I love my hometown; I really do, but sometimes there are situations that people 100% overreact to or are completely amazed by that make zero sense in the grand scheme of life, so here are a few of those circumstances.

1. The new seats at the movie theater.

Okay, I get it; the seats are amazing. Have you ever sat in a Lazy-Boy before? It's equally amazing, and you can use it multiple times for free at home in front of whatever movie you want in that moment.

2. Pizza Place isn't that great.

I'm not saying it's bad by any means; it is relatively decent pizza, but it's expensive and loaded with grease. So,if you have a desire to die by 30, eat it every day of the week after school. It is, in fact, across from both high schools, so you should eat there five days a week for four years.

3. The rivalry gets old after high school.

Sure when you're 18, it's fun to go to the rivalry games with your friends and whatnot, but once you hit 19, and you're out on your own, it's not really an important thing anymore. Okay, so someone lives on the southside. Oooooh. You can't talk to them if you're from North End. Shut up. That's ridiculous as an adult.

4. You're from West Virginia, but don't act like you're from South West Virginia; you're not.

Parkersburg is a pretty city-like town. I will never understand the girls who wear cowboy boots to go to the mall.

5. Sno Biz is amazing, but it's just snow cones.

I'll probably get a lot of crap on this one because Sno Biz is truly amazing, but guys, it's just ice with syrup. Totally something everyone could make at home, but I know I'll keep spending money on it.

So yeah. My hometown is a pretty basic place, but people take things out of proportion when they aren't really that exciting of things.
