You know you're guilty of #9.

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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
