Yes, I’m from the USA

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Dickinson chapter.

I’m currently studying abroad in Norwich, England, and as such, have received many questions about the USA. So I thought I’d take the time to answer some of those questions now.

  1. I have no idea why we use Fahrenheit and not Celsius. Frankly, Celsius sounds easier.
  2. Donald Trump’s actions are just as much of a mystery to me as they are to you.
  3. You mean an eggplant?
  4. Pedestrians have the right of way to cross all the time.
  5. Color. C-O-L-O-R.
  6. I’m not sure what the conversion between meters and feet is, but I do know that campus is that way.
  7. No, I mean football, not soccer.
  8. You guys may drive on the right side of the car, but we drive on the right side of the road.
