed.

As someone from Texas, this is really hilarious because it's so spot on! (Yes, we absolutely do worship that beaver, Bucky's. No road trip is complete without a stop at that shopping mall of a gas station.)
Haha thank you, and I’m glad you found it accurate ! 😂
Yesss I have about 20 shirts from bucky’s and then there beaver nuggets are so good
Victoria, stumbled onto this video and think you have nailed the Texas culture. I am a lifelong Texan and A&M grad from decades ago. Very impressed with your positive attitude and enthusiasm. Something tells me you are going to have great success with your college career and beyond. Hope they get the campus safely opened this fall. Great video!!!!
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your feedback. Gig 'em :)
You made me want to move to Texas, and I already live there😂
Same
I realized how big Texas was when I drove from CA to College Station and realized I wasn’t even halfway there when I hit El Paso.
Welcome to Texas, but if you want some real tacos, gas stations where they only speak Spanish is where it’s at.
Haha, I'll make sure to try some next time I take a road trip!
Dude yes the stripes tacos are bomb
@@VictoriaMcNallyX if you’re ever in the Dallas area you HAVE to try Fuel City’s tacos 😋 Also try the Elote 👌
Texas is the state of friendship as its motto. I’m so happy that you are loving my most favorite Lone Star State that I live in. As for me, I grew up here in Texas with a bunch of friendly people from the past time.
As someone that's from El Paso, I share your confusion of our highways! People like you are who really make Texas great! Gig'Em!
Kudos to you on sticking with a goal to getting in the school of your choice! Takes a lot to move to a state and pre-establish a life before getting into college! Finish strong! Gig Em AG’s!!! Class of 06!
You should be very proud of yourself. You set a goal and accomplished it.
Thank you!
@@VictoriaMcNallyX Travelled to College Station last summer as our son moved into campus for freshman year. It was my first time in Texas and it is a special place. Enjoy! Oops....I mean Gig'em!
Texas A&M ‘92 graduate here. You nailed everything about the state of Texas. I live in Florida now but I am so proud being a Texan. By the way congratulations on being an Aggie. A&M is NOT the same school when I was there. It is so much better now. There is a big buzz for the younger generation in Texas to become an Aggie. A&M is a school with traditions - saying “howdy” to everyone at the campus, midnight yell practice, the Texas Aggie Band, bonfire, standing during the football game, and Elephant Walk. Then you get your Aggie ring once you’re eligible. A&M is such a great school. 👍
It’s funny because everything that u said just seems normal to me. I never really think about how weird and different it must be for people out of state. Also congratulations for getting into Texas A&M! That’s so awesome! Ur going to enjoy it there!
Just moved to Texas a year and a half ago and you nailed all the biggest points about Texas! Texas is definitely starting to feel like home now🥰 I love the culture and the people here ❤️ congrats on getting into A&M! That’s an amazing accomplishment!
Thank you!!
I cracked up when you talked about Bucees. It’s so true. I live near a few and I can’t go a day without a Bucees drink. Theres one by the beach where I live where everyone buys beach towels, casual clothes, cute beachy jewelry and beach chairs. It’s amazing
The whole rundown on Buccee's made me spit out my coffee 🤣
I didn't get in after highschool either! I did community college for two years too and I finally got in in February!! GIG EM and see you on campus!
Thank god, I came across your video. Now, I am more than excited to come to Texas A&M. Also, I could listen to you all day.
Vishal Hundekar thank you so much!! I’m glad this video was helpful to you :)
omg girl we're literally twins. i grew up in ct and moved to texas, and i'll be at a&m in the fall. hopefully i'll see you there! gig'em
No way!! funny how we both took the same path, and congrats on getting in :) gig em!
Hey! I’m going to A&M this fall too
Congratulations 🎊
As soon as you started talking about the highways I shouted “the spaghetti bowl” and it brought me back to driving to Dallas and seeing my sister 😂 Congrats on getting into A&M! Gig’ em!
Haha thank you!
Congratulations and welcome to Texas!🥳❤️
Thank you!
You will appreciate it all the more. Not just the degree and the Aggie network, but your story of determination to accomplish your goal is one you should be practiced in telling for when you eventually interview for your career.
This was great and I’m really glad you’re enjoying Texas. I love mangos too…lol. I’m an Aggie looking for videos about A&M that I can show my high school daughter to help her understand how great it is and I plan to share this one with her. She loves Whataburger and Buccees as well…lol. Best of luck in school and gig’em!
I'm from San Antonio, here you just get so used to the fact of interacting and enjoying each other's company. I went to ny for ONE week and the mood was SOOO different, it's like everyone just has a goal in mind and live in their own world (of course this is not the same for everyone), which is crazy to me. I can never hate on NY bc its truly a beautiful city but i could never change it from Texas :). but imma try to go back to ny bc I NEED their pizza lmao
New York pizza is AMAZING but NY could never beat TX as you said :)
Welcome. I went to TAMU. I also enjoyed visiting New England. I went to Hartford Seminary for some short courses. That is a great place.
i want to go to tamu as well so that’s why i clicked on this vid, but you have such amazing vibes and energy, i’m only 3 mins in and i already love you!! you got a new subscriber ❤️ also can you please update us and make a lot of vids on a&m and the requirements to get in, and the experience as you go there ??
