10 Ways to Tell That You Live in Small Town USA

Everyone loves to make fun of the people from small towns; the accents are "funny," trucks are loved more than offspring and there is nothing to do but stare at the wall-- mainly because it is hard to find a network that can provide TV way out in the middle of nowhere. City "folk" love to talk about the negatives of small town living, but small town residents actually love the places they come from. Here are 10 things everyone from a small town will recognize and most of them are reasons why we love our homes.

1. Your teachers were also your parents' teachers.

2. You know everyone by the car that they drive.

3. You say you hate it, but once you leave, you can't wait to come back.

4. You know at least one person who thinks they'll make it big as a rapper.

5. Everyone gets excited when a new grocery store is built.

6. You hang out with friends in some kind of parking lot... wherever they won't kick you out.

7. The sound of gun shots doesn't make you jump... you know that it means someone is hunting.


8. You learn how to talk over a loud, diesel engine.

9. You use the phrase "I'm going to town" whenever you leave your house.

10. You know every person you graduate with.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
