Growing up above the Mason-Dixon line and going to a southern college can show you a whole new world. Between learning new words and eating new foods, you’ve definitely had to adapt to life here in the south. Here are 15 signs you’re a northerner at a southern school:
1. Everyone talks a bit slower
2. People seem nicer in general…
3. Your road rage doesn’t fit in
4. You lost your Chick-fil-A virginity freshman year
5. …and had your first experience with grits in the dining hall
6. Y’all became a word in your vocabulary
7. It’s now normal to call people sir and ma’am
8. You got used to seeing Confederate flags
9. Cowgirl boots became a staple in your wardrobe
10. You gained a greater appreciation for country music
11. Which also translated into a greater appreciation for country boys…
12. Burnetts and Busch became weekend staples
13. You learned how to play stump

15. You started seeing a lot more camouflage
16. And drinking a lot more sweet tea
17. And you always have something to count on!
Although we’re bred with northern blood, we wouldn’t give up our southern schools for anything!
