10 Signs You Grew Up in Buffalo, NY

You can take the kid out of Buffalo, but you can never take Buffalo out of the kid.

1. Tim Hortons is your drug of choice

You'll always be willing to be late to school or work because Dunkin Donuts is just not an option.

2. You'll never eat certain foods when you're away

Eating a hot dog that isn't Sahlen's or wings that aren't from Duff's or Anchor Bar? That's pretty much sacrilegious.

3. You never give up hope:

No mater how many times the Sabres or Bills let us down, you will go to your grave a die hard fan.

4. You hate Canada for no reason:

Sure they seem nice, but you know they're actually the worst.

5. But when you turn 19 you head straight to the border:

We still hate Canada, but we can take a night off to enjoy the lower drinking age.

6. Being used to people's reactions when you tell them where you're from

"You're from New York? I love the city!" "No I'm from Buffalo" "Ohhhh... don't you guys get like, a ton of snow?"

7. Laughing as the rest of the country freaks out over a few inches of snow

Snowvember? The October Storm? Anything less than 3 feet is nothing to complain about.

8. Having to explain what Loganberry is

So it's sold in the pop section (and yes it's pop, not soda here) but it's kinda like a juice and no it's not an actual berry.

9. You love the incredible art scene

Whether you're at an art show, down in the theater district, going to one of the many concerts that take place, or just walking down the street, you're never too far from something amazing.

10. You have an extreme amount of pride for your home

No matter how much you complain about the snow or how much you hate it, you know that Buffalo is one of the greatest places to be. You wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
