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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
