Just in case you weren't completely sure that you were from NoVA, here's a nice list for you:

1. You’ve seen the Washington Monument and every other museum/monument in DC about 5,000 times.

2. On the same note, DC tourists are the worst. Especially when they’re your family from out of state and demand to have a personal tour of the city.

3. Seriously, why does Prince William County ALWAYS get snow days while Fairfax County NEVER does?

4. You get sarcastic responses when you tell W&M people that you’re from NoVA. “Oh wow. How surprising.”

5. People from outside of VA just don’t understand that NoVA is anything but country or the typical South.

6. You know the difference between NoVA and NOVA.

7. “Oh, you think traffic around Richmond is bad? Have you ever been to DC or its suburbs?” How fortunate you must be if you’ve never experienced NoVA traffic jams.

8. You know the struggle of wearing shorts one day but needing pants the next.

9. It always seems that even though there are technically a ton of things to do, you can never seem to find anything that suits your fancy. So you just stay home and watch Netflix instead.

10. You didn’t even realize that NoVA had slang terms until you left home and got weird looks for seemingly obvious expressions.

11. But no matter what, you’ll always hold a special place in your heart for the 703.
