Things You Know To Be True If You Are From Upstate NY
Natalie Braman

I love calling Upstate home! It has shaped me in so many ways! But it is funny to joke about it... here's how

First of all, you know this map is inaccurate

The yellow is supposed to represent "Upstate" ... but let's be real, Upstate starts much further UP the state than shown here

Chances are you have driven in conditions like this maybe once ... or a million times in your life

Here's to always keeping a snow brush in your car

You or someone you know definitely went to a SUNY

Let's be real ... they are the best state schools in the country

This is your idea of an amusement park

But you're also aware that the Rochester one is the superior one

You bleed Orange

(disregard the Go Heels ... my dad's a UNC fan)

You've been to one of the Finger Lakes at least once in your life

You know that not everywhere Upstate actually looks like this stock photo of some farm

Despite what those city folk like to say

You probably consider driving around the back roads fun

AM Mantei

TBH nothing else to really do up here

You pronounce "creek" like "crik" ...

and "aunt" like "ant" and "roof" like "ruff"

You go crazy for St. Patrick's Day Parades

A good friend of mine, John, enjoying Binghamton's 2019 Parade Day!

You have visited the Adirondacks and love going there
