Question: Southerner living in the north!? !?
I live in the South, not on a farm or anything but actually in a pretty big city!. I was thinking about going to college up north!. I like the cold and for some reason the North has always appealed to me!. However, i've heard that the people are extremely "different" from southerners and that people from the South don't enjoy living up North!. Has anyone from the South experienced this!? Or did anyone really liek the North!? tell me what you think! thanks Www@QuestionHome@Com

Trust me, it will really depend on where you are andwhat idiots you run into!. I was born in California, but with the exception of like two or three weeks (four at the most), I've lived my entire life eithier in New England or down south!. California to Massachusetts, Massachusetts to South Carolina, South Carolina to Virginia, Virginia to Alabama, Alabama to North Carolina (best state ever in my opinion), North Carolina to New Hampshire!. Being only a few weeks old when we moved I have no memories of California!. So all my memories are from the last six states!. And there are people in New England who are certainly quite nice!. But you will run into idiots who have never been down south and who will make fun of the south!. When my family moved to New Hampshire back when I was in grade school I had kids making fun of me because of my accent and they figured that because I was from the south I must have been a total idiot!. But I knew a lot of things they didn't which tended to shock them when it was revealed!. Actually, what probably shocked them more was that I was as smart as most of them, if not smarter!.

You've got plenty of idiots who tend to view everyone from the south as being stupid, backwards hicks which isn't true!. And you yourself would be able to shut some of them up, if only for a while!. But some of the smarter folks will be more interested in who you are, not where your from!. They'll be a less likely to put the south down as they'll have either moved from down south or will have visited quite a bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
