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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
