1. When people ask where you're from, you tell them the closest city.

They've more than likely never heard of your town, but they recognize the towns and cities around you. You'll also more than likely get a couple confused looks.

2. It's normal to drive 20-30 minutes to get to town, a grocery store, or a restaurant.

3. You expect to meet someone you know when going out for dinner, running to the post office, or going anywhere.


4. It doesn't even bother you when you're slowed down by a tractor or horse and buggy.


5. It's Friday night and you're trying to make plans with your friends . . . y'all usually end up going to a fast food place for dinner and Wal-Mart.


6. When giving directions it usually goes like "Turn right at the golf course, make a left at the rock pile, and we're the first house on the left."


7. You've been late, along with half the town, because of a train.


8. When you see someone you know, you either wave like a crazy person, or try to avoid having a 30 minute conversation.



9. Everyone looks forward to Friday night football.


10. Last but not least, you graduated with almost everyone you went to Pre-K with.

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.

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.
