The historic town of Chickamauga, Georgia is home to a little over 3,101 people. If you happen to be on of those people, congratulations! This article is for all the residents of Chickamauga who have taken pride of the Southern small town.

If you're from Chickamauga, you know all too well that:

1. When people ask where you're from, you just tell them you live near Chattanooga.

Because no one can pronounce Chickamauga let alone point to it on a map.

2. When you go into town, you see at least two people that you graduated with.

3. The official scent of Chickamauga is skunk.

4. Walking on the grass is one of the seven deadly sins.

5. It's never too hard to find a hair stylist.

6. Whenever a tragedy strikes or you lose a loved one, the supportive community of Chickamauga will always be there to help pick up the pieces.

7. Every time it rains or we experience a severe thunderstorm, we know there's a 50-50 chance that the whole city of Chickamauga will completely lose power.

8. Telling someone your last name and getting the reply,"So, are you related to so-and-so?"

9. Everyone knows your deepest, darkest secret before you even know it and constantly stays in your business. After all, it's Chickamauga.

10. You sometimes forget that the bypass is the interstate and the speed limit is 55 MPH.

11. Walking around "the block" is the perfect combination of exercising and socializing.

12. The Food Lion parking lot is the prime location where parents drop-off and pick-up their kids on the weekends.

13. You've been late to events because you (and half the town) got stuck behind the train.

14. Your wardrobe consists of a lot of navy blue, gray, and white items for Friday Night football games.

15. When the Ironman triathlon comes to town, it makes it nearly impossible to get anywhere in town.

16. Whether you're young or old, this saying always holds true: "Once a Trojan, Always a Trojan."

And you're proud of that.

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
