Introduction	If I was asked to describe myself in only one word it’d be Southern. Growing up below the Mason Dixon Line has defined my entire existence. For eighteen years I lived in Macon, Georgia where sweet tea flows like water, grits are a breakfast staple, churches are on every street corner, double names are popular, and “yes mam” or “yes sir” is the correct answer to each and every question. And, I’m here to tell you, all these aspects of Southern life are a foreign concept to New York natives. Nonetheless, I never wanted anything more than to become a NYU Fighting Violet. When I first arrived, I tried to camouflage my Southern upbringing. However my love of Vera Bradley and constant use of "y'all" quickly proved to much to hide. There's no denying it, I'm a Southern Belle who's been relocated to most urban city in the world. Through this blog, I hope to show what it really means to be a Southerner in the City.
