1. Cockroaches roam the kitchen at night. Think twice before you go get a midnight snack. It might be a cockroach sandwich (what-what!)
2. This is what happens when you go running here:
3. There aren't only white people here. And sometimes people dress immodestly (!!!!)
4. That lady at the grocer's seems 10 x nicer because she called you "sweetie." You may or may not respond in a country accent.
5. Your best friend from the womb may have become a southern belle after living here for just a few short years. This may happen to you.
6. You may spend your Friday night playing Speed Scrabble with your 60+ year-old parents, and that's cool. Because you have no friends anyway.
7. Get used to seeing people wear polos, khaki shorts, and rainbows - and get used to not judging them for this.
8. You may be surprised that people out here don't really curl their hair nor do they really even FIX it - gives me the option of NOT blowing my hair every day, I'm cool with that!
9.Get used to feeling extreme amounts of stress and feeling like THIS because you don't have a job and you are a recent graduate:
10. If you live at the Hatch residence, get used to eating 5 x more vegetable servings per meal than you did in the past year of your life away from home.

OK, I CANNOT stop laughing out loud!!! That picture is the funniest ever! I have noticed the prevalence of polos, khakis, and rainbows in NC and also that bed head hair is totally cool. Have seen the roaches yikes! And yes, Scrabble with mom and dad is cool. Luv ya!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Lindsey! I need to move there. I hate doing my hair. By the way, Mariah talks about going to Lindsey's house more than once a day here. Whenever she plays that she is driving a car, she is driving to your house! Go figure. I guess you really made an impression : )
