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.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
