11 Signs You're From King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania is a unique semi-urban area about half an hour outside of Philadelphia. It bears one of the largest malls in the country, a national park, and tons of dining options. KOP is home to numerous hotels and tourist attractions but also has residential communities and schools. Many pass through KOP every day, but here are a few situations you'll resonate with if you're from there.

1. When you tell people where you’re from, their eyes get wide and they scream “OHHHH I’VE BEEN THERE. I LOVE THAT MALL!”

People recognize the mall from all over the country.

2. You’re always debating whether to go to the Wawa on Prince Frederick or the Wawa on 202.

It usually depends on which one is on the way to your destination. I’m more of a Prince Frederick kind of girl.

3. You return to Upper Merion schools even though you’re well out of middle and high school.

Whether you’re visiting your favorite teachers or checking out the Homecoming game, it’s always a fun time to return to good ‘ol UM.

4. The opening of the new Target was a blessing.

I’m actually a mom in her 40’s trapped in a 19-year-old’s body. I adore Target, and I don’t care who knows it.

5. When you need a scenic background, Valley Forge Park is your go-to place.

Whether for prom pictures or a school project, the arch provided a lovely background for your captured memories.

6. You’ve had all sorts of dining experiences.

King of Prussia has a wide variety of restaurant choices. You’ve had everything from Seasons 52 to McDonald’s at midnight.

7. Your parent is on a board for the township.

Yep. My dad is included.

8. You dread 422 because there’s always roadwork being done.

When I say always, I mean always. My knuckles are white and I sweat like nobody’s business as I drive through the work zones.

9. You treasure road trips to Lancaster and Philadelphia.

Because it’s nice to get away for a while.

10. You are a master at maneuvering through parking lots.

I actually prepare for my life to end when I’m in a Wawa, Henderson Square, or mall parking lot. You must have eyes in the back and on the sides of your head.

11. When people ask where you're from, you often say "Right outside of Philly."

Although that can mean a number of places.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
