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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
