9 Things Only People From Charleston Will Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

1. You’d do almost anything to have another Kanawha County School pizza roll.

2. You can’t walk to class without seeing someone you kinda sorta knew in high school.

3. You’ve had to explain to people what “creekers” are.

4. Going to bars on breaks basically consists of cramming all of WVU and then kids who went out of state into either Vino’s or Big Joes.

5. You feel a personal connection with Jennifer Garner, because you had the same 7th grade science teacher or you saw her and Ben at Ellen’s Ice Cream one time.

6. Sigma Chi is nicknamed Sigma Charleston for a reason.

 

7. The entire city of Charleston migrates to Hilton Head during the summer. It’s a little bit freaky.

 

8. You know all the scoop about a ton of people your new out of state friends don’t know because you’ve known these people your whole life.

9. You sometimes complain about living in Charleston but when you really think about it, you wouldn’t have wanted to grow up anywhere else.
