The reality of being from Massachusetts

Thoughts Massholes Have While Not Driving In Massachusetts
Michigan Auto

It wasn’t until I moved to Maine for college that I learned not everyone drives like Massachusetts residents. Living in Massachusetts my whole life, and traveling to New York on many occasions to see family, I’ve grown accustomed to certain ways of driving and reacting to others. It wasn’t until I come north that I realized not everyone drives like us in Massachusetts. Here are some things that every Masshole has while driving anywhere except Massachusetts.

  • Why are you going so slow?
  • The speed limit is 35 so you should be going at least 40 if not faster.
  • Why did you stop at the stop sign? It’s called a rolling stop.
  • Oh s**t, was that a cop?
  • Nope, just a car parked on the side of the road.
  • Nope, it was definitely a cop. Do I have my seatbelt on?
  • I’m thirsty, where’s the closest Dunkin'?
  • What do you mean there isn’t a Dunkin' on every street corner?
  • Now how am I going to get my coffee?
  • What the heck is Tim Hortons?
  • I wonder if other cars can hear my music.
  • Probably.
  • Too bad, I’m not turning it down.
  • Use your damn blinker!
  • Where’d you learn to drive, Connecticut?
  • How does no one know how to merge?
  • I was here first, I go first.
  • No you cannot merge into my lane.
  • Left lane is for passing only.
  • If you’re going to go 10 miles under the speed limit then get off the highway.
  • Get off my ass!
  • WHY ARE YOU BREAKING?
  • There’s no one in front of you.
  • It’s a green light.
  • Oh, he’s from Rhode Island.
  • Finally passed you sucker.
  • It’s green, GO!
  • *Speed limit says 65* *Goes 80+*
  • I’m gonna grace everyone with my singing.
  • Good thing it’s summer and my windows are down otherwise I’d have no windows left (due to my horrible singing.
  • They have the same car as me.
  • Let’s race.
  • Beat ya!
  • Oops, just pissed off an old man.
  • I missed my exit and don’t know where I am.
  • Time to GPS this.
  • Why am I being sent in circles? I missed one exit.
  • I’m not late. Everyone else is just early.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
