If you grew up in the South, you certainly will be able to relate to these 20 things.

1. Your high school history teacher was the football coach.

Giphy

Although it was easy to get him off-topic, you probably could've used some historical knowledge for the long road, or could have done without listening to the battle of Bunker Hill as a strategy.

2. People always ask how your family is.... even when you don't know them.

Giphy

The awkward smiles and "they're great!" to cover up the fact you don't talk to them

3. Your accent is so strong you can barely pronounce words correctly.

Giphy

Or when you say a bigger word and people act surprised.

4. Your sweet tea could single-handedly put anyone in a diabetic coma.

passed down through generations

5. The old men eating Jack's for breakfast keep offering you candy and/or money.

Giphy

6. The "late night hang out" is a gas station.

Giphy

Until the cops are called.

7. Your mom let you choose the switch from the side of the road in which she was going to beat you with

Giphy

Perfect mixture of flimsy and firm-not too green, not too dead.

8. Everyone has a browning or a salt life sticker on their Altima.

Giphy

So y'all live by a secret ocean?

9. At least three churches per block

Giphy

Ain't no harm done!

10. If your parents were high school all stars, so were you.

Giphy

I mean, it runs in the family.

11. Everyone knows your business

Giphy

They know about you relative's arrest before you...

12. The cashier at the gas station knows your name and your car.

Giphy

13. Everyone is trying to make it in the music industry

Giphy

And by 'music industry I mean Soundcloud

14. And if you don't like one of them that made it, everyone hates you.

Giphy

No offense, but it's terrible.

15. Everything is robin egg blue and monogrammed

Giphy

I'm convinced it's a cult.

16. When you adjust your tinder to 20 miles, it's only people you went to high school with.

Giphy

The past finds the present.

17. All people eat is ranch.

Giphy

18. Every summer you see at least ONE rebel flag bikini.

Giphy

Which is absolutely sickening

19. You hear "Sweet Home Alabama" everywhere you go.

Giphy

It really isn't that great of a song

20. Somehow people missed that the 'mullet' went out of style

Giphy

Brave souls still rock it, though.
