10 Signs You Know You're From Massachusetts
Robbie Shade

If I've learned anything from living in Massachusetts my whole life, its that no one loves their city more than we do. So here are some tell tale signs you know you're from Mass.


1. Dunkin' Donuts is your saving grace when anything is going wrong

Its Dunks, not Dunkin Donuts, and its everywhere...iced coffee all day everyday.

2. The weather changes more than your girlfriend changes her outfit

On Monday it can be 60 degrees, then on Tuesday its 26 degrees and snowing. In the morning on Wednesday its 45 degrees and pouring rain, then by noon its 75 and sunny. Welcome to Massachusetts

3. Only people from Massachusetts can cross 4 lanes on the highway in under 5 seconds flawlessly, and without using a "blinkha"

Because why would anyone use a blinker...they're for wimps

4. You take pride in being called a "masshole"

This is probably the furthest thing from an insult you can get, we love Mass, who cares what anyone else thinks.

5. Your sundays are dedicated to watching the Patriots.

Rodger that!

6. You know when you see this thing, youre home

7. You know how to pronounce Worcester, Gloucester, Haverhill, Scituate etc...

There's really nothing else to say about this. You can tell if someones not from Mass if they pronounce those wrong.

8. Your daily commute consists of driving over pothole over pothole.

Or trying to avoid them and then swerving all over the road, because why would the roads be smooth?!

9. People say you talk funny, or say they cant understand you.

But when you're talking to anyone from Mass, you can understand them perfectly because we aren't talking funny!

10. No one parks their car in Harvard yard

That's just not a thing.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
