5 Signs You're a Wanderlust Person from a Small Town

Coming from a small town, you're used to seeing someone you know every time you leave your house, it takes five minutes to get anywhere, and there is no such thing as a secret. It seems as if the people who are trapped in such little spaces are the ones that strive to see the world the most. Here are a couple signs that you might be one of them:

1. You attempt a hip Instagram

Although you might have not the coolest things to take pictures of, you make sure you edit them all perfectly on VSCO, so that your feed makes your life look at least somewhat interesting.

2. You ask for vacations instead of gifts

Why ask for a gift card to one of the five restaurants in town when you can ask to go explore somewhere you have never been?

3. You love the city

Having the city just a two-hour train ride away is convenient and usually the only thing you look forward to after you buy your ticket. The feeling of being in a big city where no one knows you is the best escape.

4. You've been farther than anyone else from your town

Being known as the world traveler that takes advantage of every break makes you feel like you should be living somewhere bigger and better.

5. You want to move away

A small town girl with a desire to travel needs big opportunities, and those just don't seem to come by in a little farm town. The cornfields might be all you've known for the past twenty years, but you can decide what you expose yourself to for the next twenty.

In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
