As a southerner, what kind of experience is it to go to college in the north?

Quanzhou, Fujian is my hometown. It can be said that I have never left Fujian for more than 20 years. From the moment I can remember, until I graduated from college, and then I worked and lived for the next three years, I have always stayed in this blessed place. Later, I wanted to further my studies and further improve my academic qualifications, and because my lover was in the north, I chose to study in the north. I remember that the teachers were also puzzled when I took the second interview. After all, a native southerner may have various adaptation problems in the north. At that time, I was young and not afraid of difficulties in adapting, but when I arrived in the North School, I found it was a brand-new experience. Many times, the difference between North and South makes you feel ridiculous.

When I arrived at the North School, the first thing that made me uncomfortable was not the diet. May be a natural love of food constitution, so the requirements for eating are not high, just eat enough. Although I am surprised that the north eats raw white radish and carrots, it is not enough to feel uncomfortable. The first thing that bothers me is the bath. In the south, whether it is a wealthy family or a small farmhouse, bathhouses are all their own. Conditions can be simple, but they must be independent. However, the collective bathhouses in the north make me flinch. I can't stand the thought of everyone taking a bath and rubbing their backs together. Therefore, I would rather take a cold bath in the dormitory in winter than take a bath in the bathhouse with everyone.

In the north, another experience is that what you usually wear in the south is like an alternative in the north. The place where I study is Shijiazhuang. The same student can wear colorful clothes, and the styles of clothes are more diverse. So students sometimes tease me that I dare to wear anything, because it is only the simplest style and some basic colors, away from gorgeous colors. However, you should know that my dress is the most common one in southern cities, even the rustic one. Students in the north, summer is fine. Winter is basically black and gray, and even a red color is hard to find.

There have been many jokes in the north: I have only seen pumpkins in the south, but I didn't know there were pumpkins in the north; Celery, which is common in the south, has become celery in the north, because celery in the north is big celery. Unfortunately, I used to regard coriander as celery, so that the vegetable seller didn't know what I wanted. There are only long eggplants in the south and only round eggplants in the north; There are only shallots in the south and shallots and scallions in the north; I am used to drinking southern rice porridge. Did you feel full of sand when you first entered millet porridge?
