“Oh yeah, the snow is way worse up in Boston,” explains SFS Freshman Justin Harbor. “The average person’s ability to experience disappointment and not resort to violence is also, funnily enough, much worse up there too.” To Harbor and many others who hail from the climate-wise and also emotion-wise frigid region of New England, moving down south to Washington, DC for school has required a fair bit of adjusting. “I grew up just outside of Boston and would have to defrost my car every day before school. I’d also have to flip off at least five people before school as well,” College Sophomore Stacey Berdard explains. “It’s just part of what makes Boston so unique!”. 

“It’s been so weird moving to a city where I don’t have to settle my disputes with bare-knuckled brawls in parking lots. I’ve noticed that down here people tend to um, how do I say this, use their words more often,” Harbor elucidates. “Anyways what was your question again? Oh yeah, the snow is also worse in Boston, definitely.”
