I am from a town so small, it just recently got a Chick-Fil-A.

I actually have not lived in a small town my whole life.

I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. I then moved to Blairsville, GA.

I stayed there all the way from 4th grade to 12th grade. That town is even smaller than the town that I currently reside in which is Carrollton, GA. It wasn't until I could actually drive and do stuff with my friends till I realized that there are some certain things that really only people from a small town understand.

You know you're from a small town if you go literally anywhere and you always see someone you know. I mean seriously small towns are known for this. I also used to be a waitress so I really couldn't go anywhere without someone recognizing me.

You know you're from a small town if you and your friends just go hang out at Walmart for no unknown reason at 3AM because you're bored and that is the only thing open.

You know you're from a small town if you and your friends go to Waffle House after hanging out all night long at someone's house.

You know you're from a small town if you invite your friends to go get gas and go to get groceries with.

You know you're from a small town if everything in your town closes after 9PM.

You know you're from a small town if everyone is related to everyone.

You know you're from a small town if you can walk everywhere.

You know you're from a small town if you can go to bed at night without locking your front door and your car door.

You know you're from a small town if the town is dead Sunday mornings because everyone is in church.

You know you're from a small town if everyone went to the same school their whole life.

I wouldn't have traded growing up in a small town for anything. Everyone is so nice, and the towns are so cute. There may not be a lot of things to do when you're trying to grow up, but you will be glad you grew up there in the end.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
