8 Normal Things That Become Abnormalities When A Southerner Leaves The South

Confusion because no one lives, rides, or dies for their college football team.

As someone that has been bred a Southerner, I've experienced some things when I've gone north of Kentucky and, let me tell you, the North is just a weird place.

Why would anyone want to leave the South, anyways???

1. There aren't CFAs on every corner

This makes me sad because it's inevitable that you'll be somewhere without the greatest thing the state of Georgia has produced since UGA football. Speaking of college football...

2. Confusion because no one lives, rides, or dies for their college football team

It's a known fact that no one Saturdays better than SEC schools, but actually experiencing a non-SEC Saturday really makes you thankful you live down South.

3. More confusion because these people wear casual clothes to the football games

You mean you don't wake up at 9 a.m. to put on your cutest outfits and a full face of makeup?????????? Weirdos.

4. The word "y'all" is apparently a foreign concept

It's a word, people!!!!!!!

5. The face you get when your waiter tries to pass off iced tea with sugar as sweet tea

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THIS ONE. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

6. Southern hospitality is a real thing

"Yes, ma'am", "no, ma'am", holding the door open for the person behind you will get you some funny glances!!

7. They don't know what "Bless your heart" actually means

Bless their hearts.

8. 60 degree weather is apparently HOT??

Where's my jacket?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
