This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Gettysburg chapter.
  1. You are either a Patriots fan or a Giants fan, and only one is right.  (*cough* Giants *cough*)

2. You have walked to school in a blizzard because you have already had too many snow days.

5. You aren’t used to strangers saying “hello”, in fact, when it happens it freaks you out.

Unless you already know each other, the above never happens.  And even if you do know each other it might not.

 

6. Fluff is amazing, and fluffernutters are the perfect sandwich.

7. Fall is the best season, no question.

9. The only type of winter boots worth owning are Bean Boots, and you will wear them all winter even if there isn’t any snow. (And the giant boot is definitely somewhere you have been before)
