Let the northerners have their crepes and French toast... we'll stick to biscuits, thanks.

2. There is only one kind of tea, and it's cold and very sweet.

If you don't know what sweet tea is, then you've never truly lived. Who needs water when you have this sugary goodness?

Football does happen, but you know all good tailgates start well before the game and end way after the game is over.

4. Snow days are a real thing in the South, and they are beautiful.

Nothing is better than hearing that it might snow an inch overnight. Nothing.

You'll find no higher concentration of fried foods anywhere else, and it is absolutely glorious.

What campus is complete without boat shoes, sunglasses, polos, wavy hair crammed under weathered ball caps, and puppies playing in the front lawn?

7. The campuses are all gorgeous.

8. "Y'all" is a word — it doesn't matter what the dictionary (or anyone else, for that matter) says.

You immediately feel like you can trust anyone you meet if they talk like this.

9. Football is king.

There are only two seasons in the year: football season, and the offseason.

10. Pastel colors and popped collars just make sense together.

Throw in some beachfronts, boats, and chill music, and you have a party.

11. The parties are the best in the country.

Warm weather and awesome people make for a really good time, all of the time.

12. But in all seriousness, the educational experience is one of a kind.

With schools leading the nation in engineering, medicine, and other concentrations, it's no wonder everyone pretty much wants to move to the South for school.

13. Face it, going to college in the South is the envy of the rest of the country.
