Going to school in Syracuse, NY definitely made me realize the things I miss about Boston and what makes someone a Bostonian. Boston is a city that is unlike anywhere else. What makes us the best city is that we are filled with history and have people who are truly proud to be Bostonians. Here are a couple ways to identify if you are a Bostonian or not.

1. You are proud to say that Boston is and forever will be the best city.

Between all of the history, people and beautiful neighborhoods—what's not to love?

2. Park the car in the Harvard yard is not always a thing.

The first thing I heard when I tell someone I'm from Boston is "Omg say park the car from the Harvard yard". We've all faced it and we all know there's nothing more annoying.

3. Marathon Monday is its own holiday.

What's better than millions of people getting together for one day to watch people race and be proud of people's accomplishments?

4. Whether we like it or not, we do run on Dunkin.

If there are Dunkin Donuts at every corner, then that's when you know you're in Boston.

5. If you're like me, it can be -6 degrees and you would still get an iced coffee instead of a hot latte.

6. We know our sports teams are the best.

Whether it's the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, or Bruins—we have the best teams and you will have one favorite.

7. Fenway

Whether you go to Fenway to watch the game or just for an amazing Fenway Frank, the second you walk into the stadium, you feel like you're home.

8. 55 mph is not the speed limit

The amount of times you will see someone driving 55 mph is slim to none. And if they are you can count on someone honking at them multiple times because the speed limit is never 55.

9. Mike's Pastry is the only place to get a cannoli.

If you love cannoli's then you are loyal to the one and only Mike's Pasty. If you've never been- please go.

10. We are Boston Strong.

Living in a city like Boston is living in a city with people who care.
