1. As soon as your train back home starts passing through countryside, you feel really cosy.
2. And you know exactly where your first stop is going to be.
3. When it comes to accents, you can't get it right. If you don't sound northern enough, people will question your credentials.
4. But if you sound too northern, people will just mimic everything you say.
5. And when you go home, everyone will say you sound posh.
6. Whenever you meet anyone who's from the same-ish quarter of the country as you, you'll be instant best friends.
7. And if it turns out you've been to the same crap small-town nightclub, you know your friendship's gonna last.
8. You miss proper chip-shop chips more than you thought you would.
9. And even if you do find a decent chip shop down south, you're not guaranteed to find gravy on the menu.
10. That said, you'll get pretty used to having a massive range of cuisines to pick between when you go out to eat.
11. At some point you'll meet someone who takes real pride in the fact they've never been north of London.
12. You feel sad for people who didn't grow up surrounded by the gorgeous northern countryside.
13. And even sadder for people who didn't go on northern seaside trips in the summer.
14. You know it's a cliché, but Jesus Christ the South is expensive.
15. Especially haircuts.
16. You'll learn that the rest of the country didn't grow up watching Waterloo Road.
17. They also didn't grow up drinking Cheeky Vimtos.
18. The rest of the country believe a whole load of boring stereotypes about the North.
19. Although some of them are true. Like the fact that you have no problem going out without a coat on.
20. If you ever take one of your southern friends back home, they'll marvel at how clearly they can see the stars.
21. They'll also marvel at how orange everyone looks.
