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.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
