If you're an intelligent individual, you know that Vermont is one of the 50 states but apparently college is not filled with a ton of intelligent individuals.
Soooo as a VT kid going to college out of state here are 10 things you will understand you grew up in Vermont but go to college out of state.
1. "What state is Vermont in?" "Oh! You're from Canada?"
Did you not pass your 50 states test in 6th grade?
2. "Do you know Bernie Sanders?"
Yes Bernie Sanders is amazing but no I do not know him personally.....
3. Real maple syrup is not a thing apparently any where else but Vermont.
We don't mess with fake maple syrup, so we bring our own.
4. "Is it true there is more cows than people?"
sadly yes but stop asking me that.
5. "Oh, do you like live on a farm?"
No, but some people do.
6. When it's October which is usually cold and fall-y in Vermont but its still 70 degrees at school....
I just want to wear sweaters and boots!
7. The feeling of coming home for the holidays
Coming home on thanksgiving or christmas to a land filled with snow is the best feeling and makes you so excited for the holidays!
8. "Oh the hippie state!"
This is only 50% accurate, like it's really not true...
9. Lack of chain stores
The only fast food restaurant in my town is mcdonalds, we don't have dominos or applebees. This isn't true for all VT towns but it's nice to have more local restaurants.
ALSO, VT does not have a Target in any town in the entire state, but that is about to change! Burlington is getting one!
10. Maple Latte's
Starbucks just came out with a maple pecan latte but nothing compares to a real maple latte from a Vermont coffee shop.
