Growing up in New Jersey, but going to school in New England is truly a cultural shock. Upon first experience, it seems that people speak a language completely foreign to you and that there could be some serious disagreements about sports allegiances. These are the 12 thoughts that run through your mind if you are from New Jersey, but go to school in New England.

1. What is wicked and why isn’t it being used to describe the Witch of the West?!

2. Is it okay for guys to love Tom Brady more than girls do?

3. Is it rude to ask my friend from Medford to say “park the car in Harvard yard?”

4. A hot Styrofoam cup holding the iced coffee cup…a bit wasteful up here aren’t we?

5. GEEZ DOES IT EVER NOT SNOW?

6. OR GET ABOVE 30 DEGREES?

7. It’s a water fountain….not a bubbler

8. New York is the big apple, meanwhile Boston isn’t compared to any form of fruit. Ha, suckers.

9. Probably shouldn’t wear my Yankees hat up here..

10. Or my Giants shirt…or Jets…

11. Seriously, is there a religion devoted to this Brady character?

12. Sweet Caroline is a pretty sweet song! I could get used to that being chanted a lot!

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
