This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Providence chapter.
1. You know what a package store is
Going on ‘packy runs’ with your best friend’s older siblings was your favorite high school past-time.
2. It’s not a sub, it’s a grinder
A meatball sub? No.
3. Knowing New Haven has the BEST pizza
No denying it. Out-of-staters have no clue what they’re missing.
4. You’re used to endless fights regarding the Yankees vs. the Red Sox
Connecticut is really a split state, and tensions can get high.
5. You’ve drank a little too much at the XFINITY Center
Bonus points if it was a Dave Matthew’s Band Concert
6. As a kid, you spent at least one summer day at Lake Quassy or Lake Compounce
And you still can’t believe you made it out alive riding the Mad Mouse rollercoaster/didn’t die from disease from swimming in the lake.
7. People assume you’re snobby or rich when they realize where you’re from
Guess what? Most of us aren’t.
8. I-95 sucks
This one speaks for itself.
9. There’s a Dunkin Donuts within five minutes from wherever you are
CT, we run on Dunkin.
10. Everyone who’s not from here asks you if you’re town is like Stars Hollow
No, my life isn’t comparable to Gilmore Girls.
