I just moved to mississippi and really hate it. Please spare the country/hick jokes. I graduated highschool and the whole family moved up here because it was my dads "dream" to move back to his home state once my brother and I had finished grade school. My brother and I absolutely HATE this place. There is absolutely no resemblance to back home, not that I expected there to be, but nothing at all is the same even being that its a college town. Everyone here are little druggies that smoke weed and take tabs all day to go out rolling their *** off. We really don't like it, and my father seems to think its the same as almost a full 20 years ago. Now I understand by meeting people things will get better, but i'm not the one to start a conversation with anyone and everyone. I didn't really have a shitload of FRIENDS back home, but I knew almost 3/4 of my school, and bring that its 4500+ kids, I knew quite a few people. The only thing to do here is work to make it out. Its kind of ironic that the majority of people here have the same mindset. Noone here says "your rich you can make it out easier than us". Everyone is honestly doing what they can to get out. I know guys making 100 every two weeks saving every penny but what food costs to get out. I also know people making a grand every two weeks trying to make it out, but for certain reasons still can't. Its rediculous how coming from one place I thought I hated so much because of all the spanish people screaming spanish all day and all the lunatic tourists, to a place where people get mad when you ring the doorbell instead of knock, or call at 10 pm for their 18 yr old son or daughter, you can realize how much you loved the past place. Who has some advice for me, be it ways to get out, or ways to try and make it better. One thing I hate is that I have seen so many blunts smoked in the 4 months i've been here, I wouldn't mind not seeing a **** swisha for a few years. I don't smoke but everyone around me does, and I personally don't like it. ANYWAYS, any help on how to make it better/to get out would be cool.
PS: another reason i don't just leave, is I don't pay for my car/insurance and my parents are building a huge house with my own garage on it. I would feel bad leaving them to a house they truly built for me and my brother.
