Moving is hard enough, especially when it is from the Northeast to the South. You are going to experience new people, new culture, and new weather. The best way to do it is to go with the flow and just embrace the change. I moved to the South and it was hard to adjust. Once I got the hang of things, I loved it!

  1. SUN, SUN, SUN!
  2. I can finally tan all year long!
  3. I’ll never have to wear a sweater again.
  4. I’ll never be cold again.
  5. I can’t wait to be in constant heat.
  6. I wonder what sweet tea tastes like...
  7. What is Southern style food, really?
  8. So much comfort food!!
  9. The food will be so good
  10. The people will be so much nicer
  11. So much "y’all."
  12. It is so warm.
  13. No more sweaters!

  15. The food is so good!

  26. Everyone holds the door open for me... This must be how queens live.
  27. It's 50 degrees out and I see coats… Why?
  28. It's still so warm out. I thought it was Winter?
  29. It’s so cold… and it is 50 degrees. Who am I anymore?
  30. Live, love, Chick-fil-A.
  31. I am so happy I moved.
  32. No more snow!
  33. I have learned that "bless your heart" can go either way.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
