14 Signs You're From Richmond, KY
Richmond Chamber of Commerce

1. You don't need Twitter and Facebook for everyone to find out what you did last night (but it sure does expedite the process).

2. Your favorite names for Richmond include: The RichNasty, The 859, and the Good Ole RKY.

3. Everyone knows your full name, who your parents are, and what they do for a living.

4. Pretty much the only thing to do on Friday night is go to Galaxy Bowling.

5. Your favorite place to eat is Casa. Coming in close second is Thai Smile.

6. You have to go to Berea at least once a month to hike the Pinnacles and indulge in some Papaleno’s.


7. Your favorite place to grab some coffee and study? Purdy’s, of course.


8. Adorabelles and Olive You are some of your favorite places to shop.

9. You always wave at Big World and you may even have one of his infamous t-shirts.

10. You remember when Paradise Cove opened and it was a BIG deal.

11. You always go to Gibson Bay for the spectacular fireworks show on Independence Day. Seriously, good job RKY.

12. You always look forward to Pops at the Park and free concerts in the Ravine.

13. You remember when the Richmond Centre used to be a farm. You also remember the Richmond Mall before it became a zombie wasteland.

14. But as great as Richmond may (or may not) be, you still have to go to Lexington. All the time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
