10 Signs You're From Massachusetts
NerdWallet.com

I'm a Masshole and I'm proud of it! Whether you're from western mass, Boston or the cape, we all share a special bond and love our state. Here are some signs that you're from the coolest state in the country.

1. You literally live off Dunkin’.

Without it you cannot function properly.

2. Most of the summer is spent down the Cape.

You definately know you’re from Massachusetts when you say “the Cape” instead of Cape Cod.

3. Sunday afternoons in the fall are meant for watching the Patriot’s games.

I mean come on, we have the best looking team in the NFL.

4. You know that not everyone fails to pronounce their R’s.

Yes, it is very annoying when tourists ask you to pronounce words: “pahk the cah in the Havahd yahd."

5. Clam chowder is meant to be white, not red.

Who puts tomatoes in their chowder?

6. When you visit other states & realize how fresh our seafood is.

7. 30 degree weather in winter is a miracle.

Snow on halloween can’t stop us!

8. The circles in the road are called rotaries, not roundabouts.

9. Sprinkles vs Jimmies.

Nothing is more annoying than asking for jimmies, then being asked “chocolate or rainbow?”

10. Pedestrians always have the right of way. What’s a crosswalk for?

Surely, these are only a few of the many things that identify people from Massachusetts. Share if you love this state!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
