14 'Small Town Things' You Can't Help But Post On Social Media In The Summer
Kayla Ratajczak

Small towns--we have all been to one.

They're the towns that pop up out of nowhere when on a road trip and take only a few minutes to pass through. I mean if you blink, you could practically miss it. They typically are home to a few bars, one or two churches, a gas station, and maybe even a stop light if you're lucky.

And you may be asking yourself, what would there possibly be to do in the summer months in these small towns. Well, if you scroll through the social media of someone who is from a small town, you would definitely get the gist of it.

Here's a list of 14 social media posts you make in a small town during the summer months:

1. Sunsets

Caption: The definition of pure beauty that you can't get anywhere else but a small town.

2. Backroads

Caption: Look, it's a road with an end never in sight.

3. Fishing trips

Caption: Just another day out on the water catchin' big ones.

4. Ice cream dates

Caption: Ice cream--the necessity of life.

5. Fields

Caption: Who needs beaches and bustling cities when we have vast open spaces and the smell of fresh wheat being harvested? Plus look at all that beauty.

6. Softball pics

Caption: Diamonds are a girls' best friend.

7. Alcohol


Caption: Something has to get us through the day.

8. American pride

Caption: We literally bleed red, white, and blue.

9. Jeeps, trucks, go-karts, 4-wheelers, and any other machine that runs through dirt

Caption: We small-towners like our machines, and we have the dirt to go with them. It's a win-win.

10. Rainbows


Caption: Wow, out here we even have double rainbows.

11. Tractors

Caption: Look at those sugar beets grow.

12. Swimming pools

Caption: Just a girl with her gummy bear inflatable.

13. Farm animals

Caption: There's nothing like a bond between a girl and her cow.

14. And vacation pics to anywhere else besides our small town

Caption: Wow, look at us small town kids getting pics of a big city.


Although there isn't a lot to do in these terribly small towns, we definitely make the most of it, just check out our Snap stories.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2114

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
