There's plenty of small towns in America and we probably have plenty in common with all of them, but there's a certain community spirit you feel being from this one.


Everybody knows everything about everyone else.

I've straight up been asked if my moms best friends ex-husband's new girlfriend is nice or not….



All our parties are bonfires!



And what could be more fun…?

Though you might also find us out on the lake--day or night

That's right we have our very own lake. Man- made and everything!

It's half country and half suburban.

Most everybody owns at least a little land and if not, they're a part of the 5-6 subdivisions scattered around. So no, I'm not a farm kid but we own 2 acres and you can see cows from my front porch.

But did you know it was founded by a family from NYC?

Who doesn't love some historically true stories!

Our sports teams are a big deal.

Everyone comes out to cheer on the Warriors! Plus, just about all the athletes have made the front page of the newspaper at least once!

And so are the restaurants!

Ever heard of Justus drugstore? Not actually a drugstore but a fancy place to dine while in town. It was showcased on T.V and made multiple “Best restaurant” lists.

Overall we stand up for our own! Once you leave you realize just how much support you have gotten from this community. It's irreplaceable and missed by everyone that has left it behind!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
