You Know You're From Marion/Mullins When...

Whether you were a Swamp Fox, Auctioneer, or Eagle, you can relate.

You know you're from Marion or Mullins when...

"How's your momma and them?" is a real question asked multiple times on a daily basis. And we are genuinely concerned about how your mother is.

The only traffic jam you experienced driving to school/work in the morning is a tractor slowing everyone up (or the train if you live in Mullins).

You know everyone you will graduate/graduated with (and still do if you're an adult living here).

You know where to find the best strawberries around.

Your best friend's dad owns the local restaurant, just ran for an office, and served as the President of the school board once or twice.

Your other best friend's mom was your favorite teacher in elementary school, and it's not weird that you spend every weekend at your teacher's house.

You get asked where you're from whenever you leave town because of that thick accent you "supposedly" have.

The tobacco leaf is your favorite flower.

You probably know the man that owns the produce stand on 76.

When explaining to people where you live, "In between Florence and Myrtle Beach" is your best option. Literally no one knows where we are, even people from South Carolina.

The Little Pee Dee River (shout out to Fork Retch) is the source of entertainment during the warm months.

If you took dance, you took it from Mrs. Emmalyn.

Your mama fixes supper with fresh vegetables you picked from the garden about an hour ago.

Everyone knows everyone and what car they drive and what church they go to and what they did last weekend (and probably what they're doing next weekend).

Fred's truly has the best fried chicken.

The Spanish moss is so beautiful on Main Street in Marion.

You wouldn't trade this quaint little small town or the wonderful people in it for the world.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
