11 Signs You Know Are From Virginia
EEN USA

Living in Virginia is objectively the greatest and most euphoric feeling in the world. It's too bad "Loving Virginia" isn't a major, because you would be on that in a heartbeat. You've already cut out the heads in family photos and replaced them with tiny Virginia's, and your first child, boy or girl, will be named Virginia. You weep when forced to look at any map that includes more than just Virginia, and you regularly make change.org petitions begging Virginia to secede from the Union. Just when you thought Virginia couldn't get any better, you stumbled across this article, and now your finger is going raw from preemptively spamming the "share" button about 11 signs you know are from Virginia.

1. You live in Fairfax County and have seen this sign

As someone who lives in Virginia and recognizes this sign, I totally see this sign when I'm visiting Fairfax County. Plus, it's courtesy of fairfaxcounty.gov, so you know it's a local favorite!


2. You pass by this on your way home 

No drive home in Virginia is complete without witnessing this cultural touchstone. You bleed "288 North to 64," but just don't call it "NoVA!"

3. Everyone you know has seen this sign

If you went to public school in Virginia, you probably heard some great lunchroom stories about this one right here. The yellow one in the back is usually mentioned, but never the subject. Shout out to everyone in Chase City!

4. Your childhood included seeing this sign all the time

It's right by the Dulles airport, which is in Virginia!

5. You know you're a true Virginian if you recognize this

Let me guess, you're from somewhere that's not Virginia? Well then, I can't even be bothered to tell you the message behind this sign. Out of state folks just don't get it!

6. You can tell that, without a doubt, this is from Virginia

Classic alert!

7. You don't have a potty mouth because you grew up with this

Probably the easiest one to recognize on the list, because if you're a True Virginian like me, you haven't said a swear word ever. This is what's known as "textbook Virginia!"

8. All good, law-abiding Virginians have this one committed to memory


I know it's a law Ican live with!

9. You might not believe me on this next one

As much as I love Virginia, sometimes it can get a little kooky, like this oddball. 14 "kilometers?" Only in Virginia, am I right?

10. We've all had to deal with this one

I know, "don't remind me!"

11. This last one might be a little too obvious

Real Virginians won't have any problems with this one!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
