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

1. You love New England Clam Chowda only, none of the other imposter chowders.

2. You have road rage like no one else, given you are accustomed to all of the psycho drivers in Mass.

3. You are one of the psycho drivers.

4. People fighting and screaming in public don’t phase you. After all, it’s how we communicate.

5. You run on Dunkins iced coffee at all times, even in the middle of winter.

6. Your Boston accent comes out only at the strangest times, like in Alliot when you call the chicken parmesan “chicken PAHM” and everyone at your table looks utterly confused about it.

7. You talk endlessly about the glorious food of the North End and forget that none of your friends have been there so you have to describe to them what exactly the North End is.

8. The same goes for Faneuil Hall.

9. You realize no one understands the beauty and importance of a Mike’s cannoli…

or appreciates cannolis in general.
You have no choice but to be a foodie.

12. When you come back to Saint Mike’s you have major Bagel World withdrawals.

13. You call chocolate sprinkles jimmies, and everyone’s like, “Hold up who’s Jimmy?”

14. You call a shopping cart a carriage and everyone thinks you mean a baby carriage.

15. “Sweet Caroline” is a JAM.

16. You’re a devoted Red Sox Fan even if you don’t like baseball.

17. You see games and concerts at Fenway Park and brag about it being the best stadium.

18. You’re a Pat’s fan – Superbowl Champs baby!

19. At least one of your elementary school field trips involved riding or steering a Duck Boat…and you have to explain to non-Bostonians what a Duck Boat is!

(It’s both a trolley AND a boat!)
