20 Signs You Grew Up In East Cobb

East Cobb, what a joyous and interesting place to grow up. It is one of those places that if you were to describe it to an outsider, the only thing you could say is, "imagine complete suburbia and that, my friend, is East Cobb."

1. The day East Cobb got a Goodwill, angels sang from above.

2. You're still upset that Chuck E. Cheese is gone. RIP to our favorite mouse.

3. You watched The Avenue go from young kid stores to middle-aged women stores (no offense, moms of East Cobb). Still miss you too, Fuzziwig's and Johnny Rockets.

4. Reading the quote of the week on the sign outside Sherlock's is the highlight of your drive down the 120 loop.

5. Latricia will forever be the best waitress at Waffle House.

6. You don't understand why there needs to be a Pollo Tropical next to the Moe's which is next to Tijuana Joe's.

7. Ordering a beer at Sub Tap feels weird because you're pretty sure your still 12 and not actually over 21.

8. All East Cobb moms know everything about everyone. It is scary.

9. You know every waiter and waitress at Bagelicious, and it is harder to decide whose section to sit in than it is to order.

10. To this day it doesn't make sense why East Side Elementary is nicer than Walton High School.

11. The fact that QT Corporate tore down the QT on Canton Road without asking, hurts more than they know.

12. Dollar sushi at Fuji Hana is the best and worst thing to happen to you.

13. Everyone has heard the rumor that Pope High School was built by a guy that also builds prisons.

14. No day was complete at Walton High School without Dr. Hand telling you that you had too much beauty showing, but also thanking you for coming to school today.

15. "Missy Elliot and Usher live down the street in the neighborhood with the big houses."

16. During your teenage angst period, you threatened to drive to Psycho Tattoo and get pierced or tatted up.

17. The cart escalators at Target make you feel fancy AF.

18. Everyone knows at least one person that has worked at Yogli Mogli or Brusters.

19. Anytime someone asks you where you're from and you reply with, "East Cobb" you get the same judging look followed by, "Oh, you're one of those East Cobb Snobs." YUP, I AM.

20. You couldn't imagine being raised in any other suburban bubble.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
