If You’ve Done 10 of These Things, You’re Officially From Lubbock

At some point, you stop just living in Lubbock and actually become part of it. It's not really about how long you've been here. It's more about the little things. Like, survival skills, and the very specific experiences we have here that make outsiders go, "wait...what?"

So, here's your unofficial test. If you've done at least 10 of these things, congratulations, you're officially from Lubbock!

1. You’ve braced yourself against the wind like you’re fighting for your life… just to get into a gas station.
2. You’ve said “it wasn’t supposed to be this windy today” at least 100 times.
3. You’ve planned your entire outfit around wind resistance instead of style.
4. You’ve driven across town for one thing and somehow ended up making five stops.
5. You’ve watched a wall of dust roll in and thought, “yeah, that checks out.”
6. You’ve experienced all four seasons in a single afternoon.
7. You’ve complained about Lubbock… and then immediately defended it when someone else did.
10. You’ve told someone, “If you don’t like it, just move,” even if you didn’t fully mean it.
11. You’ve seriously considered driving to another city just for food options.
12. You’ve used a Whataburger trip as a legitimate plan.
13. You’ve had your allergies personally attacked by spring.
14. You’ve seen something that made you say, “That is the most Lubbock thing I’ve ever seen.”
15. You’ve accepted that dust will just… be in your house now.
16. You’ve learned that “a quick trip” is never actually quick.
17. You’ve bonded with a stranger over how wild the weather is that day.
