Admit it. Living in South Carolina is no piece of cake. There are plenty of other places you’d RATHER live, right? It’s just no fun spending all your time at the beach, or hiking in the mountains… and who ever decided that seeing the sunrise over the ocean is such a big deal anyway? Let’s take a look at all the (phony) reasons why it’s so terrible living in paradise.

1. Life is just so chaotic.

It's just impossible to find the time - or the place - to relax.
2. Oof. There's just no real beauty in the landscape.

3. We have just awful weather.

4. There is absolutely nothing to do.

It's so boring here, especially after you've already visited the handful of outdoor attractions.
5. All the beaches have been spoiled.

Trying to find a good beach is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
