14 Signs You're From South Carolina
Colliers

South Carolina is where I grew up. So everything here has always seemed like the norm. Now that I'm old enough to go out and visit other states I've noticed many things that are peculiar to my home state. Here's 14 things us South Carolinians know all about-- whether you like it, or not.

1. You insist on ya'll --not you guys

2. Sweet tea is as common as water


3. You see chevron way too many times in a day

I've never understood this trend, but it's taken over the state.

4. And lets not forget Lilly Pulitzer is everywhere

This trend is also beyond my understanding... But I will admit, it's a staple here.

5. You've been to Myrtle Beach numerous times, and probably for your high school senior week.

6. You've had Shrimp & Grits

It's a treat around here.

7. The Clemson vs. Gamecocks rivalry is very real

South Carolinians love their football

8. You think the Riverbanks zoo is extravagant

Ain't it though?

9. You or your friend own a native/palmetto tree car sticker.


Guilty.

10. You've accepted that no one in this state can drive (except for you of course)


11. Myrtle Manor & Southern Charm piss you off


12. Your parents have said things like, "Don't get too big for your briches","God don't like ugly" and "Go pick your switch".


13. Long John Silver's and Kmart still exist

14. Charleston is everyone's number one vacation spot

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
