You Might Be A Little Country If You Say Any Of These 9 Phrases
Macey Mullins

"Bro," "Whats crackin'," "What's up fam," "Lit," "Howdy," "Y'all," and the list goes on.

America is full of diversity, different cultures, and people from all around the world. From California to Southern Florida and back around again, these phrases are used by people who are country folk at heart. If you say any of these 9 phrases, you may just be a little country.

1. Yee Yee

You say this when you are fixin' to do something that you want people to pay attention to, typically something risky. Yee yee is also a synonym of "yeehaw."

2. Fixin'

It's just how we say "getting ready to." You could say "I'm fixin' to go get some food" or something along those lines.

3. As all get out

There are a number of "all get outs." You can be excited as all get out, mad as all get out, sappy as all get out, etc. As you see here, Pooh is excited as all get out to eat dinner.

4. Bless your heart

When someone does something with sincerity, like mowing an old man's grass because they saw that he was struggling to do it himself. It can also be said when someone says something that's a little goofy or silly.

5. I Reckon

Simply another way to say "I believe" or "I guess."

6. She's as pretty as a peach

"There's nothing prettier than a warm day picking peaches in the sunshine." It's a great compliment to receive, it means you're good looking.

7. Too big for his britches

Someone who is pretty doggone full of themselves. If a person is too big for his britches he is often cocky, and egotistical.

8. Hush up

Just another way to say "shut up" without it sounding so edgy.

9. Plum wore out

You can say you're plum wore out when you worked a 12-hour shift outside in the 90 degrees weather, and you're ready to hit the hay. (Hit the hay means go to bed, in case you didn't know.)

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.
