15 Things You Know To Be True If You're From Red Bank, South Carolina
SCIway

Only people from small, country towns know the true essence of the small town vibe. Limited activities, farmland, mudding, and camouflage make a small southern town noticeable. But what makes Red Bank, South Carolina famous and extremely noticeable? Is it the lack of things to do, the possible bombing, or the murderer of the Charleston Nine? Here are some things that only people from Red Bank and towns alike know about small, southern towns:

1. A small town isn't truly on the map until it has an auto part store.

Well, Red Bank has 4 and counting. Every time they start building something, the residents get excited and it just turns out it's yet another auto parts store. Why can't Red Bank just get a Chick Fil A or some decent sit-down restaurant?

2. Rebel flags and deer emblems are on everything

trucks, clothes, tattoos, and more. If you don't know someone with most of these things, are you even truly from here?

3. No town is complete without a Walmart!

We've got that at least.

4. Want to go to a sit-down restaurant?

Take a pick: San Jose or the other generic Mexican restaurant. That's about it. Oh, and a Highway 55 which is decent.

5. You have to drive 30 minutes if you want to go anywhere or do anything productive.

6. You'll never run out of gas though!

There's a gas station on every corner.

7. Trucks are the most popular automobile of the little town.

They’re all decked out: spray painted, lifted, camo, you name it. (lol, sometimes all three)

8. We have our own town animal

Abraham the Camel.

9. Need a trusty steed?

Visit the local donkey farm for more information on how to buy a Red Bank donkey.

10. We've had a terrible kidnapping and murder that was right across the street from where White Knoll is currently at in 1985.

Sherri Smith was kidnapped and killed right in front of where White Knoll is at.

11. Harvest Fest

Our little version of a fair. It's so tiny and even has tilt-a-whirls. It's located at the main church in front of the high school.

12. Nothing ever normal happens in Red Bank, South Carolina.

How one randomly picks White Knoll out of a phone book to bomb, we'll never know...

13. There’s always that one park that floods intensely.

People took canoes out there one time.

14. The Lexington and White Knoll High school rivalry is real.

The school went on lockdown because there was a rumor of a Lexington student threatening to stab students at the pep rally.

15. Oh, and one of our own committed a hate crime.

Dylann Roof? Yeah, he attended our school sadly.

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.
