Why I love small town life

I love it when you go to the local gas station that has a hole in the wall restaurant, you know everybody and everybody that is there. You get caught up on the small town gossip like who has left, which boy is being a nuisance in the town. You can talk to anybody in there because you lived in the town so much and grew up in it that everybody knows your name. Also, you can walk in there and when you go up to order they generally say the usual because you've gone so much that they know what you are going to order. When you walk into the gas station they are generally playing good ol' music because most of the folks that go there listen to country music.

You can walk anywhere in the town because people drive like they got common sense. Another thing iI like about small town life is everybody helps one another through the hard times, everybody is willing to go to the extra mile to help one out either that be with mechanics, helping on the farm or just being their for support.

Then there is the local church where everybody goes too. Everybody gathers to hear the good lords message than afterwords you go home play a pick up game of football, and have a damn good Sunday super comprised of chicken, corn, and other good stuff. You then go out for your Sunday drive which everybody who does not come from a small town does not like Sunday drivers becasue they go slow and those people are in a hurry.

Small Town Life is Better Than CITY LIFE

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?

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.
