Thanks, Marissa 
I was in class the other day and my professor was talking about morals, standards, ect. He said, for instance, would you date outside your race, religion, sex, ect. There were about 20 people who yelled "NO!" with a disgusted look on their face. I was appalled. He asked one of people why and he responded, "I don't date people who aren't Morman."

First of all, OMG IT'S KATIE!!!@!!!!!!1111
Secondly, I'm was born and raised in North Carolina and here's some common things I get asked:
"Does everyone smoke down there? Do you smoke?" -Yes, "everyone" smokes down here (I'd say like 20%-30% regularly) and I do not pay more than $3.25 for a pack of cigarettes.
"Do you like NASCAR?" - While my brother and dad like NASCAR and watch it regularly, I don't. I just have a favorite driver (just to fit it around here I guess
) For the record "my driver" is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Just because.
"You're from Charlotte? That's in South Carolina, right?" -NO. NO NO NO NO NO. CHARLOTTE IS IN NORTH CAROLINA. I'm sure DeeGeMe could tell you how aggravating it is when people get North Carolina & South Carolina confused. They are VERY different. (Marissa will tell you it's like the difference b/w North and South Jersey because it really is.)
"Do you go to the beach a lot?" No. I don't ever go to the beach. The closest beach is Myrtle which is 3 hours away. I haven't been to the Outer Banks since I was a kid because it's 7 1/2 hours by car. I kid you not. It would take about 10 hours to drive from one end of NC to the other.
Lastly, it's hilarious how many of my friends here are shocked that I'm a "native" Charlottean. I can't tell you how many people I know have told me that I am the ONLY person they know that is actually FROM Charlotte.
