Most of the time, North Carolina is an amazing state. Beautiful scenery, always something to do, and southern charm. Yet you can’t have it all, and living in the Tar Heel state does come with some struggles from time to time. Like these 10…

  1. When our one epic snowstorm shuts everything down. It’s fun at first but by day three we’re ready to get out of the house!

  1. The constant love-hate relationship with NC sports and our teams. One thing is true, though: we always support our team no matter what.

  1. Sometimes wanting to leave, or leaving, and knowing nothing will ever compare to home.

Most of the time North Carolina is pretty awesome! I don’t have too much to complain about. Would you add anything to this list?
