1. \u201cNorth Carolina, South Carolina\u2026Same Thing, Right?\u201d<\/h2>\n

Yep\u2026 prepare to hear this a whole lot.
\nOutside of the East Coast, there\u2019s this assumption that because both North Carolina and South Carolina share part of their name, they must be the exact same. Get used to people confusing the two.<\/p>\n

2. Game Day Won\u2019t Be So Sweet<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Come fall in South Carolina, nothing is more important than college football. With several huge teams in the area and a great game day culture in the South, you\u2019ll never find another sports atmosphere that compares.<\/p>\n

3. Rivalries Won\u2019t Be As Intense<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Home to two of the most bitter rivals in the South, Auburn and University of South Carolina always manage to keep football season exciting.
\nUnfortunately, if you\u2019re leaving the area, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll have trouble finding anyone to watch big games with, let alone a few rival fans to talk trash to.<\/p>\n

4. Tea Doesn\u2019t Always Come Sweet<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, ordering tea in most parts of the country will get you some hot water and a tea bag (what is this? England?!).
\nIf you want sweet iced tea, there are only a few places you can get it year round. You\u2019ll soon become an expert at knowing where these places are and which ones you like the best.<\/p>\n

5. Barbecue Will Always Let You Down<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

In a part of the country that\u2019s famous for their barbecue, it\u2019s impossible to beat the delicious variety of mustard and vinegar based sauces found here. Regardless of where you move to, once you\u2019ve grown up a carnivore in South Carolina, nothing will compare.<\/p>\n

6. You Might Have To Buy Frozen Seafood<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

You may not have lived right on the ocean in South Carolina, but you were close enough to reap the benefits. If you end up leaving the Palmetto State for somewhere that\u2019s landlocked, don\u2019t expect the same quality of fish.<\/p>\n

7. No One Else Will Know The Carolina Shag<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User daspunkt<\/div>\n

The state dance of South Carolina, this popular swing-style dance tends to be taught to children as they\u2019re growing up in this state.
\nUnfortunately for avid fans of this dance, it\u2019s hard to find people that have even heard of it and even harder to find someone that will try a few steps with you.<\/p>\n

8. Good Hush Puppies Are Hard To Come By<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

They come in many shapes and sizes, but none will be as delicious as the ones you\u2019ll find in the Palmetto State.
\nWhile many new age American restaurants are trying to revamp this classic item with their own twist, one of the only places to find a true hushpuppy will always be South Carolina.<\/p>\n

9. It\u2019s Not As Easy To Get Wet And Wild<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User hawk684<\/div>\n

Boasting a landscape full of ponds, lakes, rivers, and views of the ocean, South Carolinians practically grow up with one foot in the water. Being able to get wet outside so often is something you\u2019re sure to miss if you leave this state.<\/p>\n

10. Friendliness Isn\u2019t Always A Natural Personality Trait<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

With some of the nicest people around, you\u2019ll definitely miss the kind-hearted goodness of the people in South Carolina when you leave.<\/p>\n

11. Happy Hours Aren\u2019t So Happy Everywhere<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User smilygrl<\/div>\n

While South Carolina has a great happy hour culture, offering cheap drinks and food for several hours throughout the day, this practice is actually banned in many places around the country.
\nMake sure you get your fix before you say goodbye if you\u2019re moving somewhere that restricts hourly deals throughout the day.<\/p>\n

12. Crabs Aren\u2019t Always Blue<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User kwpierpont<\/div>\n

Outside of this region, it will be hard to find the blue crabs that have become your favorite over the years. When you leave South Carolina, you\u2019ll be forced to eat whatever crustacean the store happens to carry that week and there\u2019s a good chance it will be quite a bit more expensive.<\/p>\n

13. Things Won\u2019t Be Quite So Red<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Gage Skidmore<\/div>\n

Known for being one of the most conservative Republican states in the country, South Carolina is basically a sea of red.
\nWhile other political parties exist here, they don\u2019t get much of a voice. If you\u2019re headed somewhere else in the country, it\u2019s almost a sure bet you\u2019ll encounter more liberals than you did back home.<\/p>\n

14. You\u2019ll Miss The Homemade Biscuits<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User fPat<\/div>\n

In South Carolina, everyone seems to have a family recipe for homemade biscuits, each one delicious in its own different way. Unfortunately, this has spoiled you. Finding a good biscuit with the right amount of fluffiness without the dryness is much harder than it sounds.<\/p>\n

15. Spanish Moss Doesn\u2019t Grow Everywhere<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User romana klee<\/div>\n

Believe it or not, all that stuff hanging from the trees in South Carolina isn\u2019t normal. Don\u2019t expect to see too much of this if you get more than a few hours away from the Palmetto State.<\/p>\n

16. Don\u2019t Worry About Dodging Gators Anymore<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User cletch<\/div>\n

While South Carolina might be home to over 100,000 alligators, this animal doesn\u2019t travel much. If you\u2019re not in one of the few parts of the country with a similar climate, you\u2019ll have one less predator to worry about.<\/p>\n

17. Expect Everyone To Point Out Your Accent<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Brian Lane Winfield Moore (cropped)<\/div>\n

