Boston is a city with rich history, incredible sports (#5Rings), strong culture, different ranges of cuisine, and amazing accents that no southerner can compare to. If your from the west coast or another country there is no doubt you need a Bostonian in your life.

We are passionate people. From our dominating the NFL #TB12, MLB, NHL, NBA and so much more the fans really know how to show appreciation to the teams keeping Boston on the map. For instance this super bowl with all odds against New England they still came back in the 2nd quarter and brought the trophy home. Nevermind Tom Brady's famous 5 rings and Julian Edelman's legendary catch. With energy pumped up, fans still risked fingers and toes in the extreme wind and snow to catch a glimpse of the players, trophy and of course duck boats.

1. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us.

Ever heard of a little thing called the Boston Marathon bombing? Yeah? #BostonStrong Enough said.


2. We are wicked smaht.

Try Harvard, MIT, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth smart just to name a few. We are also home to Simmons, Wentworth, MassArt, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, Berklee, Emerson, Suffolk, Emmanual, Fisher, Wheelock, Tufts, Lasell, and many many more.


3. Italian and Irish decent.

You will never go home hungry due to the 4-course meals plus second helpings and we will insist that you take home leftovers, so just take the damn leftovers we have enough in our fridge.


4. We are great drivers.

You try and drive on the highway during rush hour in 7-10 feet of snow with only front wheel drive. Even if the speed limit says 55 mph we really mean you better be going 65 mph in the right lane aka slow lane or just get off the highway we don't have time to deal with you. Plus have you ever seen a map of Boston? Say less.


5. We accept everyone... almost.

Massachusetts is the first ever state in the Union to legalize gay marriages for nearly a decade now. Unless you are a Yankees fan you can stay. Beat that New York.


6. We are healthy.

We are the city that can beat cancer and cure that nasty rash you have all in one day. From Boston Children's Hospital to Lahey clinic our "bad hospitals" are another cities good ones. So if you get the flu this season you friend from Boston knows exactly where to take you.


7. Don't know how to pronounce a town name?

It's wicked easy for a Bostonian. For example Leominster it's pronounced lemon-ster. Not Leo-Minster. Another example is Billerica like Bill-rick-a. You got this. This goes back to navigation so don't you worry you will get from point A to point B in about 30 minutes.

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.
