11 Things You Realize When You Move Away From Buffalo

1. You forget that other people in the world have never experienced Sahlen's hot dogs.

Ballpark Franks? Hebrew Nationals? Oscar Mayer? NO thank you, I don't want one of your knock-off hot dogs.



2. You truly have no sports credibility.

But you'll be sure to use any win or title to your advantage against your friends teams... about a million times.

"Yeah yeah we know you won the Super Bowl, Patriots, but we beat you last year. And we produced Gronk for you, so you're welcome."



3. No one knows what a "brush burn" is.

To everyone else it's a "turf burn" or a "rug burn" or a "____ burn," but we Buffalonians are smart and just clump it into one category—a brush burn.

(Going to pass on this picture...)


4. That "Upstate New York" is the only term Non-New Yorkers know... Other than "New York City."

NO!!! Buffalo is Western New York. We do not consider ourselves Upstate.


5. People consider Buffalo Wild Wings, buffalo wings.

A) I'm so sorry for you. Come to a city that knows how to whip wings up.

B) Notice how I just called them "wings."



6. You cringe at the fact that people not only eat Taco Bell, but they actually like it.

Mighty Taco is the only place to go. Buffalonians are the most loyal fast-food taco enthusiasts.



7. You're able to explain the progression of Major League baseball players, thanks to the Buffalo Bisons.

Yes, we know players from the MLB came from Triple-A... we've been watching them play for years.



8. Some people never have to deal with data roaming charges on a daily basis.

We've all been there: You're driving on the 190 to work downtown, and you get that God-forsaken text, "Welcome abroad! To call back to the U.S. dial..."


9. You take Niagara Falls for granted.

Haven't you seen all the tourist buses?! People actually travel around the world for something that is right in our back yard. It's a pretty amazing landmark, and we don't even realize it.



10. People think the Goo Goo Dolls song "Broadway" is about NYC's Broadway.

Wrong. The song is about the neighborhood that lead singer, Joh Rzeznik grew up in... In Buffalo, New York.



11. You'll miss it more than anything.

Buffalo, New York—The Queen City. A city where every football Sunday is celebrated like it's the Super Bowl, six feet of snow is no big deal, and things are always looking up. There's no place like home (Buffalo.)

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
