I’m in Memphis, and no adapting cause I’m originally from Arkansas. One of these days I’m going to get out of the South, but apparently not yet. Where are you in TN?
I’m in Knoxville. I keep telling myself I going to get out of the South too. Not from the south, don’t really want to be in the south, yet I’ve been in different parts of the south since 18 when I went to college in VA.
I don’t have fond memories of driving through Arkansas, so I assume Memphis is a step up?
So I looked at a map because I’m terrible at geography, and then I laughed because we’re literally as far apart as two people could get and still be in TN.
I’m double majoring in psych and French. I’m actually studying abroad in France right now but it’s only for another month so I didn’t count it lol. what brings you to TN?
France is fantastic, there’s an outdoor food market basically on my doorstep three times a week and pastries are the best things ever and the public transportation is cheap and can take me to the beach in an hour. I give it an 8/10 on the awesome scale, with points getting taken away for the fact that I spend most of my time sitting in my apartment with flickering internet writing painful essays in French and the fact that for the first time in my life I don’t have people to make music with. How do you like Memphis?? very importantly, have you tried Germantown Commissary barbecue?
Haven’t had that one yet. So far I’ve had The Barbeque Shop, Corky’s, and International (I think that’s right). So far I like Memphis but I’ve barely done anything. I feel like I spend all my time studying :(
welcome! i moved here about 3 years ago. what part of TN are you in? how are you adapting to the south (if you’re not originally from the south)?

Yeah I’d consider it a small step up. It’s definitely the most populated place I’ve ever lived in.

lol. yep. it’s a good 6 hours. TN is a long state. we could be further if i lived in Johnson City, which is at the NE corner or TN.
hot damn I’m from Memphis too (going to college in Nashville) we should be friends. yay I’m not the only queer girl in town! :D
Score! What are you in school for?
I’m double majoring in psych and French. I’m actually studying abroad in France right now but it’s only for another month so I didn’t count it lol. what brings you to TN?
Optometry school.
Just to make me incredibly jealous, exactly how awesome is France?
