Whether you hate it or love it, there are some undeniable things that happen when you grow up in a small town. You may have thought all the quirky things you grew up doing were unique to only your town, but its not a lot of small towns, especially small southern towns share a lot of activities in common with each other. So here are some things that you might have done if you're from a small town.

1. You might be from a small town if:

you have to list at list three other cities to explain where you live, when you're meeting someone new. Literally you'll get down to cities that aren't even that close to your town just to try to give them an idea of what part of the state you live in.

2. You might be from a small town if:

you seriously know everyone's family before you even get to know them. Everyone is related to everyone in someway in a small town, and because of that everyone knows each other even if you haven't met them in person.

3. You might be from a small town if:

the first thing someone asks you is what church you go to. Not sure if it's a southern thing but people ask it all the time, especially parents and grandparents, for whatever reason it is an important thing to some people.

4. You might be from a small town if:

on Friday and Saturday nights everybody drives to the biggest city close by to go cruising. Seriously everyone will load up in their cars and trucks filled with their friends and drive down a road and turn around and do it all night long.

5. You might be from a small town if:

everybody camped out and celebrating when the Walmart came to town. Seriously it was pandemonium opening day of the Walmart, now instead of driving 20 minutes down the road to the next town over to go get cheap groceries and house products.

6. You might be from a small town if:

anytime you try to go to the grocery store you see at lease 5 people you know and get trapped talking for what feels like hours. You find out quickly to never go out in your sweats because you'll see everyone you know and have to talk to them.

7. You might be from a small town if:

people camped out and went absolutely crazy when the McDonald's came into town. I'm not even kidding people camped out in tents the day before the grand opening and the line was obnoxiously long for about a month until the hype died down.

8. You might be from a small town if:

you went to the rec center for any end of school party. You didn't just ride their every year, you walked there from school with your whole class and teachers to the center.

9. You might be from a small town if:

there's more people your parents age at the high school football games than there are student in the stands. High school football is huge to small towns, and everyone you know will be at a Friday night home game.
