You Know You’re From Boston When…

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

1) You bleed Dunks iced coffee, and crave it even when its negative degrees out

 

2) You never refer to Boston as “Beantown”

 

3) You can’t deal with people who mispronounce the basics like “Copley” and “Worcester”

 

4) You call this “ruit” not “beer pong”:

 

(And you’re right)

 

5) You think that 50-degree weather calls for tanning

 

6) Anytime someone mentions a celebrity that happens to be from Massachusetts you have to point it out to everyone around you

“Oh you watch The Office? Yeah basically everyone in that show is from Boston, so, I don’t know, it’s pretty chill.”

 

7) Your favorite movies are The Town, Good Will Hunting, and The Departed

 

8) Similarly, you have a crush on Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Mark Wahlberg

 

9) You dream about Leonardo DiCaprio’s Boston accent in The Departed

 

10) You live in a suburb outside of the city but still tell people you’re from Boston

 

11) You go “down the Cape”

 

12) You know the brother of the girlfriend of the hairdresser who cuts Tom Brady’s hair

 

13) And you get angry whenever someone insists that New York is better
