15 Signs You're From Windham, New Hampshire

Everyone always assumes that you're rich.

15 Signs You're From Windham, New Hampshire

We're the definition of a "small town." Here are a few signs you're from Windham, NH.

1. Everyone always assumes that you're rich

Whether you actually are rich or not, you live in one of the wealthiest towns in New Hampshire. So naturally, everyone pretty much assumes that you grew up in a mansion, own two yachts, a vacation house in Florida, and drive a brand new, nice car.

2. Everyone always asks about your brand new high school

It is really great to have such a new high school in our town. We often do take it for granted a lot, but we really do wish we could have a stadium, turf or track added onto our football field.

3. You probably won a state championship in high school.

For being such a new school, Windham has already won over 20 state championships in less than eight years, many different sports teams included.

4. You drive on Route 111 to go literally everywhere

The one road that pretty much connects all of Windham, you probably drive on it like 4-5 times a day.

5. You're sick and tired of construction

It seems like every month they tear up a new road and build a brand new one in pretty much the exact same place, and they've basically made an entirely new 111 by now. This construction that's been going on for years and years has led you to sitting in traffic forever.

6. You've spent countless weekend mornings at MaryAnn's Diner

Being the one and only diner in town, MaryAnn's always hits the spot. The food is absolutely to die for, and totally worth the wait on a busy Saturday morning.

7. You grew up going to the town beach

Even though it's a little beach on a small lake, Cobbett's Pond called for lots of fun on summer days when you were a kid.

8. And you probably went to Griffin Park a lot, too

Whether it was for a sports game or just to play on the playground, Griffin Park was the place to be as a kid. Not to mention Johnson's farm stand right next-door, where you would always get an ice cream and look at try to feed the goats.

9. You've been for many scenic walks along the rail trail

Probably the prettiest spot in Windham, and one of the best places to exercise.

10. Your family probably has a membership to Anytime Fitness

It's pretty much the only gym in town, and you see everybody you know when you go there.

11. Howie's is the only place you ever get gas

Because who wants to pump their own gas in the winter, or really any time at all?

12. Your idea of "going out" is to get food

Because there's literally nothing else to do in this small town, and you probably go to surrounding towns to go to actual restaurants, anyway.

13. You always stop at Dunks to get coffee

With three Dunkin Donuts in Windham, they're pretty much impossible to avoid.

14. Although you do love the Village Bean, too.

Their huge menu of drink choices is the best, and it makes an awesome place to hangout and study too.

15. You always complain about your small town, but in the end, you love the place that you grew up.

There's really no place like Windham.

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.
