What Kind Of North Carolinian Are You?

You're the adventure sporty type. When you were a kid, you longed for recess, and now you get to live recess every day in the mountains of North Carolina! You're never bored: today it's rock climbing and hiking, tomorrow it's whitewater rafting or kayaking, and in the wintertime, there's always skiing! A new outdoor adventure is just outside your door. Your friends are crazy for your adventuresome spirit, and you rarely disappoint them!

You're the big brainy type, usually found in a coffee shop with a good book or meeting with your book club for a snappy debate. With your intellect, you belong in the North Carolina triad. With three big universities nearby (Duke, UNC, and NC State), you're bound to find enough stimulating conversation and exciting new work to keep you occupied. Your friends love the big words you use, and your parents couldn't be prouder of your academic achievements: you'll fit right into the triad, you brainy North Carolinian!

You're not the typical beach baby (surfer dude you ain't), so the North Carolina Coast is perfect for your unique personality. You're into a little bit of everything: you love sailing in the Topsail area, watching the wild horses run on the Outer Banks, wreck diving on the Crystal Coast, soaking up the Revolutionary and Civil War history of the Inner Coastal Plain, and soaking up the sun and sand in the Wilmington Area. Not one to be satisfied by a boring day of sunbathing, the North Carolina beach baby in you loves how much there is to do and see on your beach days!

North Carolina is a great fit for your inner recluse, where you can live in the mountains and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. The ultimate introvert, you're into meditation, yoga, the natural world, and the cool mountain air. Every season in your mountains holds a new wonder for you' whether it's the hustle and bustle of spring, the peaceful kayaking in the summer, the gorgeous colors of fall, or the snowy wonderland in winter, you're perfectly at home in your beloved mountains.

You're the ultimate sports fan. It doesn't matter to you if people call you Cameron Crazy, a Tar Heel, a Demon Deacon, an Aggie (whatever the heck that is!), a Catamount (is that even a real animal?), a Fighting Camel, or Tuffy the Wolf: if it involves a North Carolina sports team, you're in! Your friends know that if a NC team is playing, you're busy, and your loyalty to the NC teams surpasses trivial things like winning records or cool uniforms. You belong in North Carolina, preferably painted blue and screaming your head off in a packed stadium.

You're not very NC. Maybe it's that you can't be pigeonholed (or more likely that you just march to a different beat), but the academics of the triad don't impress you, you've seen better mountains and beaches, other sports teams have better records, and adventure sports aren't really your cup of tea, either. All the things that make NC the way it is just don't jive with you. Your friends love what a free spirit you are, and you're one of the most unique people they know. You're not a perfect fit for NC because you're much too adventuresome to be tied down to any one place. Keep traveling! You'll find your home.
