A Confederate Rant
Posted on October 17th, 2008
So my school had this really good deal where a certain number of people could buy Halloween Horror Night tickets for five dollars, which is awesome, because tickets are usually priced around three billion dollars. Or, y’know, eighty. Anyways, if you buy tickets through the school, you have to take a bus with everyone else to the event.
Well, there’s really no room to complain when you’re getting such an awesome deal, but you also have to know that when you leave the event at one in the morning, there’s going to be a handful of retards that have no courtesy and are going to do things like sing and dance and hop up and down in the bus seat for the two hour drive home.
Unfortunately, last night on the way home from Halloween Horror Nights, there was no exception. Even though most people were quiet and sleeping, a group of people situated directly behind me proceeded to talk (as loud as they possibly could, mind you) about how anybody who does not like caramel apples is a nerd, and other drivel nobody should be subjected to have to know about.
And then this one really classy lady with the shrillest voice I have ever heard goes on to tell the entire bus, “this bus driver sucks, DUH, because it’s a Florida driver! ALL FLORIDA DRIVERS SUCK. All you Florida drivers are SO SLOW. OH MY GOD!” At this point, her shrill voice had nearly made my ears bleed so I nearly turned around and schooled her.
This is so irritating to me. I hate when the northerners come to school here and do nothing but complain about where they are. I’m POSITIVE there are plenty of schools just like this one in New York or Massachusetts or where ever else you’re from. You enjoy our weather? Then why don’t you come here for a short vacation in the summer or something, and NOT come to school here, where you’ll be immersed in all things Florida for roughly nine mouths of the year, for four years.
I’ve also heard students here say things like, “Oh my GOD, if I hear another person say ‘ya’ll’ or ‘ain’t', I’m going to hit somebody!” It really makes me want to give a presentation to everybody and be all, “Oh, hi, I don’t know if you’ve studied a map lately, but I’d like to point out that Florida is considered to be a part of the southern region of the US.” I’m sorry if our dialect differs from yours, but your complaining isn’t going to change the way we’ve been speaking for the past three trillion years. Get over it and go make yourself a cup of coiyfee, retard.
Ok, you so hit on a point that me and my friends constantly complain about when northerners come to Florida, their CONSTANT complaining about EVERYTHING. It’s either about the weather (that it gets too hot, or isn’t cold enough), southern accents, slow talkers, slow drivers, Florida is boring, blah, blah, blah. I usually have one thing to say, “why the hell are you still here?”
Seriously, I don’t get it.
Btw, did you like Halloween Horror Nights? I thought the houses were pretty decent. It would have been nice to score a discount like you did, though. I miss USF, they gave the coolest discounts and freebies, ever.
Yeah, it’s seriously irritating. If New York is SO, SO, SO much better (in every SINGLE way), why don’t they go back? D: It makes me want to buy a huge rebel flag and drape it around myself and just walk around saying, “HEY, YA’LL! AIN’T THIS CUTE?!?”
Yeah, HHN was good. I’d never gone before. It was scary at some points but I guess my mind is slightly too reasonable to completely enjoy it, because I had to keep reassuring my best friend that it’s all for fun, haha.
Yeah, I go to St. Leo and they’ve done a lot of stuff like that so far, and nothing is ever more than five bucks. It’s pretty cool.

I’ll admit, when I first moved down here from Massachusetts, I complained up and down about how much I hated Florida. One it wasn’t by choice on my part since I was only 15 and two it was a huge change for me from being in a city where everything is just a walk or little bus ride away, also building apartments were used for houses and not companies!
But, since being here for 5 years now, I’ve sucked it up and actually like being here. Not so much for the weather, but because there are tons of more opportunities here for me rather then in my little ghetto hometown back up north!
Now back to other topic…I have been for a good 5 solid years and have YET to go to HHN. Lame I know! Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be going again this year…not that I’ll lose sleep over it, but one year I will go! =D
BTW: sorry you had to suffer for two hours with a bunch of obnoxious people. I remember those days in high school. =(
As always, I completely agree with you. Only because I deal with the same exact stuff on a daily basis. I mean, like, this one time in my CJ class, when they had a discussion about how New York will always be infinitely better than Florida.. I was like “GO BACK, RIGHT NOW!”
Anyways. It’s crap.
