12 Questions You Should Never Ask An English Person

Although English people are known for being really polite and well mannered, if you say any of these things to them, they might just rip your head off, so don't get too close!

1. Can you say that again?

I know I have a cool accent, but I do not want to sit here and read the dictionary to you.

2. Have you ever met the queen?

Oh ya! Me and Lizzy go way back!

3. Why do you drive on the wrong side of the road?

I am pretty sure that you all drive on the wrong side of the road!

4. Remember that time the Americans beat you?

Do you remember that time the French helped you? We let you win anyways!

5. So, why do you call soccer, football?

I mean it just makes sense, you use your feet!

6. Where are you from? Near London?

Not everyone from England is from London. There is the rest of the country that people inhabit as well.


7. Can you say something in British?

You are ignorant. How is that? We speak English!

8. Do you have dentists in England?

This joke is so old its not even funny and I am pretty sure, if I am not mistaken, the first President of the United States had wooden teeth!

9. Do you actually call the bathroom the loo?

Some do, but we also say toilet in a pretty cool accent, too.


10. Does it actually always rain in England?

90% of the time, yes, but it is those 30 days of sunshine that we live for. I have heard it is always sunny in Suffolk though!

11. How many cups of tea do you drink in a day?

It really depends, and, yes, a majority of us do drink tea. You ever so often find a rare breed who do not like tea and even then we ask them why and call them weird. We grew up on the stuff, literally. Most of the time, we had it in our bottles when we were growing up.

12. So, what are crumpets?

They are like English muffins, but on steroids.


From the country that once had the greatest empire in the world, please stop asking us these silly questions or we may have to get those guards with silly hats after you!

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
