Since this article from Buzzfeed already describes the 31 things only people from a small town will understand, here is the link: https://www.buzzfeed.com/erinlarosa/things-only-pe...

I will basically state 20 of the things people from a small town understand.

1. The best kind of politics is small town politics.

2. When a chain restaurant opens, it's actually really exciting.

3. There are things about small towns you won't see anywhere else, and it's truly magnificent.

4. Small town values are very real, and people aren’t afraid to tell you about them.

5. Everyone knows everyone else’s business, and you will not get away with any bad behavior.

6. But when you find some unexpected adventure, it feels like you’ve just won the damn lottery.

7. The rules of etiquette don’t always apply in a small town, and that’s kind of awesome.

8. Going out on the cheap is super easy.

9. Trying to date can sometimes feel hopeless since everyone at the bars went to high school with you.

10. Fresh food is abundant because it’s probably in your backyard.

11. Since you’re living in the middle of nowhere, you tend to be a lot closer to nature.

12. People in small towns watch out for each other.

13. Everyone shows up for local parades, and float planning can be filled with LOTS of small town drama.

14. Friday nights are all about high school sports, whether you like it or not.

15. Getting a driver’s license is the most exciting thing in the world because then there’s the hope of road trips.

16. Small acts of rebellion feel extremely satisfying.

17. And because it’s a small town, most people have a sense of humor about it.

18. The school fair was a huge social event.

19. And the county fair was so beautiful it made you weep with happiness.

20. Regardless, deep down you know that being from a small town is something to be proud of.

A small town is different than a big city. A small town generally is community possessing a post office and not much else.. Maybe a gas station or two. Small Town: 200-800 citizens within limits. If you know of a small town, been in a small town or even lived in a small town, you will like the atmosphere.

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.
