You Know You're From North Carolina When...

1. Everyone wears Simply Southern

No thanks, I'll stick to non-overpriced t-shirts without the cursive.

2. Sperrys are supposed to be a Fashion statement for some reason

Serving frat boy realness.

3. You aren't a cool guy unless you're holding a fish in your profile picture

`

The bigger the fish, the more southern the accent.

4. Cook Out is known to be the best place to go to after a party

This, I actually like. Where else can you pay $5 for a tray full of food.

5. But if you are with your family, Bojangles is another option

It's Bo time? Who is Bo?

6. The State fair is a big thing for some odd reason

DEEP FRIED EVERYTHING!? THERE IS NO REASON TO DEEP FRY OREOS

7. The confederate flag means American Pride to people Just as much as the Actual American Flag

The original "fragile, entitled, snowflake" who can't get over their loss. LINCOLN WON, BRECKINRIDGE LOST. GET OVER IT.

8. Everyone gloats about the diabetic sweet tea served here

There's nothing to gloat about when it comes to obesity.

9. The KKK is still active in some parts of NC

SOMEHOW THIS IS NORMAL!!??

10. When you live in a small town, you just name the nearest biggest city when telling people where you are from.

I say I'm from Raleigh, but I am really from Smithfield.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours.
