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.

Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
