Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County is home to one of the biggest counties in the United States of America in terms of population, which means that we have developed our own culture over the course of time. Here are some surefire signs that you are from Gwinnett County.

1. "Atlanta" is pronounced "Alanna"

One way to distinguish Georgians from others is to ask them to say "Atlanta", if they pronounce it with the "t" it's a definite sign that they're not from Georgia.

2. Telling all of your friends that Migos is from where you live

The Atlanta rap scene has skyrocketed recently with Migos at the heim of the ship. Migos were always on the rise, but ever since Childish Gambino, a Greater Atlanta native, said "I’d like to thank the Migos, not for being on the show, but for making Bad and Boujee" at the Golden Globes, Migos have "takeoff."

3. Grayson High School's "Brookwood Where You At" will always be the standard for High School football rivalries

With nearly a million views on Youtube, "Brookwood Where You At" is the pinnacle of any high school rivalry. Ask anybody from Gwinnett County and they are bound to have heard "Brookwood Where You At."

4. Waffle House is always the place to go after any sporting event

Waffle House is quite literally the staple of the South, especially in Georgia. Win or loss, Waffle House is always the place to go after a game.

5. High School Football is NOT a joke

One thing Gwinnett County that is known in Gwinnett County is that high school football is one of the prime elements of your high school experience. Just ask Mill Creek High School's Student Section...

6. "#closegwinnett" will always be one of the biggest accomplishment by Gwinnett County students

Gwinnett County is notorious for being the last county to close, in even extreme weather conditions, so students took to social media to make a statement -- and it was a large one. Gwinnett County Public School students managed to make "#closegwinnett" on twitter trending worldwide with various memes along the way.

7. Most of the time when we do close, it's probably a quarter inch of snow

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
