1. You graduated High School with the same people you went to Elementary School or even pre-school with.

2. You knew everyone in you're graduating class... if you liked them or not.

On a positive note, graduation only took an hour because your class size was so small.

3. You knew everyone in your high school and town.

You've gone to the same school as these people since kindergarten.

4. Everyone knew everything about everyone.

EVERYTHING.

5. When asked where you're from you either mumble the nearest known town or county before automatically giving them details of what it's near.

No one has ever heard of your town, anyway.

6. You expect to run into at least two people or more when you go out.

Everywhere you go you are bound to run into somebody.

7. It's a big deal when a new restaurant or store opens up.

When you’ve had the same restaurants for your entire life, there’s no doubt that it will become the talk of the town.

8. You and your friends just drove around at night blasting music because there was nothing else to do.

With no destination in mind, you know the town like the back of your hand. So many memories were made just by driving around.

9. Or... you and your friends did nothing because there was actually nothing to do.

10. Getting a new kid at school was HUGE news.

11. Your whole school could fit into the gym.

With space to spare

12. Your teachers would call you by your siblings name or vise versa.

In a town that's small, there’s no doubt that they’ve taught at least one of them or are going to teach them.

13. Your town is referred to as a "bubble."

"the rye brook bubble"

14. Everyone talks about leaving but once you're gone, you know you'll miss it.
