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?”<\/p>\n
So, here’s your unofficial test. If you’ve done at least 10 of these things, congratulations, you’re officially from Lubbock!<\/p>\n
