15 Signs You Grew Up In South Carolina

Being from the Palmetto State, you notice that things are a bit different around here. Here are 15 things you'll definitely recognize if you were blessed enough to grow up in the Palmetto State. Pledge your love, loyalty, and faith.

1. Everyone is obsessed with the palmetto tree and moon from the state flag. People put it on everything

2. There are more churches than you can count.

3. The humidity is ridiculously intense.

4. But not as intense as the rivalry between Clemson and University of South Carolina.

5. USC does not mean University of Southern California. And Carolina does not mean University of North Carolina.

6. If you wear a shirt that says "FU" on it, no one will question you.

7. We're in the national news for the most bizarre stories. Most recently, the clowns originated in Greenville.

8. You can't go outside without bug spray.

9. Summerville was the birthplace of sweet tea, so we live off of it.

10. We're also the birthplace of some pretty weird foods, like mustard based BBQ.

11. If one flake of snow falls from the sky, everyone loses their minds. And school is canceled.

12. Pepsi is more common than Coke, since it originated in the Carolinas.

13. Fireworks are legal here, so there are lots of firework stores surrounding the border. You're welcome, North Carolina and Georgia.

14. You know that "bless your heart" is anything but a compliment.

15. And everyone says "y'all."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
