Massholes Accept Their Nickname

It's never a insult.

Massholes Accept Their Nickname

Urban Dictionary states that a "Masshole: is one of two things. 1. For residents of Massachusetts, it is an earned title for driving faster, being reckless, cutting other drivers off often, and having no patience for other drivers on the road. 2. For non-residents of Massachusetts, it is a term of dislike for the people of Massachusetts that drive like an asshole.

Some people think Masshole is a bad thing to be called. I look at them and think, are you kidding me? You should be proud to be called that: we all live, breathe, and die for our teams. We have a reputation to uphold; the dunkies iced coffees in the wintah, the pride we have in our teams, bringing out the duck boats.

Urban Dictionary also defines Massholes by stating that “The most genuine Massholes are so ignorant and belligerent that they think Masshole is a compliment." A Masshole isn't a shitty driver. He/She may piss you off, but he/she ultimately gets there faster and without crashing. It's an acquired skill. A Masshole's car could be a brand new BMW or a beat-up 88 Chevy Caprice. I mean, My 78-year-old grandmother and I have matching 2002 Buicks. He/She also is probably smartah than anyone from any other state. Massachusetts is the smartest state in the country, but no shocker there.

Another thing Urban Dictionary says about Massholes is that “They talk fast, walk fast, drive fast, think fast, and no one gets their sense of humor, because it is dripping with sarcasm. We are proud of it, because we know that the rest of the country is too plebeian to understand the complexity of awesome that is us.” It’s damn true, and I’m not ashamed of it. No matter where this Masshole is from, Boston is their home. Boston is the heart of every Masshole. Boston is life. Why wouldn’t you want to be called a Masshole?

My aunt even got me a Massachusetts necklace and said “happy birthday, every Masshole needs one.” I must admit, I’m that person who gets an ice coffee even in a blizzard. Hell, this winter when we were snowed in for a week, classes were cancelled, and there was a driving ban, my roommate and I shoveled out our car just to make a dunkies run. To be honest, The “America runs on Dunkin’” campaign should have been revised to “Massachusetts runs on Dunkin’” if they were going to be accurate about it. I LOVE it when people hate on Brady. I almost want to throw my dunks at them, but you can’t waste that. You paid $2.66 for your medium iced regulah.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
