For those of you that go to school in Washington, D.C., you're all too familiar with these occurrences. If you're about to embark on your freshman year in our nation's capitol, you'll know what I'm talking about in no time!

1. Everyone's from "just outside of Philly."

This could mean a small town in western Pennsylvania, or the Jersey Shore, you never know.

2. 85 percent of people rant and rave about Wawa.

The other 15 percent are from the Northeast and don't have a clue as to what that even is.

3. Class assignments often include field trips to the monuments or museums.

The best ones are those papers assigned after visiting the art gallery and you're instructed to write about "how it makes you feel."

4. You mention Bao Bao the panda and everyone relates to it on a personal level, as if we have even the tiniest bit of custody of her.

Can we talk about those two new twin babies, though?! I can't wait to see those little guys. I'm going to stare at them so long that my face turns into that emoji with hearts for eyes.

5. It's a Saturday morning and you're on a tight schedule, but you need to take the red line towards Glenmont.

NOPE. Sorry. Single-tracking it forever will be. Looks like you're going to be a lot late!

6. Since the city is a melting pot of people of different origins, there is a never-ending battle between which is better: Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks.

America runs on Dunkin', though, am I right?

* Unless, of course, Starbucks is the only coffee available on/near campus. Too lazy to make my own coffee, but my body is incessantly nagging me to overload it with caffeine, you feel me?

7. The Metro shuts down.

Somewhere, on top of the most minuscule hill, college students are making sleds out of trash bags. Classes are cancelled. The pure bliss that one single half-inch of snow can bring!

8. You can go for a nice, scenic run throughout the city and pass the reflecting pool and all the monuments.

That is, if you're into that physical activity type of stuff.

9. Concerts on the National Mall are practically required events.

You have class that afternoon? Missing one lecture won't kill you!

10. Everyone has a political opinion.

You're going to hear them and then hear them again, just in case you missed it the first time.
