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

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
