9. You've Tried Moonshine Before.

Not what you were expecting right?

10. You've Probably Gone Mudding At Least Once.

No time is better than after a good rain.

11. If It Barely Started Snowing You Knew You Weren't Going To School.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.
