7 Unmistakable Signs You're From Gwinnett County, GA
Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County is home to one of the biggest counties in the United States of America in terms of population, which means that we have developed our own culture over the course of time. Here are some surefire signs that you are from Gwinnett County.

1. "Atlanta" is pronounced "Alanna"


One way to distinguish Georgians from others is to ask them to say "Atlanta", if they pronounce it with the "t" it's a definite sign that they're not from Georgia.

2. Telling all of your friends that Migos is from where you live

The Atlanta rap scene has skyrocketed recently with Migos at the heim of the ship. Migos were always on the rise, but ever since Childish Gambino, a Greater Atlanta native, said "I’d like to thank the Migos, not for being on the show, but for making Bad and Boujee" at the Golden Globes, Migos have "takeoff."

3. Grayson High School's "Brookwood Where You At" will always be the standard for High School football rivalries


With nearly a million views on Youtube, "Brookwood Where You At" is the pinnacle of any high school rivalry. Ask anybody from Gwinnett County and they are bound to have heard "Brookwood Where You At."

4. Waffle House is always the place to go after any sporting event

Waffle House is quite literally the staple of the South, especially in Georgia. Win or loss, Waffle House is always the place to go after a game.

5. High School Football is NOT a joke

One thing Gwinnett County that is known in Gwinnett County is that high school football is one of the prime elements of your high school experience. Just ask Mill Creek High School's Student Section...

6. "#closegwinnett" will always be one of the biggest accomplishment by Gwinnett County students

Gwinnett County is notorious for being the last county to close, in even extreme weather conditions, so students took to social media to make a statement -- and it was a large one. Gwinnett County Public School students managed to make "#closegwinnett" on twitter trending worldwide with various memes along the way.

7. Most of the time when we do close, it's probably a quarter inch of snow

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2998
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
