You might be a “Southie” if...

So I just moved to Mississippi for school last week, and holy cow is it a transition! First the accents, I can't understand half the people here, especially with the masks. Second, the cicadas. What sort of cicadas do you people have that sing NON-STOP throughout the day and night!?!?! Third, the food... where's the beef? I had a turkey cheeseburger yesterday, and now I'm not sure I deserve to be called a Nebraskan! And lastly, the rain. Oh, the rain. Why is there so much rain? I looked it up, and in my hometown our average yearly rainfall is 21 inches. Here it is 55. I clearly do not know how to Mississippi. On the upside, campus is gorgeous, most people are friendly, and I have yet to see an alligator.

Oxford?
As to the fake burger, that was on campus, right?

Starkville
Yep, fake burger was on campus. It really seems like there is a lot less beef here though.

Unfortunately, for the next couple of months you’re stuck with the suck that is the “deep southie summer”. I always end up laughing at how many ways the weather reporting can use to describe daily thunderstorms here in Florida. Here’s the forecast this week where I live:
Thunderstorms around, widely separated thunderstorms, scattered thunderstorms, thundershowers, possibility of thunderstorms, and periods of thunderstorms.
But however miserable the summer weather is, it is offset by the awesome weather here in the winter, so at least you have the “deep southie winter” to look forward to!

Give it time, you'll find a good burger. As for the accent, think of it as British English slowed down.

However short that may be.
My forecast is more like winter begins at 5 am, spring at 10 am, summer at 2 pm, and fall at 5 pm. Dress accordingly.

This conversation reminded me of those old Wendy’s ‘Where’s The Beef” commercials:

I've been told layers are essential!

Do not believe him @FeatheredFriends&Horses2

Winter is simply our summers plus a few degrees. Of course, you being raised a Southie might enjoy it.

I have yet to get used to weather so warm that you can't leave a chocolate bar in your car unmelted. I did, however, figure how to get my ceiling fan up to the approximate speed of a small jet engine.
