11 Things Every Woodstock, GA Teenager Understands
Anna Leigh Mayfield

Living in Woodstock, Georgia as a teenager is comprised of several key aspects. I didn't think I would ever miss these common things, but moving out of Woodstock has made me all sorts of sentimental.

1. Starbucks is overrated. So you go to Copper Coin.

Those black-wooden booths are some of the best spots in town to work on homework, and if you haven't carved your name into one of them, you certainly have considered it. If you decide against Copper Coin, you drive the extra 10 minutes to get to Cool Beans. You know you love that outdoor patio, despite the frequent smokers.

2. All of your friends (or you) work at Chick Fil A, and "My pleasure" is a normal phrase.

3. Rope Mill Park is a way of life.

You've taken pictures up against that graffiti wall and you've crossed the railroad tracks, and then cried on the way back (or you didn't... but if you're like me, you cried). You probably sit by the river sometimes and wonder if it's safe to swim, or if there is some random creature lurking in the water. Really you're just there to "illegally" go back to the railroad tracks.

4. That Steak n Shake on Hwy 92 is the bomb. Oh, so is Canyon's. Especially Canyon's.


5. You've made plans with about three different people to move into those cool apartments in Downtown Woodstock.

6. You've also made plans to go take yoga at the Hot Ember yoga place in Downtown Woodstock, but you know you're never actually going to do it.

7. "Do you go to First Baptist Woodstock?"


8. If you want to be cool, you go down to Chastain and climb at Stone Summit. But if we're being honest, most of y'all just go to take Snapchats.

9. Downtown Woodstock parking became even more of a problem after Pokemon Go was released.

10. Woodstock has everything - super Target, Sam's, the Outlets, about 500 Chick Fil A's, plenty of Starbucks, and WaHo - except a Bubble Tea place.


11. Woodstock's teenage population is divided into several major categories: the hipsters, the preps (complete with EVERYTHING Vineyard Vines), the intentional Goodwill shoppers, the punks, and the vapers.

It's got easy access to everything. I miss Woodstock. Don't take it for granted, kids. It's a grand little place.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
