Your daughter should really come to Ole Miss! She’ll LOVE the Southern gentleman here and the sweet Southern ladies. Of course, it’ll be a HUGE culture shock, but tell your daughter to keep an open mind and an open heart. She’ll definitely be accepted into the university.

I’ll give some tips on how to adjust to the South:

1. Be courteous.
Make sure your daughter knows her “Yes ma’ams” and “Yes sirs” before she comes here.

2. When somebody looks at you, smile!

3. Never hold the door for men. I did once, and the man just stood there! It was awkward. Always wait for the man to come over and hope that he has the courtesy to hold the door for a young lady like your daughter.

4. Don’t curse openly. I do all the time at home and with friends, but in public, it’s slightly frowned upon.

5. Be happy and open to share stories about Boston.

6. If somebody jabs at your daughter for being a Yankee, just say that the past is the past, and it’s time to move on.

I hope your daughter finds Ole Miss to be as awesome and Southern sweet as I have. Hotty toddy!
