10 Things You Say When You're The Buffalonian In Your Friend Group

Buffalo is a culture in itself, and Buffalonians feel the constant struggle. When you're the only Buffalonian in your friend group, it isn't easy. These are 10 things only a true Buffalonian will understand/

1. The classic "It's pop, not soda" argument.

You will have this argument approximately a 100 times. To Buffalonians, it's pop.

2. "Sorry, I can't go. The bills play at 1."

When Sunday rolls around, the Buffalo Bills is all that you can think about.

3. "It's chicken wings, not buffalo wings."

You wanna pull your hair out and curl into a fetal position when you hear "Buffalo" and "wings" in the same sentence.

4. "St. Patrick's Day is the best day ever in Buffalo."

You just experience it to really believe it. The city of Buffalo knows how to party on St. Patrick's day.

5. "Sabres will be good next year, we are still rebuilding."

The Sabres haven't exactly been a playoff team for a few years, but you keep telling everyone they'll be back in the race soon.

6. "I hate Tom Brady."

You immediately become friends with people who say they hate Tom Brady too. You got a friend for life now.

7. "Driving 75 MPH through a snowstorm is just a natural part of life."

Buffalo is known for having all 4 seasons in one day, so we have to be prepared for anything. We might be crazy drivers, but we can get you there on time even through a blizzard.

9. "Wait. You've never been to Niagara Falls?"

Sometimes we take for granted that we have Niagara Falls practically in our backyard. Can we say road trip!

10. The "Tim Hortons vs. Dunkin Donuts" Debate.

This debate will end in a fist fight. Buffalonians are known to be Team Timmy's and no one can change our caffeine choice anytime soon.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
