Friday, August 3rd is #NationalGeorgiaDay; and let’s be real, Georgia basically rules the South!
Here are some things that are just too true about Georgia!
You\’re automatically a Braves fan!
You may have been to only one game (just to check out the stadium), but you know every song between every inning, you still get dressed up to go to the games, and you freak out every time you make it on the jumbo tron!
There\’s always traffic…
You\’re always 30 minutes away from where you\’re trying to get, but it\’s going to take you an hour… no matter where you are… South side? Traffic. North side? Traffic. Downtown? Trafficccccc.
Backwoods, dirt road? Traffic… aka a bunch of cars rolling slowly behind a tractor.
Because traffic is so bad in Atlanta many people are turning to horses. pic.twitter.com/sLZhlmJ05l

If you miss an exit in Atlanta, you lose at least an hour of your life 🚗

A Waffle House on every exit!
I\’m not exaggerating when I say there are 2 to 3 Waffle Houses per exit!
One thing I learned on my trip to the Atlanta metropolitan area is Damn ya\’ll have a lot of waffles houses ! Like on every corner 🤣😂🤣😂

Walk outside in Atlanta, go any direction, you\’ll run into a Waffle House.

Our weather is ridiculous…
Most of our storms are pollen storms, it\’s also blazing hot most of the year, we only have two seasons: Summer and Winter; so yes, it is the end of the world when we see a snowflake falling from the sky!

God just be doing the most when it comes to Georgia weather. Like it had all week to rain … now all of sudden I’m off work on a SATURDAY and it decides to rain, keep that same energy GOD. -___-

Our sweet tea is the real deal!
Tea was meant to be SWEET. Did you learn nothing from the Boston Tea Party? Rule 1 of visiting Georgia, NEVER ask for an \”unsweet\” tea at a restaurant.
Lives in Georgia for a day: IM A SOUTHERNER NOW Y’All give me sweet tea it’s heritage not hate
— Kyrie Ambrosia-Brown (@kyri_ous) August 1, 2018
I say y’all like I’m drinking sweet tea in Georgia on my front porch.

We take sports very seriously…
One of the first questions you\’ll be asked by a Georgian is whether you are UGA (Dawgs) or GT (Tech)!
And if you don\’t like the Braves, you will be asked to leave… No offense.

GT Fan: I hate UGA!
Me: Um, you\’re not going to the GT game vs UNC today?
GT Fan: What game? What\’s a UNC? *screams THWG again* https://t.co/66wF3xY2hC— Proud UGA Homer (@CFB929) September 30, 2017
It\’s called a \”Coke.\”
Soda? Anything carbonated is a \”coke.\” Coca-Cola runs this state, and anyone who loves Pepsi is a traitor.
In 1998, a Georgia student was suspended for wearing a Pepsi shirt to \”Coke in Education Day.\”

When giving directions, it\’s by landmarks, not street names!
The true mark of a Georgian is when they give directions by landmarks. (Bonus points if one is a Waffle House or Chick-fil-a!)
Tip: If you ask for directions in Georgia, the answer is always “after the Waffle House but before the Chick-fil-A”
— Jeffrey A. Barnes (@drdisneyland) July 30, 2018
Me giving directions: “you’re gonna turn at the next light by the Waffle House, McDonalds and gas station” *realizes that’s literally every corner in Georgia*
— Ryan Elise (@ryannelisee) June 16, 2018
We probably associate directions with landmarks, because of all the \”Peachtree\” streets…
Directions in Georgia: Go down Peachtree Highway, take the Peachtree Blvd exit, go 2 miles and turn left on Peachtree Street, then right at Peachteee Lane, and finally pull into Peachteee Estates.

It\’s not dirt… It\’s Georgia red clay…
We\’ve got dirt, but most of that \”dirt\” is red and hard… Our red clay is EVERYWHERE.

Everyone is \”sir\” and \”mam\” regardless of age!
When a Georgian goes to any other state, we are thoroughly offended when people don\’t say: \”Please/Thank you/Yes, mam/sir.\”
It\’s just manners.
3 months in Georgia and now I end every sentence with \”sir\” or \”mam.\” Damn you southern hospitality

Knowing every word to the Shane Co. commercial… and every location!
If you\’re from Georgia, you recite every word along with the commercial.
You aren\’t from Georgia if you don\’t know the Shane Co commercial by heart
— Nash (@Jacob_Nashh) August 4, 2014
I JUST QUOTED THE ENTIRE SHANE CO COMMERCIAL AND NO ONE HERE DID IT WITH ME. I\’m not in Georgia anymore…
— Lauren Abby Wilson (@laaawilson) April 26, 2017
If you grew up in Atlanta and don\’t have the Shane Co commercial memorized, did you really grow up in Atlanta?
— Austin Solheim (@ajsolheim) July 22, 2015
I don\’t know how to balance a checkbook, but I can name all the Shane Co. Jewelers Atlanta area locations and business hours 💍

Rites of passage: shootin\’ the \’Hooch, climbing Stone Mountain, tubing on any lake (bonus if it\’s Allatoona or Jackson), visiting Helen, going to the Perry Fair, partying in Athens, biking the BeltLine, riding Marta, eating at the Varisty…
If you’re from Georgia, regardless of what part I’m gonna support you whether I know you or not , that’s just how I feel 🤷🏽♀️

Having to explain to every non-Georgian that it isn\’t just Atlanta…
And cringing every time someone calls us, \”Hotlanta.\”
“Where are you from?”
“Georgia”
“What part of Georgia?”
“Sandersville”
“Wait, what’s it near?”
“It’s, well it’s kinda in the middle of Milledgeville, Lake Oconee, Augusta…???”
“Huh?”
“I live in Atlanta. I live in my car on I-75 with sweet tea, peaches, and Chick-fil-A.” https://t.co/igMi6ZCIUP— Drew Wilson (@drwilson17) July 6, 2018