I will totally do that girl!! Thank you for the suggestions and thank you for supporting :) stay tuned in the next couple weeks for some more (hopefully helpful) tamu videos!
Lol I’m a texan and going to bucees is a must ....like I have a holiday shirt collection 😂🤦🏽♀️
Haha I just got the Halloween one last week 🙈🤪
I love this video! I’m from Huntsville, Tx which is about an hour north of Houston. I’m probably going to be going to TAMU in the fall of 2021.
Thanks for checking my video out :) I hope you do go to TAMU!!
hi!!! Omg I’m so happy you got into A&M I’m currently a student there so Whoop but you’re so pretty!!!
Thank you girl!! Gig em :)
Nice video! By the way, I like the food at Kitchen Little on Mason's Island. Texas' economy is strong due to the conservative base .....that is currently changing and once you get to Austin you'll realize that it's a good thing that you can prepare Ramen and like it.....Austin isn't inexpensive and you'll figure that out really quickly if you try to rent/buy living quarters. Great to hear all the positives in your video. Congratulations on acceptance into aTm......I'd be interested to know how someone from the land of Duncan Doughnuts chose Aggieland. Gig 'em!
I’m a high school senior from PA and I just got accepted and I’m realllyyyy considering it
Victoria, I can’t express to you how much it warmed my heart hearing you boast about my home state! I know this is 2 years late, but my cheeks hurt bc of you and I can’t wait to be back in Texas attending A&M my damn self (several years too late albeit lol)
Did you decide to stay??
Moved to Houston from Chicago when I was 8 and the INSANE roads were the first thing I noticed too. I thought we had moved to the actual future. I am also a Comm Major at TAMU! Class of 2021 👍🏼
Haha, the roads really freak me out. Gig em!
Loved this video! I stumbled onto it while surfing RUclips for a@m info I actually go to college station high school and have lived in college station texas my whole life cause my dad is a former a@m stat professor everything is accurate I can especially attest to the bucees obsession when I go on trips with the cshs marching band we always, always stop at bucees on the way back🤣 I'm glad you enjoy this town as much as I do and hopefully I'll join the Aggie community next year also if you haven't already I would try mad toco it's close to cshs probably like 15m from campus across from William Fitch(the road) its awesome my whole family loves it
I live 1 hour outside Oklahoma and it snowed once, but it melted so fast and it stopped 15 minutes later. Everyone was outside trying to take pictures but the flakes were so small, they didn't show up on camera
Congrats from international master Aggie 2022! Love the video, you are so cute!!!
Thank you so much!!
Woop! Whoop!! Gig'em Victoria Gig'em! I graduated in the class of 1969 and I just really wish we would have had girls like you at A&M when I was there.
Whoop! Welcome to Texas A&M!
PS -- I'm a Communication major too!!
also this is such a great and sweet video!!
Thank you!! :)
So glad you got in to A&M! If you ever need a friend let me know, I'm going into my sophomore year at TAMU. :)
I NEED A FRIEND :)
i just got accepted
Yesssssss we LOVE bucees
Wow your story of coming to Texas to attend TAMU sounds just like mine! Including the part of jumping hurdles and attending a community college to save money before transferring. We should be friends. I just got accepted too :)
Been wanting to move to Texas for years. I visited several times. My son is looking into engineering at A&M for Fall 2022. Enjoy!
They actually call a certain highway intersection in Dallas the high five because it has 5 levels of roads, but I know people who call it the spaghetti bowl
I'm gonna call it the spaghetti bowl from now on lol
I heard about that highway intersection too the high five interchange
Love this video 😍
Thank you!!
and yeah it’s always that we tell the major city we’re near😂
I loved your video👍
As a Texan, I can agree with most except that Austin a es is more liberal, but Dallas may be just as. It’s Fort Worth that is very conservative and then there is where I am in places like Arlington and Mansfield which are a good mix. But still accurate!!
My daughter is trying to get into A&M and we live in Massachusetts (I'm originally from Southeast Texas and have family there still). She's about a 3.1 GPA student. We are unsure if she'll get in after we apply this fall. We thought schools typically like when students from other states apply to represent their school as a more national rounded brand. We do have a cousin who graduated from A&M but unclear if that helps or not. Much like you, I think my daughter is a natural Texan.
All these points are spot on. Yes, Stop-N-Shop is terrible. Very bad produce and blah all around.
Hi! I was wondering what your application stats were? Unfortunately I will be out of state when I apply for A&M and am hoping to get in on the first or second try;)
Great Texas review but don’t move here!😅 we have enough people here
People who don't live in Texas don't know what it is like to go on a school trip and only stop at a buckys.
haha true!
Lived in Texas basically my entire life and just last year I found out what buckies is, when I saw people wearing the merch and shit in school or something i just thought it was some kinda summer camp thing.
