As for where I'm going:

Somewhere out west. California, New Mexico, Arizona, maybe even Texas despite the fact that it's not too westward.

You know, somewhere which isn't pussy, like the east coast.

Guns Meta. There's going to be guns.

There's going to be morbidly obese semi-human lifeforms riding around on scooters.

All natural beauty has been replaced with one huge, continental shopping mall, from coast to coast.

The colour green is only associated with the army, not fruits or vegetables, forests, or plant life of any kind.

Pizza is a vegetable.

Come to Arizona, here, you're gonna be the smartest motherfucker in the world since we're basically the least smartest state.

East coast is pussies meta confirms.

Ushan · March 10, 2015, 02:39:21 AM

I can tell you a little bit about Texas. Depends where you're going in Texas, if you're going to Texas. I live close to Houston on the east coast about five hours away from New Orleans up in Louisiana.

Spoiler

Around my area, there seems to be a sort of equal mix of the more popular political opinions, since I live in a fairly diverse neighborhood near a big city, people tend to be more left leaning. I suppose since you're going to be pursuing your studies, I bet you'll probably experience something like that. That said, I have encountered people that are still horrified by interracial mingling, so it's still a bit of a mixed bag.

The weather in Texas is bipolar. In the winter it can either really fucking hot, or close to 0 degrees Celsius. The first summer I spent in Texas, I had a hail storm, and while I haven't seen hail since, I tend to get some really bad rain storms around late spring-early summer.

When I first moved to Texas I had a somewhat noticeable English accent. The responses I got were mixed, some people really liked it, some people hated, and some people wept bitter tears when they heard me say "fuck" for the first time and realized I hadn't come straight out of Pride and Prejudice.

People tend to be overly touchy around here, I'm not sure if I just live near people with no concept of personal space or if it's indicative of a more widespread cultural trait.

If you go out to eat, you should tip your waiter, because they're likely scrapped for cash even with a decent tip.

People will tend to take insults to heart more than any of the other places I've lived, so you may consider being a little
wary with how you talk around people before they're able to realize that not every insult is intended as seriously as they might think.

Other than that, I can't think of anything else, you'll probably figure out whatever else there is. I'm sure you'll be clinking glasses with high-level businessmen and all that in no time.

Forgot about guns, If you see a white guy that was born in the US, odds are they have a firearm close by. That rule has more truth to it the further south you go. I shit you not, I know a guy who brought a gun to school on a regular basis. He stopped once the police got a tip that somebody was doing that and put the school on lockdown until they found two firearms plus some sort of homemade gun in his car and arrested him.

Also forgot aboutrace relations within the US. If I recall correctly from my time in England, besides the general tradition of animosity between the English and the French, Scottish, and Irish, the English don't really have much issues between whatever groups people happen to inhabit England's borders. Unfortunately that isn't as much the case in America, due to America's relatively recently major racial conflicts and the various underlying racial tensions that have been in existence since blatant racism became a social taboo. Some places are better than others, and I can't really think of a time in my time here where I've felt any need to consciously exercise more tact than I usually would in a situation between me and someone of a different race, but this may be something you may want to watch out for.

People generally don't seem to be very intelligent or knowledgeable about things.

How would you compare this to people in Europe? I get the feeling this is the case in Americans when you're comparing to Europeans, but I have obviously talked to not enough Europeans to really get a good idea of what Europeans are like.

Though most of the Europeans I talk to, I get along great with (in comparison to Americans), and we have a lot more in common I think.

What will you be studying? Arizona State University has a very good business school.

Statefarm · March 10, 2015, 07:03:53 AM

You aren't going to be on the East Coast? Well, at least you are going west. Don't go South. That's my advice.

Chakas · March 10, 2015, 08:49:24 AM

Teenagers here are incredibly stupid(just like anywhere else), but with a special brand of stupid. All manner of racial stereotypes exist here, so don't be surprised if you run into them, and if you do, be careful. Many of them can be dangerous. People are very defensive here when it comes to personal space and property. Careful how close you get to people. Depending on which part of the country you're in, people are either incredibly friendly or incredibly hostile. Also, a massive portion of the population owns firearms and many don't even know how to use them properly. Be weary of such people. Just like there are in any country, there are its good areas and bad, ghetto areas that you don't want to go to. And don't argue with us, we always win. Even if we lose, we ALWAYS WIN.....'MURRICA!

The south can be nice as long as you don't end up in Hillbilly hell or some racist nightmare of a state that is still stuck in the 1950's mentality or both.

Go to California.

What's so bad about AZ? We don't have DST, faggot.
