13 Things You Know If You're From Morrow County
Wikipedia.org

Morrow County, located in central Ohio, will always be home. Sure, nobody knows where it is, everybody knows everybody, and it can be very boring with how small it is, but it will always be home. There are some things you just know are true and can't find anywhere but Morrow County.

1. Everywhere you go you see someone you know.

Everywhere you go in Morrow County you run into someone you know. You'll find yourself having to make awkward small talk for what feels like forever or you find yourself hiding and going out of your way to avoid them.

2. Pot holes everywhere.

Sure, there are potholes everywhere. But, the ones in Morrow County seem insane. Basically the roads are an entire hole. You have to take detours around town just to avoid the insanely rough roads.

3. Nobody knows where you're from.

Whenever you describe where you're from you always get a very confused response. Usually, you have to just say you're from Columbus even though we aren't actually that close to it.

4. FFA, the fair, and drive your tractor to school day are very serious things.

Basically everyone is involved in FFA and if you aren't at the fair at the end of August, who are you? Don't forget about the seriousness of driving your tractor to school day. It's real.

5. You've known the same people you're entire life.

You have known you're best friend forever. You went to school with the same people since kindergarten until graduation.

6. You have to drive far away to get to anything good.

Sure, we have a few stores close if we really need something. However, all the good stores and all the good fast food places are at least a 15 minute drive.

7. Getting stuck behind a tractor is normal.

It's still annoying every time it happens, but at this point you're used to it happening.

8. Driving the backroads listening to music is considered fun.

Just driving around with the windows down and the music all the way up is such a good time.

9. Your teachers refer to you as your siblings or even your parents all throughout school.

Chances are your entire family, including your siblings, parents, and even your grandparents went through the same school with the same exact teachers. Getting called by the wrong name becomes normal.

10. Everyone knows everything about everyone.

It's a small town. People do talk.

11. It's literally in the middle of nowhere.

We really do live in the middle of a cornfield.

12. Meeting someone new from Morrow County feels like a miracle.

Finding new friends or someone to date in Morrow County is so had. But, you meet new people more often than you think. I know I went away to college and ended up meeting someone in my sorority from Morrow County. It's always a cool feeling to meet someone new when you feel like you know everyone.

13. There's only one Morrow County...

No matter what, it is home. Even when it's small and you feel tired of it. Even when you can't wait to get out. It's home. Always.

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
