10 Signs You Live In The Country

"Living on a dirt road..."

If you live in the country, you connect with this song. Here's ten signs you live in the country.

1. You stop your car for moving animals...and that means any kind! Ducks, chicken, dogs, cattle, etc.

My mom had to stop and wait for a chicken to lay her egg. Where? Smack dab in the middle of the road.

2. Your car is always dirty, no matter how many time you wash it.

You can't afford to take your car to the wash anymore because it's bound to be dirty the next day.

3. When your pets include anything and everything other than the normal, typical cat and dog.

My neighbor came to our door, telling us her animal was loose. She said that if we saw her, her favorite food was animal crackers. It was her pig, her pig that she kept in the house.

4. You have a tendency to drive in the middle of the road.

If you don't, you tend to slide.

5. Deer are frequent visitors.

Hello, neighbor!

6. Smells don't phase you anymore.

What smell? That's the pure air of the country, free of charge!

7. You're used to slow moving vehicles, due to farming equipment.

Just smile and wave, friends.

8. Your nearest neighbor is across the cornfield.

Borrowing an egg or some sugar is a little more difficult here

9. You can blare your music as loud as you want to.

"Turn your TV off, break that boom box out"

10. Clear skies and beautiful sunrises.

Breathtaking views make it all worthwhile.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
