disclaimer: I'm from New England so I'm allowed to post this...
You might be from New England if...
* If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through
36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by,
you might live in New England.
* If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each
year because Mt. Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and Boston gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in New England.
* If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you
might live in New England.
* If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the
year, you might live in New England.
* If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't
work there, you might live in New England.
* If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in
New England.
* If your town has more bars than churches, you might live in New
England.
* If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who
dialed a wrong number, you might
live in New England.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE NEW ENGLANDER WHEN:
1. "Vacation" means going South past New York City for the weekend
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings).
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend / wife knows how to use them.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
10 Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
12. You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
14. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
15. Down South to you means Philadelphia.
16. A brat is something you eat.
17. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
18. You go out for a fish fry every Friday.
19. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
20 You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
21. You find 10 degrees "a little chilly."

Hey guys, can we tie this in to pre-osteo, otherwise I will have to move it to the lounge...
How about this, who here is from New England and is applying to UNECOM?
I loved UNE when I interviewed there by the way, great school!

Sorry Nate,
Perhaps I should have elaborated more on where I want to go with my post. I am from Boston and as many of you have already known, it is a highly MD congested city. At times I feel like a misfit because I am going to be a DO. It is not that I have doubts with my ability to treat patients with osteopathy. I just think it is a shame how there is such a lack of awareness when it comes to osteopathic medicine. I do however carry myself with a great sense of pride knowing that I will soon be part of an unique community. I love teaching my peers about osteopathy and breaking down barriers. With that said, I just want to see how many people from the New England area are interested in attending osteopathic medical school so that we can stay connected.

I think Im one of the few here representing good old New Hampshire 😀 . Im certainly enjoying the warmer weather down here in West Virginia (the deep dirty south according to my family). That line about south being considered anything past New York is dead-on! Its a lot like NH down here though people wear camo to work, school, church, Nascar is a religion, if you dont hunt youre weird, and guys sink all their money into pimping out their pick-up trucks. Its just like home with an accent.
Im looking forward to heading back up to New England for residency though, you just cant beat the type of training youll get in the Boston area. I agree that it is a M.D.-dominated town but I like the challenge of coming in as a D.O. and showing that I can practice medicine just as well as these folks.
For all you CT-ers, what is the deal with your highway construction projects at night? I was on my way up to Boston to watch game 4 of the series with my friends last October, and where did I end up listening to the final out? IN MY CAR STUCK IN CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC!!!! 😡 I think it was a conspiracy put on by rogue Yankees fans in the CT Highway Department ..
