Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
The people of the state of Mississippi may be known for being hospitable, but don’t mistake Mississippians’ kindness for weakness. From unbearable temperatures to natural disasters, living in Mississippi produces some of the toughest people around.
1. Summers are no joke in Mississippi, and dealing with the heat isn’t for everyone.
4. In addition to mosquitoes, Mississippians must deal with another annoying insect – mayflies. This may not seem that bad until you’re facing a massive swarm of these things. Have you ever tried driving through a blanket of bugs?
5. Here in Mississippi, hurricanes are a very real possibility which means Mississippians sometimes have to live for weeks on end with no electricity or running water. Living without A.C. in temperatures nearing a hundred? Yeah, it’s brutal.
7. It’s no secret that many Mississippians take college football very seriously. And while dealing with losses can be difficult, we always bounce back.
8. Sure Mississippians are aware of how awesome the state is, but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Constantly dealing with stereotypes is enough to thicken anyone’s skin.
9. When it comes to protecting the country, Mississippians are not afraid to step up. Need proof? The town of D’Lo sent more men to serve in WWII than any other town of its size. And that’s just one example of the bravery exhibited in the state.
10. Lastly, Mississippians were just raised to be tough.