South Carolinians are famous for their slow, sweet Southern drawl and if you\u2019re out-of-state, expect people to notice. They\u2019re not making fun of you though, they\u2019re just jealous.<\/p>\n

18. You\u2019ll Start Craving Good Shrimp And Grits<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User T.Tseng<\/div>\n

At this point, you can probably find a place serving up this Southern classic anywhere in the country, but there\u2019s a good chance it won\u2019t come close to meeting your standards.
\nThe shrimp won\u2019t be as fresh, the texture with the grits won\u2019t be right, and the spices will be a bit off. If you want the true shrimp and grits you\u2019re used to, the only place to find it is back home.<\/p>\n

19. Life Isn\u2019t Always A Walk On The Beach<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Michael Bentley (cropped)<\/div>\n

Make sure you take advantage of living near a beach as much as possible before you leave. Few states across the country have a shoreline that\u2019s as clean and accessible as the one in SC.<\/p>\n

20. It Might Be A Long Time Before Your Next Day At The Races<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User carlfbagge<\/div>\n

Attracting over 70,000 people every year, the Carolina Cup steeplechase horse race is one of the most exciting events of the year. Even if you\u2019re not into the sport, it\u2019s a great excuse to get fancy and share a few drinks with friends.
\nUnfortunately, you\u2019ll find there are few events that compare nationwide. Most race tracks will just let you down.<\/p>\n

21. It\u2019s Not Always So Easy To Get Outside<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Glory Cycles<\/div>\n

With so much awesome weather and seemingly endless nature to explore, South Carolina is one of the easiest places to be outdoorsy in America. Not only is everything beautiful, the winters aren\u2019t long or harsh, giving you extra time to work on your tan.
\nMuch to a travelling South Carolinian\u2019s dismay, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll never find anything that can top the weather in the Palmetto State. Every snowstorm a displaced South Carolinian encounters will have them tapping their heels to get home.<\/p>\n

22. People Won\u2019t Understand Your Sarcasm<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User acidpix<\/div>\n

People in the South have a funny way of delivering insults and it heavily relies on sarcasm.
\nWith popular sayings like \u201cbless your heart\u201d actually conveying a sense of pity, there\u2019s a good chance most outsiders will think you\u2019re complimenting them when you\u2019re actually dropping a monster slam.<\/p>\n

23. You\u2019ll Long For A Good Ole Fashioned Oyster Roast<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

In South Carolina, nothing says party like an oyster roast. People outside of the state will most likely find it strange that booze heavy celebrations are built around this shelled snack.<\/p>\n

24. Buying Roadside Food Isn\u2019t Always Normal<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User North Charleston<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of boiled peanuts, it\u2019s probably best if you never leave the South. Famous for being sold roadside in rural areas, this snack is relatively rare outside of this region.<\/p>\n

25. The Term \u201cSandlapper\u201d Doesn\u2019t Travel<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Joe Shlabotnik<\/div>\n

The nickname for South Carolinians, there\u2019s a good chance no one you encounter outside of the state will have any clue what it is.
\nUnlike terms similar to \u201cCalifornian,\u201d which obviously indicates a location and terms like \u201cHoosiers\u201d that are directly correlated to a prominent state university, Sandlapper tends to be a bit more confusing.<\/p>\n

26. People Might Find Your Seersucker Strange<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Ken_Mayer (cropped)<\/div>\n

This style of fabric is famous in the South for helping in the battle against humidity. Lightweight and textured, the unique design of this material helps keep clothing from sticking to the skin of the wearer.
\nHowever, in places where heat isn\u2019t a problem, seersucker is rarely encountered. That striped and monogrammed cotton suit you\u2019re wearing is sure to turn some heads.<\/p>\n

27. It\u2019s \u201cSouthern\u201d Hospitality For A Reason<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User xxv<\/div>\n

Don\u2019t expect people everywhere to be so polite.
\nWhile words like \u201cSir\u201d and \u201cMa\u2019am\u201d might be customary in the South Carolina region, people in other areas might find it off-putting and at times a bit insulting when what they consider to be formal terms make their way into casual conversation.<\/p>\n

28. People Might Question Your Obsession With Hot Sauce<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Loimere<\/div>\n

If one thing’s for sure, it\u2019s that South Carolinians can never have too much spice in their life. While your favorite restaurant in Charleston might have over a dozen different community hot sauce bottles for you to choose from, in most parts of the country, you\u2019re lucky if you get one.<\/p>\n

29. Snow Really Isn\u2019t That Big Of A Deal<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Evil Erin<\/div>\n

In South Carolina, people freak out when it snows. Grocery store shelves are emptied, people call in sick, and roadways become a big parking lot at the mere sign of flurries. However, in areas of the country that experience a little more of a winter, lives go on normally regardless of what falls from the sky.
\nIf you leave South Carolina for somewhere North, expect a very low tolerance for your tentative driving tendencies on slick roads.<\/p>\n

30. You\u2019ll Never Find More State Pride<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Preneur d\u2019image (cropped)<\/div>\n

It\u2019s rare to find people around the country more committed to their state than South Carolinians. Of course, it\u2019s pretty obvious why this state is so loved by its residents.
\nWith some of the best cities in the country, the most beautiful shorelines, some of the tastiest barbecue, and the freshest seafood around, South Carolina can\u2019t be beat.
