Louisiana is definitely a unique state. It’s so unique, it’s very difficult to live anywhere else. There are just a lot of things that you have to learn to get used to. Here are the top 10 reasons that people who move here have a hard time leaving.

  1. Winter

  1. How friendly everyone is.

  1. Crawfish boils.

  1. Getting your sandwiches dressed.

  1. All the fishing spots.

Going fishing outside of Louisiana is boring. In other states they’re elated after catching one fish in a few hours.

  1. To go cups.

There’s nothing more sad then if you have to go and you have to leave a half-drunk beer.

  1. The easy-going, relaxed people.

  1. Bars staying open.

  1. Celebrating Mardi Gras

You will never be able to sit still on Mardi Gras day, whether you’re in Louisiana or not. Just knowing all the people who are partying while you are supposed to be working makes you crazy!

  1. Gas station coffee.
