17 Signs You're From Milford, NE

Every small town has it's little quirks or memories, but Milford, Nebraska has the best. No matter if you were born and raise in this place, or if you only lived there for a few short years, there are 17 thing that prove you're from Milford, Nebraska.

1. You probably got at least one vehicle from Rediger's.

If not, you strongly considered that one white car in the back of the lot...until someone bought it.

2. You could smell the Feedlot.

If the wind was blowing just right, you would have manure filled nostrils all day long.

3. If you wanted fun, you drove to Lincoln.

Nothing like driving 30 minutes to get to the nearest mall.

4. There are only a few places to work.

You either worked at SCC, Dairy Queen, Subway or one of the nursing homes. Maybe all four.

5. You have plenty of churches to choose from.

Isn't there like...30 of them now?

6. South Park was not just a TV show.

You might have gone there to meet up with your crush in junior high.

7. You went to Milford High School.

Mostly because there wasn't anywhere else to go. Go Eagles!

8. Everyone knew you, even if you didn't know them.

Thanks, parents.

9. Everyone also knew all of your drama.

Secrets were not safe.

10. You could never lie to the cops.

I mean you could, but they might just ask your parents the next day anyway.

11. If you were planning to "sit and dine," you went to Pizza Kitchen.

The classiest place in town has a buffet.

12. You couldn't go a day without someone revving their supped-up pickup truck.

It was like a battle between the high school boys and the SCC boys.

13. Four o'clock traffic was the worst.

This was when classes were done for both the high school and the community college. Good luck!

14. You either knew, were related to, or are a Roth or a Troyer.

There were at least two of each in all of the high school classes, too.

15. Milford Fun Days meant the official end of summer.

Forget that classes just started two days prior, Fun Days is the end.

16. There was no such thing as "bad food" at local potlucks.

It seemed like every person and their grandma was incapable of make anything that tasted bad. I guess the Mennonite heritage is to thank for that.

17. You can't have "Milford" without The Mill.

Seriously, it's where the name of the town came from.

Milford may seem like most other small Nebraska towns, but we're better.

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.

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.
