24 Things People Who Grew Up In Marysville Know To Be True

I think we can all agree, no matter how much we love to deny it, there truly is no place like home. Especially when your home is Marysville, Ohio. Here are a few things only us “Marysvillians” will understand:

1. When you go to the local Taco Bell, there really is no time estimate for how long you will be gone

2. There's no walk of shame quite like the one down to Bob’s office when he busts you for not buying a parking pass

3. It is actually impossible to go to any of the grocery stores without seeing at least one person you know

4. Stuck behind a train? Want to get around it? Too bad you can’t because that one train track runs through the entire town

5. You know all the set spots that cops monitor at night to catch people speeding

6. For those of us that lived in Mill Valley, there is an exact time you need to leave for school in order to avoid the massive lines of traffic

7. The new Kroger is Disney World compared to the old one

8. Other doughnuts don't even compare to Mrs. Renison’s doughnuts

9. What life was like when the movie theater was open

10. “So… your mascot is a butterfly?” is a very common question we all have to deal with

11. You thought FFA was common until you went to college and realized people at other schools don't even know what those letters stand for

12. The Union County Fair isn’t all that it was when you were a kid

13. The frustration of getting stuck behind people going 25 on Coleman’s Crossing

14. Attending a party in a barn is nothing unusual

15. It's only a matter of time until you're dragged by someone to Mad River and forced to figure out how to maneuver a snowboard

16. Drive-thru convenience stores are also not as common as they are in our town

17. Dan's riveting videos are not a myth

18. The whole town stops when there's a parade (literally they shut down every street in uptown)

19. You have dined in and sat on the patio at Benny's on a Friday night in the summer at least one time, if not many more

20. Even though the real name is "Fiesta Grande" we all call it "Casa"

21. The traffic from leaving a football game on a Friday night is just as bad as Columbus rush hour traffic

22. Everyone knows everyone's business without question

23. You could make the drive to Dublin in your sleep at this point

24. You want your new college friends to come experience Marysville, but at the same time you don't

Growing up in Marysville was quite the experience that honestly no amount of words can accurately describe, and I think I'm speaking for every other Marysvillian by saying this. Marysville will always be in our thoughts, whether we want it to be or not.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
