- Riding backroads is considered a date. When there's nothing in your town to do, riding backroads is the go-to plan. Turn your music up and enjoy the ride. It's really not as bad as it sounds.
- Everybody knows everything about everybody. If you think you have secrets, you're wrong.
- If you walk into the basketball game with someone of the opposite sex, be prepared to be the talk of the town. You're family will have your wedding planned by that night.

- Your Nana informs you that the boy you have a crush on is actually your third cousin.

- High School dating is awkward because there's a good chance their ex is one of your friends.
- If someone is sick or in the hospital, you best believe they'll be on every prayer list in the town.

- The only traffic you'll run into is if you get stuck behind a tractor on the highway.
- Cops pull you over because they're bored and have nothing else to do.
- Your town is your family. No matter where you go or what you do in life, you'll always have a huge support system back at home. My roots run deep in my small town, and I am forever thankful.
