1.) Old Bay belongs on everything

Whether it is put on crabs, fries or even some steamed veggies, only Marylanders know the struggle of running out of Baltimore's seasoning.

2.) Mother Nature has no idea what she is doing

One day you can be outside tanning, contemplating whether or not to do your homework, but there's no need to worry because within 24 hours the snow will roll in and school's will be canceled.

3.) Maryland has the largest amount of prestigious and celebrated college lacrosse teams

College Park and Loyola lax bro's sure know what they're doing!

4.) There are beaches, mountains and everything in between.

All within a short drive, you can visit the beach, mountains and city life without having to travel far or out of state.

5.) Next door neighbors M&T Bank and Camden Yards are year round past times

Most Marylanders are die-hard Ravens and Orioles fans, so don't even try to tell us your team is better (Even if they are).

6.) Crabs, crabs and more crabs.

7.) You don't sing the national anthem without screaming "OHHHH"

This is not meant in an offensive way at all, it has just become a tradition for Baltimore sports, especially Baseball.

8.) Ocean City a.k.a "Ocean Shitty" becomes home for the summer and senior week

No matter how much we complain about how dirty the sand and water may be, we will never stop going.

9.) And wild nights at H20...

We all thought we were so cool going to foam parties, highlighter parties whatever parties at H20 in Ocean City. We thought wrong.

10.) Being able to brag that All Time Low is from our state

"I DONT WANNA SAY GOODNIGHT IVE NEVER BEEN SO SURE, JUST DO IT FOR THE MEMORIES DO IT FOR BALTIMORE"

11.) Seacrets and Sunset Cove are frequently visited once warm weather hits

12.) Federal Hill...need I say more

13.) Drinking Natty Boh whether you like the taste or not

He's like Maryland's, real life version of Captain America.

18.) Baltimore nightlife

Drink.Drank.Drunk.

19.) Finally getting off 95 after rush hour

YES! There is no greater accomplishment.

20.) A good amount of people attended or are attending Towson University (or College Park)

Go, Tigers!

21.) Utz Chips are the Clutch Chips

22.) Miracle on 34th Street is more than a movie

23.) Relying on Bob Turk to tell us the weekly weather forecast

WJZ's little jingle always getting stuck in your head once the news comes on

24.) We all know what this squiggly blue line is...

25.) Baltimore's Artsy Side

Between Artscape and The Light City Festival, Baltimore has a great way of showing it's love for the arts.

BERGER, not burger

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.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
