Watching a rivalry American football game. AI-generated illustration.

  • I went to Dallas with friends to watch UT play OU. The drive was about four hours, but we talked so much along the way that it went by faster than I expected.

  • Some of the people on the trip were new to me. I thought it might be awkward at first, but we got more comfortable as the day went on.

  • The game was really intense. UT lost, and the ending felt especially disappointing. Seeing the rivalry in person was quite an experience.

  • Leaving the stadium was another experience entirely. There were so many people that what would normally have been a ten-minute walk took about thirty or forty minutes.

  • I stayed at a friend's house that night. The house was really nice, and there was a really cute cat. Spending time with the cat was such a relaxing part of the trip. My friend's mom also made us sandwiches and donuts, and the food was really good.
