Where you go to school can be important but HOW you go to school is much more important. You will be at college to learn, not get a piece of paper with a certain name on it. Focus on learning. There are lots of quality schools that have beautiful campuses and wonderful students and professors. Try to find a place that’s a great fit for you, work hard, engage with your professors, and get to know your fellow students and treat them (and everyone else) well. You’ll do great. I guarantee there are many students right now at Texas A&M and Texas Tech–both terrific schools in your state–that will have just as much if not more “success” and lead as happy or happier lives than many students at Ivy League and Ivy League type schools, which are also terrific. Enjoy the process, look for a good fit with people you enjoy and can learn from, and good luck.