How much do people pay for 12-15 credit hours only tuition and fee?
Also, HEB isn’t in the dfw area and it sucks that it’s that way
Yup all true I love living in Texas lived here most of my life also road trips to other states half your trip is getting out of Texas ;) Though I would never leave Texas I want to see the 50 states
I just got accepted as well!! Hopefully they’ll open up for the fall
Congratulations! they did announce that they are planning to open back up :)
@@VictoriaMcNallyX Awesome, Maybe ill see you around!
My aunt used to be there and now she is a occupational therapist
Today I got in Texas A&M, yay!
what gpa did u get to tranfer in A&m
I love Bucees!
It’s actually ok to put sauce on your bbq. I mean that by YOUR bbq.
I really want to get into a&m and I don’t know if it’s a good option or not :(
Chloe Morgan definitely keep researching and really asking yourself what’s important to you in a college :) tamu is an incredible school and I totally believe that if you work hard you can get in!
I just applied yesterday. I hope I get accepted 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Good luck!!
how is Uconn compared to TAM?
We are lucky to have you young lady. If you think life is good now, just wait until you put on that Aggie ring for the first time.
thank you!
I'm from Beaumont Texas by the way and it's 2 hours and 45 minutes away from College Station TX maybe i should go to Texas A&M
It’s a great school :)
I see and I also be watching yall football team playing on Saturdays
Texas A&M has been my dream school for a long time. I have a 4.65 weighted GPA out of a 5.0 and a 4.0/4.0 unweighted GPA. My school is extremely competitive, so I might not in the top ten percent. I’m a rising junior, so I have to wait a semester for rankings. This is what scares me the most, because most TAMU people get in by top ten percent, squeezing me out. On the PSAT I got a 1340/1520 and on the real thing, I’m gonna both study and hope for a 1450+. As a ninth grader, I did debate and robotics. In tenth grade, I began to graph desmos art. Basically, it’s art but it’s all equations. I entered my Saturn V in the desmos global art competition www.desmos.com/calculator/banpazjruf . I didn’t win, but I had fun. I plan on studying engineering. Do you think I’ll get in? What advice do you have? I’m really worried.
psh you'll get in. IF anything you should go to UT
Look up the requirements for a&M you meet the sat for sure if you made a 1340 on it.
yeah i echo the last dude, tamu is fairly easy to get into & with your stats it should be a piece of cake. ut/rice might also be a good fit for you, or maybe even out of state
you should have gone to UT Austin
i really want to go here but i live in ohio currently :( this will be a struggle
Is it hard to get into A&M? I’m a soon to be junior in high school but I am already thinking about what university I want to get into.
It's not super easy, especially if you are out of state like me. If you are already in Texas though, you might have a better chance. Good luck!
Victoria McNally Thank you :)
Victoria McNally Oh ok and Thank you :)
oh, and don't worry, we hate the highways too
Dallas county itself is not that conservative though..but I’d guess you’re referring to the surrounding area
Mangoes are not always cheap and I was eating at Jack in the Box in Missouri in the 1970s. Are you from the tiniest town in CT?
One of the tiniest lol
@@VictoriaMcNallyX I say that because my hometown is tiny, too. I had 37 ppl in my graduating class.
don't like the weather?
wait 30 mins
Two words Gop
lol i've lived in Texas my whole life and I have never had jack in the box (and idek it was a Texas thing) oops
Me too and I had food from jack in the box
yes i’m salty that a non texan bought whataburger:(
For realll, Whataburger is a Texas culture thing!
I ate food from wataburger before
I live in Rhode Island and TAMU has always been my dream school, but i'm so afraid I won't get in.
I believe in you!
All hial buccey
Buccee's. Best there is.
Thankfully we do not have Blumenthal!
el paso wya
You’re so gorgeous
I don't think Dallas is conservative, the outskirts are, but definitely not Dallas, especially due to the population of African Americans and Latinos who are more plentiful there, but going towards the country and developing suburbs, yeah for sure
Latinos have started getting conservative these days
I also go to A&M and I totally know how you feel. I'm also a small youtuber and would love it if you could check out my channel. Also congratulations on getting in!!!!!! We should hang out when and if they open up!
Thank you :) and your videos are so funny, I just subbed!!
@@VictoriaMcNallyX omgggggg thank you so much. That means a lot. I hope to see your channel grow
Great vid but like Dallas is definitely not all conservative
yes, i'm sure it's very diverse like the rest of Texas! :)
Great vid but Dallas is definitely not conservative. You’re probably thinking of Fort Worth.
except.... dont California our Texas y'all. thank you!
Dallas is actually pretty mixed. I’ve lived here since I was 5, not sure who told you that but girl I know from experience. Lol This year in the voting we were mostly blue. East Texas is by far the most right sided.
Which core value encouraged A&M to chose a football team stadium entrance song laced with profanities including racial slurs?
Texas A&M is not a good place to go if you are Christian, care about academics, and dont want to be subjected to a ridiculous set of southern cultural norms and racism.
