I heard they call water fountains bubblas

It's true. In Boston they call water fountains bubblas.

This past spring break was hands down the best spring break of my life. Six of my best friends (all who are graduated last year) bought me a trip to Boston and New York. It was my early graduation present from them, and it was the absolute best present ever. They knew I applied to some east coast schools, so they took me college touring and sightseeing.

The first thing I noticed in Boston was how different the people were, and I don't mean race. I'm talking about manners. Don't get me wrong, I loved the city, but the people there were so mean! One morning we were waiting in line to get breakfast and the lady in front of us asked for a sandwich without the bun. The man behind the counter, the manager might I add, asked her why she didn't want the bun. It wasn't just a "why?" but more of a "WHY???" Yes, it is a little strange, but especially as the manager, you are not supposed to treat a customer like that. They ended up arguing over a stupid bun for a while and we didn't know whether to leave or not.

Another thing I noticed about east coasters is that they do not care about crosswalk signals at all. They don't just jaywalk, but they jaywalk diagonally! I couldn't do that. I thought I'd get "bachi" for jaywalking so I was pretty much the only one paying attention to the crosswalk signals.

By the end of my trip, I had mixed feelings about the east coast. I loved the city a lot, but the people really made me feel unsafe and always on guard. Everyone was in a hurry to get somewhere and just pushed through the crowd. I could never do that.
