11 Signs You Grew Up in Tallahassee, FL

If there's one thing that has set me apart from the majority of my friends at college, it's that I have lived in the same city for my entire life. Certain people are simply amazed that I have never once moved, and even more amazed that I am far from being the only one. Although we often complain about the lack of things to do in town, us Tallahassee natives still find comfort in our hometown, despite a certain unpleasant nickname some people like to use thanks to "The Office." Here is a list of some things that I think most Tally natives have in common.

1. You have no problem being the only person wearing normal clothes in a restaurant full of people in business attire. In fact, you don’t even notice it anymore.

2. You notice and the lack of hills whenever you visit a downtown area in another city.

3. You either own an unnecessarily large pick-up truck or wonder why so many people own unnecessarily large pick-up trucks.

4. You miss the canopy roads when you're out of town.

5. You’re either very good at navigating because other places make much more sense to you or you’re very bad at it because the layout is nothing like your hometown.

6. You have to stop yourself from giving directions using landmarks.

7. You’re uncomfortable when you don’t know any of the cashiers if you have to go to a different Publix than you usually do.

8. You feel like you and the people around you are always the last up on the trends.

9. But when they do, it’s all anyone can talk about.

10. You graduated high school with multiple people that you had gone to preschool with.

11. You wouldn’t trade your little Tally bubble for anything.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
