Kensington, MD. A small town between Washington, DC and Baltimore Md. Comprised of vineyard vines, tan lines, and everything you need in your life. Growing up here there is never a dull moment, and always something fun to do. Whether it is hanging out by Chipotle and 7-11, chilling at the pool or heading out with friends for the night you find a way to see everyone you have ever known in your entire life (including your parents). You know the hot spots to hang out and the back roads to get away. You also know that when you come home from college, everyone you grew up with will be right there with you and nothing is going to change. Here are 12 things people from Kensington can relate to.

1. Growing up in Kensington you knew everyone.

"Hey its the 3rd time I have seen you and its only Wednesday!" Never gets old?

2. Continental Pizza.

You walk in and they know your order because you are there all the time and Friday's during Lent? Forget it the line is out the door.

3. Chipotle and Five Guys were a big deal.

The biggest things to ever come to Kensington were the addition of Chipotle and Five Guys and it is the best thing that ever happened.

4. Majority of your friends lived down the street from you or the next street over.


"Hey want to come over? Yeah I'll be there in 30 seconds" is said on a regular basis.

5. Sports are a big deal and without them you are somewhat of an outcast.


If "What lacrosse tournament are you going to this weekend?" and "Perfect I'll see you there!" doesn't happen there is a problem.

6. You go on vacation to be with your family and instead hang out with everyone from Kensington


Bethany Beach in the summer is like K-town with sand and the ocean.

7. Halloween is a BIG deal.


You know all the best houses and who gives out the biggest candy bars. (Shout out to PW for the ribs because candy is overrated!)

8. Christmas is an even bigger deal.


Everyone brings out the big guns year after year because if you don't win the candy canes for the front of your house is Santa really coming?

9. There are 3 go to pools.


If you don't go to Columbia, Connecticut Belair, or Cedarbrook do you even live in Kensington?

10. High School isn't much different than Middle School.

Aside from the workload getting bigger, the sports getting harder, and the schools being different, most people continued on to high school with their middle school best friends.

11. Everyone knows everything.


Word travels fast and you can't decide if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

12. It is home.


You know you wouldn't feel home anywhere else because is everyone is so close. Coming home from college is the best because you catch up with old friends and nothing has changed.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
