1. You have a love-hate relationship with Memphis

In some ways you hate it here, but in other ways, you love it. When you're out of town you ind yourself missing things about it.

2. You could really care less about Graceland

Lets be real, I've never even been here.

3. You grew up in the south, but Memphis is anything but country

When I first moved to Starkville, I was obsessed with seeing cows and horses everywhere. The only things country here are boots and trucks.

4. There are too many high schools in the city

East High, Overton high, White Station high, North Side high, and so much more.

5. You've never seen Justin Timberlake walking round

I've lived here my entire life. I have never once seen Justin Timberlake, and I don't just sit at home and chill.

6. You know not to take a wrong turn in Midtown because you could end up in a really bad area

Midtown is pretty nice until you take a wrong turn and end up somewhere you're afraid to even drive through without getting shot.

7. People who live in Germantown have a lot of money

It's an expensive area to live in, it's very nice.

8. Boots are everywhere

Everywhere you look, there's some sort of boot. Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, you name it, there will be some form of a boot in sight.

The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.
