12 Things Only True Sacramentan's Would Know

As the common phrase goes, "it takes one to know one." This couldn't be more true when it comes to the inhabitants of Sacramento, CA. Besides being the state's capitol, not much is known about Sacramento to the outsiders. However, if you can relate to these things, you must be from Sac.

You've never pronounced the "T" in Sacramento. It's actually pronounced "Sac-ra-meno."

It really catches you off guard when when you catch someone throw in the hard "T."

And you've NEVER, ever called it "Sac-town."

You know the Kings aren't anywhere close to as good as they were in 2005, but you love them anyway.

You will forever be faithful to the Sacramento Kings and, no matter what, you will always despise the Lakers a little bit. Oh, and for the record, they still play in Arco Arena. We are all confused when they call it "Sleeptrain" or whatever else they are calling it nowadays.

You know normal ice cream just doesn't compare.

You love this stuff and couldn’t resist getting one at every Rivercats game.

There are about a million high schools in the Sacramento area but you probably know at least one person from each of them.

Sacramento is a pretty big place, but when it comes to all of the local high schools, it's weird how everyone still finds a way to know everyone.

You've gone on at least one (but probably more) school field trips to the zoo.

And each time impresses you less than the last time.

As a kid, your favorite part about going to Arden Fair Mall was getting to ride the carousel.

You've never missed the state fair.

You tell yourself that this will be the year that you don’t go, but you hear every commercial on the radio urging you to go for a month straight and you give in. Maybe next year.

Its no Union Square, but you still love going to the holiday ice skating rink on K Street.

You know where all of the good jumping spots on the Sacramento river are.

There are about three hidden tree swings on the Sacramento River and you best believe you’ve done them all.

You get mad when you hear people complain that "Nor-Cal isn't as hot as So-Cal."

This is not to say that So-Cal doesn’t get hot, but we deal with 100+ degree summers too. (And we do it without a beach).

You recognize this building

... and this one.

Most people who grow up in Sacramento can't wait to move as soon as they can. However, you never really realize how much you love a city until you're gone. Sacramento may not be the most fun, hustling and bustling city, but its natives will always appreciate its value.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
