10 Things You'll Only Understand If You're From Lebanon, Tennessee

If you've ever driven from Nashville to Knoxville, visited the Prime Outlets, or taken a hike through the Cedar Forrest Woods, you've been in Lebanon, Tennessee. It's a small town, with a population of 29,000, but has just as much character, if not more, as New York City. Lebanon is full of history and homegrown traditions, and you'd know all about it if you've ever taken residence in this wonderful place.

1. There's a pretty good chance you eat Los Compadres Sunday Buffet after church.

And everyone knows that Old Los is better than New Los. Without question.

2. You spent your summers as a small child swimming at the Jimmy Floyd Pool.


3. You couldn't believe it when Chick-fil-a AND Starbucks came to town.


4. You always would get Chicken-on-a-Stick at the famous Wilson County Fair.

Don't knock it 'till you try it.

5. Listening to your parents talk about how awesome the old movie theater was, then finally getting to see it restored to its' original beauty was a magical thing.


6. Always driving by the General Hatton statue, and checking to see if someone had put sunglasses on him again.

7. There was no way that you would miss the Lebanon vs. Central football/basketball games.

Don't even get me started on who had the better student section. *cough* Central *cough*

8. There's a 75 percent chance you got your prom dress or prom tux at The White Room.

I mean, who could blame ya? It's only the best wedding/formal shop in Tennessee.

9. Being so proud of being in Cracker Barrel's founding town.


10. The creature head in Cuz's Antique Shop freaked you out, no matter how fake looking it was.


10. And it's Leb-nen, not Leb-a-non.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
