One thing I noticed when I came for a tour last year at Randolph College was the accents. I couldn't wait to go to a college in the South and get a Southern Accent. I always wanted to be a Southern Bell and that typical country girl. I rode horses growing up and always wanted to be a cowgirl so I would talk in a Southern accent, but Virginia is the real deal. They have real accents. My parents always told me that they would come home for breaks saying words like "yall" and having an accent. When I went home for Fall Break I said yall one time and my friends freaked out. They thought it was so cool but funny. I have noticed I have been saying yall and talking different. I think it depends on the people you hang out with if you want to get a bit of a southern accent. I hang out with quite a few people who are from Virginia or just the South in general so I caught on to the Southern talk pretty fast. My roomate hates when I say yall so I tend to say it a lot around her. I wonder what kind of accent I'll have by the time I graduate Randolph College. I hope I'm a Southern Bell.
