Whether you go to school in the area or have lived in Princeton your whole life, here are 10 signs that you call Princeton, New Jersey your home:


1. You are not alarmed when someone tells you they ate a phat lady for lunch. (Don’t worry it's just a hoagie from Hoagie Haven)


2. You know black squirrels exist.


3. You have a favorite Sunday brunch restaurant, whether it's Pj's Pancake House, Agricola, Mediterra, or Witherspoon Grill.


4. You are territorial over your favorite ice cream shop.


5. You love Thursdays because of the Princeton Farmers' Market.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.
