Right outside DC are some of the richest counties in the USA, they make up what has come to be know as NOVA. Some think it should be separate from the rest of VA, but regardless it is one of the best places you could call home.

1. You know nothing about politics

You would think being a metro ride away from the President, you would pick up on something, but most of us are just clueless.

2. You've interned for some congress member

Okay, so if you have, then you might have picked up on a few things

3. You tell people you're from DC

... Because its just easier to explain, especially if they aren't from VA.

4. Great Falls

Is probably your favorite place in the summer! Hiking, kayaking, or swimming it's a great place to cool off with friends.

5. You shop for fun

With all the malls and outlets, it's hard not too.

6. You have a love/hate relationship with the metro

The silver line in particular. Sure its great for a night in the city, just stay away when there's a sporting event.

7. You've been to all the museums

I think I went to the art museums every year in grade school.

8. Hokies or Wahoos

Pick one and love them for the rest of your life, it's not optional.

9. You've toured the white house at least once

And it wasn't as great as you imagined.

10. At least one of your parents works for the government

...and you probably will too.

11. You graduated high school at the Patriot Center

It was the only place big enough to hold your class of 600 and all their families.

12. You've met a Redskins player

Or have at least seen one at the mall. Hint: Chris Cooley loves Dick's at Dulles.

13. All your friends went to JMU, UVA, or VT

Or they at least applied to them.

14. Traffic is an everyday thing for you

Toll road, Rt 7, 66, 50, the list goes on and on. As does the traffic.

15. Travel soccer was probably your thing

At some point in your life you played soccer, and if you didn't everyone you knew did.

16. Or AAU

It's all about sports.

17. Construction is everywhere

But, you're use to it so you hardly even notice.

18. All you want is a SONIC

You see the commercials, but the closest one is an hour away. TV is such a tease.

19. But you love Silver Diner

Cause you have to have some place with good shakes.

20. Snow days

Possibility of snow? Don't worry, you won't have to leave the comfort of your home for a week.

21. You think NOVA is better than anywhere else.

And let's face it, it is.
