8 signs you grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut

Everyone in New England, and perhaps even outside of the area, has heard of the stereotypical Greenwich citizen: filthy rich and privileged. But there is so much more to this town than is considered. We all take it for granted, and don't know what we really have until we leave and go to college. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area with so much to offer. These are just a few things that we grew up with.

1. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Connecticut

2. All the great food we have around (Chicken Joe's, Corbos, Rinaldis, etc)

3. Shopping on the ave

4. Vineyard vines everything

5. Arch street parties

6. The best iced coffee in town is from Chicken Joe's

7. Varsity football games were always the place to be on Friday nights

8. Spending a lot of time in Old Greenwich Town

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
