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!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
