I actually have not lived in a small town my whole life.

I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. I then moved to Blairsville, GA.

I stayed there all the way from 4th grade to 12th grade. That town is even smaller than the town that I currently reside in which is Carrollton, GA. It wasn't until I could actually drive and do stuff with my friends till I realized that there are some certain things that really only people from a small town understand.

You know you're from a small town if you go literally anywhere and you always see someone you know. I mean seriously small towns are known for this. I also used to be a waitress so I really couldn't go anywhere without someone recognizing me.

You know you're from a small town if you and your friends just go hang out at Walmart for no unknown reason at 3AM because you're bored and that is the only thing open.

You know you're from a small town if you and your friends go to Waffle House after hanging out all night long at someone's house.

You know you're from a small town if you invite your friends to go get gas and go to get groceries with.

You know you're from a small town if everything in your town closes after 9PM.

You know you're from a small town if everyone is related to everyone.

You know you're from a small town if you can walk everywhere.

You know you're from a small town if you can go to bed at night without locking your front door and your car door.

You know you're from a small town if the town is dead Sunday mornings because everyone is in church.

You know you're from a small town if everyone went to the same school their whole life.

I wouldn't have traded growing up in a small town for anything. Everyone is so nice, and the towns are so cute. There may not be a lot of things to do when you're trying to grow up, but you will be glad you grew up there in the end.

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.

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.
