Here Are 15 Things To Avoid In South Carolina At All Costs

No one thinks that South Carolina can be a risky place to live, but au contrare mon ami, it can be quite the dangerous place. Especially if you plan to move here. Most people who already live here may be immune to the things I’m about to mention. Here are 15 things that you should avoid at all costs because they can be quite addictive!

1. Smiling faces. South Carolinians tend to be quite happy in their everyday lives.

2. Majestic mountains. Be aware that they can cause delight to the senses and make you want to twirl on mountain tops.

3. Beautiful beaches. Don't go there unless you want to relax, feel the salt air upon your skin, and soak up some sun.

4. Our hidden gems. Avoid these potential spots because they can cause quite the flutter in your heart from excitement.

5. Our comfort foods. Beware of these potential dishes of flavor. The side effect may be that you will enjoy it and want more of it.

6. Our doughnuts. I warn you that these can be potentially hazardous to your emotional state. You may experience sugar euphoria and possible addiction as well.

7. Our spectacular waterfalls. They are not for the faint of heart and can be quite captivating to your soul.

8. Don't even think of going to our festivals. There is an extreme amount of fun going on at these events and you just might enjoy yourself.

9. Don't drink the sweet tea. Just save yourself now. Otherwise, it may become something you need to have everyday.

10. Our gorgeous sunrises should not be taken lightly. They can potentially cause early alarms and no one wants that.

11. And, just skip the amazing sunsets altogether. It has been said that watching our sunsets can bring about a relaxed state of body that no one should have to endure. Save yourself now.

12. Beware our luxurious lakes. They can make you want to do something relaxing like fishing or swimming and splashing in the water. The side effects of that could be laughter. So, I warn you now.

13. Don't go looking around for our unique locations. Giddiness may ensue as well as a rapid picture taking.

14. Our hiking trails should come with their own warnings. Being out in the fresh air and consuming great gulps of it could make you feel really good. Put on top of that, a good hike and you have the perfect storm for smiles and a great feeling about yourself.

15. Please, do yourself a favor and forget all about the jaw-dropping views and places we have here in South Carolina. Just seeing one can make you want to see all of them.

I might want to rethink what I said before and tell you that living in South Carolina can dangerous! Seriously, however, you cannot go wrong with whatever road you take in South Carolina. You are going to see some amazing sights. Whether they are old tobacco barns being eaten by kudzu or wisteria, a beach, a lake, etc. I absolutely love this state. I’m so glad that I was born here in South Carolina and that my mom instilled in me the beauty of the land all around me.
