11 Undoubtable Signs You're From Southeast Connecticut

Down Country Lanes

Moving down to the south seven months ago was a big change for me personally. Aside from the warm weather, there are some things that are different here than back home.

You know you're from Connecticut when...

1. This is called a grinder.

2. Going here is a fall "must have."

3. You have a piece of clothing with UConn on it, even if you have no interest in it.

4. You are either a Red Sox Fan or a Yankees fan.

5. Every summer you walk through the sunflower fields eating ice cream at Buttonwoods.

6. You go to the Mystic Aquarium for school field trips.

7. This is called a cart.

8. Dunkin Donuts coffee is an unhealthy addiction.

9. You never go to a beach in Connecticut, you always went to Rhode Island.

10. This is a package store

11. Driving down the road into your town always makes you feel at peace.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer.
