Even though it was renamed the Bon Secours Wellness Arena a few years ago, it is hard to stop calling it the Bi-Lo Center.

2. High school dance pictures were taken in Falls Park.

With beautiful greenery and a waterfall, Falls Park was always the perfect spot to take pictures on homecoming or prom night.

3. Haywood Mall was your hangout spot.

Whether it was a weekend or a day off from school, chances are you gathered up your friends and went to Haywood Mall.

4. You had a date at the Hollywood 20 movie theater.

Since it has a prime spot on Woodruff Road near many restaurants, the Hollywood 20 theater, now called Regal Cinemas 20, was the perfect date or hangout spot with friends.

5. Woodruff Road made you want to pull your hair out.

Woodruff Road is famous for being incredibly busy. Chances are, you have been stopped in traffic on Woodruff at some point.

6. You attended a festival downtown

Whether it was Artisphere, Fall for Greenville or even the downtown Saturday market, you probably went to a festival downtown at least once.

The Peace Center is attracts amazing broadway plays, musicals and ballets every year.

8. No matter how much say you don't like it, you actually love it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
