1. They don't like vegetables.

I eat one carrot and suddenly I'm a health nut.

2. Monogrammed EVERYTHING.

I really don't understand the incessant need to monogram literally everything. Bags, blankets, umbrellas, cars. It never ends.

3. A "hot minute" means a long time.

This one took me a good year to understand. I don't get it, but if someone says I'll help you in a 'hot minute', you're better off just doing it yourself.

4. If you don't wear big T-shirts and norts, you're trying too hard.

The bigger, the better.

5. Hushpuppies.

Yes, hushpuppies have their own point because I never knew about them growing up. Coming to NC, I have probably gained 10 pounds just in hushpuppy weight. I'm not mad about it.

6. Country music is the only way to get turnt on a Saturday night.

The amount of bars I've gone to cranking Country music is too dang high.

7. "Bless her heart" is NOT a compliment.

Especially if it's said with a smile. Terrifying.

8. Sweet tea.

The South knows how to make it right.

9. People love riding on the back of a pickup.

In New Mexico, people love stacking anything they can into their trucks- mattresses, dogs, random pieces of wood. In the South, it's more just how many people you can fit in one vehicle without anyone falling out the back.

10. Everyone has a different name for their Grandma.

Meemaw. Mimi. G-ma. Granny. It's hard to keep track.

11. "Yes Ma'am" and "Yes Sir" are said more than please and thank you.

I have never called anyone sir in my entire life.

12. Everyone is way too nice.

Seriously, I'm like the devil compared to these people.
