I will basically state 20 of the things people from a small town understand.

1. The best kind of politics is small town politics.

2. When a chain restaurant opens, it's actually really exciting.

3. There are things about small towns you won't see anywhere else, and it's truly magnificent.

4. Small town values are very real, and people aren’t afraid to tell you about them.

5. Everyone knows everyone else’s business, and you will not get away with any bad behavior.

6. But when you find some unexpected adventure, it feels like you’ve just won the damn lottery.

7. The rules of etiquette don’t always apply in a small town, and that’s kind of awesome.

8. Going out on the cheap is super easy.

9. Trying to date can sometimes feel hopeless since everyone at the bars went to high school with you.

10. Fresh food is abundant because it’s probably in your backyard.

11. Since you’re living in the middle of nowhere, you tend to be a lot closer to nature.

12. People in small towns watch out for each other.

13. Everyone shows up for local parades, and float planning can be filled with LOTS of small town drama.

14. Friday nights are all about high school sports, whether you like it or not.

15. Getting a driver’s license is the most exciting thing in the world because then there’s the hope of road trips.

16. Small acts of rebellion feel extremely satisfying.

17. And because it’s a small town, most people have a sense of humor about it.

18. The school fair was a huge social event.

19. And the county fair was so beautiful it made you weep with happiness.

20. Regardless, deep down you know that being from a small town is something to be proud of.

A small town is different than a big city. A small town generally is community possessing a post office and not much else.. Maybe a gas station or two. Small Town: 200-800 citizens within limits. If you know of a small town, been in a small town or even lived in a small town, you will like the atmosphere.

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.

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.

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.
