15 Signs That You’re a Southerner at Boston University:

1. The move-in heat doesn’t faze you.

Your hair and makeup are always on point and you know not to wear grey t-shirts in the heat.

2. But the lack of A/C sure does.

Hint: make friends with someone in Stuvi or Kilachand.

3. Most people think you’re never wearing shorts because your t-shirt is so big.

Don’t people get that no pants are the best pants?

4. You start wearing your parka in November. 

Frost is the same thing as snow, right?

5. And your parka probably still isn’t warm enough.

6. You found out that spring in the north isn’t all flowers and birds.

It’s more of an icy, dirty mess once it finally stops snowing.

7. You understand that there’s sweet tea and then there’s cruel tea. 

If it doesn’t almost give you diabetes, it’s not sweet enough.

8. The lack of Chick-fil-a in Boston is devastating.

Cane’s just isn’t as good.

9. BU’s lack of a football team gave you serious FOMO during the fall.

Avoid Instagram on Saturday nights in the fall.

10. But now that you finally learned the rules of hockey, you can't stop bragging about BU’s team.

“Yeah but hockey lasts ALL year…"

11. No matter how normal your voice is, people always claim that you have an accent. 

For the last time, all y’all is grammatically correct.

12. School pride is more important to you than anything. Except state pride.

 

BU girls don’t date BC guys. Period.

13. You rule Greek life and theme parties.

You were wearing letters before you could walk.

14. Your monogram overload scares your roommate.

“I need to know which towels are mine…duh.”

15. Your southern charm gets you out of almost anything, and that’s beautiful.

 

You can take a girl out of the south, but you can’t take the south out of a girl.
