29 Signs You're From Cheshire, Connecticut

Love it or hate it, we all survived growing up in the "Shire."

29 Signs You're From Cheshire, Connecticut

Some of us enjoyed growing up in this small town, everybody-knows-everybody's-business environment. Some of us couldn't wait to get the heck outta town after graduation. Either way, there is a common bond between Cheshire's residents. Here is a list of signs that you hail from one of the most boring towns in good ol' Connecticut:


1. Your first stop on your way home from any break is to get Choffee.



2. You have yelled at every person who pronounced it Che-SHIRE.

3. You’ve sat in the student section at a football game.


4. The phrase “the bubble popped” has a whole different meaning for you.





5. You sometimes forget that Cheshire Academy exists.



6. You think that we have way too many CVS/Walgreens/Rite-aids’ for one town.



7. You’ve enjoyed a cone from Sweet Claude’s here:



8. You have a favorite Dunkin Donuts in town.



9.You’ve thought it was a good idea to go to/order from Dragon Buffet.



10. And you hate yourself afterwards.



11. You’re either team Green Light or team All-Star.

12. You’ve gotten senior pictures taken by Joey Jones.



13. At the Percival Estates.



14. You have a favorite in town Italian restaurant.



15. But you know that the best pizza is a short 20 minute drive away in New Haven.



16. You know that the Girls Swimming and Diving team holds the National Record for “Most Consecutive Dual Meet Wins.”

17. And/or you probably think that the boys football team is more relevant than the swim team...



18. You have tried to explain what the “Chetto” is to all of your college friends.



19. Whenever you’re home, you complain about how boring Cheshire is.



20. Most of the people you know go/went to UCONN.



21. You've participated in one too many Bagelicious vs. Shef's debates with friends and/or family.



22. You always knew all about the latest high school party that got busted… even if you weren't even there…




23. You are no more than 5 minutes away from at least 3 apple orchards at any given time.



24. You know it’s not “buffalo chicken” it’s “buff chick.”



25. You spent your few hours of preteen parental freedom roaming around at every Fall Festival and Carnival.



26. You’ve attempted to avoid Stop and Shop fundraisers by exiting at the other side of the store… only to realize they have a table on that side too…



27. You know who this is:


28. You aren’t friends with half of the people you hung out with in high school.



29. But the few that have stuck around will be your friends for life.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
