Boston is a great city, it has its quaint yet hustle bustle moments. There’s history all around this city and walking through Beacon Hill is just something unlike anything else. Here are some things that typical Bostonians see, say, experience or do.

  • It’s not the train, it’s simply the “T”
  • Boston and practically all of New England runs on Dunkin. Of course people have Starbucks but majority rely on a good ole cup of Joe from dunks.
  • This goes with the next thing: It does not matter how old it gets, you will see people with ice coffees in the winter.
  • There’s nothing like a nice bowl of New England clam chowdah.
  • It’s just Boston, this Beantown term is rarely used by those who are actually from Boston.
  • Don’t bother wearing any other team jersey around the city. It’s either Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins. Boston sport fans are incredibly dedicated even if the team itself is not doing well, but that’s the beauty of fandom’s.
  • Newbury St is the best place to shop or at least window shop.
  • Duck tours have become normal vehicles on the roads.
  • After experiencing the amount show we got a couple years back (record breaking snowfall), this is just simply a light dusting of snow.
  • Winter is basically mid October to April.
  • Belichick and Brady are right behind God and Jesus.
  • You cross the street when there are no cars coming, the sign doesn’t matter.
  • No one can do the Boston accent right, no matter how HAHD they try.
  • Those things on all vehicle called blinkers, are non existent to you. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon can do no wrong.
  • Finally, we are all proud of our city. We are all Boston Strong.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
