14 Things You Automatically Know When You're From Winnemucca, Nevada
Maclyn Crnkovich
  1. Everyone knows everyone. This has its pros and cons, depending on how you look at it. Although it is nice to be a part of such a tightly knit community, it is a real bummer when everyone and their grandmas know your business.
  2. If you were born before 2005, you probably still call it “Red Lion” instead of “Winnemucca Inn”
  3. It’s impossible to go to the grocery store without running in to 4 different people you know. There is no such thing as a quick trip.
  4. People who aren’t from Northern Nevada have no idea where this place is, so you just say “It’s two hours north of Reno.”
  5. We probably have some of the prettiest sunsets in the whole world. All of Nevada, actually.
  6. Honestly, no one really ever camped up Water Canyon, but everyone has been there.
  7. If you really want to see a movie the day it is released, you won’t find that here. Damnit, Park Cinemas.
  8. The community is oddly supportive of the one and only Lowry High School. (Go Bucks!)
  9. There’s 3 radio stations, and two of them rarely work. The presets in your car are 92.7, 94.3, and 102.7. Don't argue with me.
  10. There are two types of people; China Garden or Wonderful House.
  11. You probably still call Khoury’s, Albertsons... and Ridley's, Raleys.
  12. When the new four-way stop was put in on Bridge and Haskell, everyone went completely psychotic.
  13. You’re not sure what disgusting mysteries lie within the mighty Humboldt River, but you still swim/float it anyways. Don't ever swallow the water.
  14. You know that wherever you go, you will always rather be here. It's uniqueness grows on you.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
