1. When necessary, I can still bust out with a North Carolina accent like a champ, y'all.
2. No matter how long a girl might live in the south, her inner northern person will prevail in the face of cold. As in: Hmmm, it's 40 out. I don't need a stinking coat, because I'm from NEW ENGLAND. A sweater is PERFECTLY warm enough, thanks.
3. Snow boots, while not sexy, are necessary.
4. Speaking of snow, it's pretty! And also, shoveling it is an excellent workout. For someone else. (Yay for apartment living!)

6. Hypothermia is not sassy (see #5).
7. It seems as though most people operating vehicles in MA obtained their licenses from some sort of correspondence school.

17. This is an entire conversation in New England:
Person one:"'Sup?"
Person two: "Duuuuude." (shakes head)
Person one: "Yep."
18. Working hard is mandatory. MANDATORY. Because you're a New Englander.
19. Telling someone you live in New Hampshire but then giving them a phone number that doesn't start with "603" will confuse the hell out of them.
20. Family comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes.
Here's to you, 603.
