11 Things Every Woodstock, GA Teenager Understands
Anna Leigh Mayfield

Living in Woodstock, Georgia as a teenager is comprised of several key aspects. I didn't think I would ever miss these common things, but moving out of Woodstock has made me all sorts of sentimental.

1. Starbucks is overrated. So you go to Copper Coin.

Those black-wooden booths are some of the best spots in town to work on homework, and if you haven't carved your name into one of them, you certainly have considered it. If you decide against Copper Coin, you drive the extra 10 minutes to get to Cool Beans. You know you love that outdoor patio, despite the frequent smokers.

2. All of your friends (or you) work at Chick Fil A, and "My pleasure" is a normal phrase.

3. Rope Mill Park is a way of life.

You've taken pictures up against that graffiti wall and you've crossed the railroad tracks, and then cried on the way back (or you didn't... but if you're like me, you cried). You probably sit by the river sometimes and wonder if it's safe to swim, or if there is some random creature lurking in the water. Really you're just there to "illegally" go back to the railroad tracks.

4. That Steak n Shake on Hwy 92 is the bomb. Oh, so is Canyon's. Especially Canyon's.


5. You've made plans with about three different people to move into those cool apartments in Downtown Woodstock.

6. You've also made plans to go take yoga at the Hot Ember yoga place in Downtown Woodstock, but you know you're never actually going to do it.

7. "Do you go to First Baptist Woodstock?"


8. If you want to be cool, you go down to Chastain and climb at Stone Summit. But if we're being honest, most of y'all just go to take Snapchats.

9. Downtown Woodstock parking became even more of a problem after Pokemon Go was released.

10. Woodstock has everything - super Target, Sam's, the Outlets, about 500 Chick Fil A's, plenty of Starbucks, and WaHo - except a Bubble Tea place.


11. Woodstock's teenage population is divided into several major categories: the hipsters, the preps (complete with EVERYTHING Vineyard Vines), the intentional Goodwill shoppers, the punks, and the vapers.

It's got easy access to everything. I miss Woodstock. Don't take it for granted, kids. It's a grand little place.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
