We all know it's true that being from the south is a completely different world at times.

1. You know at least one person who sounds like they came out of 'Gone With the Wind'.

It's all about the accent!

2. People are always asking where you are from because of your accent.

The accent gives off that we aren't from the typical cities. Everyone has to try and figure out where we are from. It's like a guessing game!

3. You think that butter, bacon and sweet tea are the Holy Grail.

4. 'Y'all' is the only way to address two or more people.

5. You're are always hearing "Don't call me ma'am/sir, it makes me feel old".

We were raised to always say 'yes ma'am' and 'no ma'am' and it drives people that weren't raised the same way insane. Some people even think of it as an insult, but we promise it isn't meant to be.

6. "Bless your heart" is the best way to insult someone when you aren't wanting to curse.

7."Coke" refers to any kind of soda.

No matter where you go, you always refer to soda as Coke. Then you get the question of regular or diet, and then it gets to be a little confusing for those that don't understand.

8. Wearing white after Labor Day is a big no no.

Just leave it at this, some people would consider this a sin. You just don't do it.

9. You are always looking forward to "Mud-bug" season.

Crawfish season is the best season, and we are always hoping it comes early.

10. You will always love the south, and you will always call it home.

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.
