5 Things You'll Only Understand If You're From New England

1. The word "wicked."

If you're from any part of New England, chances are "wicked" is an important part of your daily vocabulary, and you'll probably be met with confused looks if you say it anywhere outside of the greater Boston area. Regardless, you know that "wicked" is the best adjective in the dictionary and you'll never stop saying it, even if it does confuse flatlanders.

2. The fact that it's not really cold out until it dips into the negatives.

When the winter months hit and the temperature down south drops to a balmy 40 degrees, you'll be confused as to why people break out their Canada Goose parkas and begin lamenting the "cold" weather. Last time you checked, it wasn't cold until the temperature dipped below zero: back home, this weather would be warm enough for you to break out the shorts.

3. Dunkin' Donuts is and will always be better than Starbucks.

It doesn't get better than Dunkins iced coffee. This is not up for debate.

4. The Sox are and will always be better than the Yankees.

Once again, not up for debate.

5. There really is no place like home.

No matter how much you complain about the ungodly amount of snow you get in the winter, there truly is nowhere better than New England.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
