13 Things All Mississippians Have Done

Think simply residing in the Magnolia State is enough to make you a Mississippian? Well, technically, it is. But to really be considered official, there are certain things you just have to do; here are 13 of them.

1. Master the art of avoiding whatever animal runs out in front of your vehicle.

2. Learn to navigate “back roads” (especially at night) as if you’re a professional driver.

4. Have the strength to survive a vicious attack...by fire ants or pesky mosquitoes.

8. Make it through at least one intense Mississippi summer.

9. Which means, finding a great swimming spot is necessary.

10. Dine at an amazing restaurant that’s hidden in a small town.

11. Spend an afternoon at a crawfish or shrimp boil.

12. Indulge on some famous Mississippi barbecue.

13. Remove a snake, raccoon, bird, or some other unwanted critter from your home. (I can personally attest to this one.)

Have you done everything on this list? What else would you add?
