15 Signs You Are From Savannah, Tennessee
Savannah Main Street

It's a tiny town with a population of about 7,100. You know the backroads, what grocery store is in what shopping center, and every word to "Eye of the Tiger." Here are some reasons why it's such a special place to live.


1. You’ve had to explain that you’re from Savannah, Tenn., not Georgia.

2. When people ask you where that is, you have to tell them that it’s about 20 minutes from Pickwick Lake.

3. When people ask you where that is, you have to explain that it’s where Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi meet.

4. Giving directions is easy: Wayne Road goes to Waynesboro. Pickwick Road goes to Pickwick. Florence Road goes to Florence.

5. Everyone is in a rush to get out of church so they can get a seat at Fish Hut.

6. Going to the movies isn’t really going to the movies if you don’t get the popcorn.

7. Walking the catwalk at the bridge is the epitome of high school adventures.

8. The true sign of a relationship is if you go to La Potasina together.

9. Your first time backing out on Main Street is terrifying.

10. You can’t listen to “Eye of the Tiger” without wanting to dance.

11. You swear after-school traffic is worse than rush hour in some cities.

12. If you don’t know what color shirt to order for your event, you just get maroon.

13. You think the tiny tiger statue at Jim Carroll Stadium is really silly, but you still love it.

14. You can imitate John Thomas’ voice from his famous snow day calls.

15. If you’re going to meet up with friends to go somewhere, it’ll be at either First Baptist or First Methodist -- sometimes, McDonald's.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
