Everyone always assumes that you're rich.

15 Signs You're From Windham, New Hampshire

We're the definition of a "small town." Here are a few signs you're from Windham, NH.

1. Everyone always assumes that you're rich

Whether you actually are rich or not, you live in one of the wealthiest towns in New Hampshire. So naturally, everyone pretty much assumes that you grew up in a mansion, own two yachts, a vacation house in Florida, and drive a brand new, nice car.

2. Everyone always asks about your brand new high school

It is really great to have such a new high school in our town. We often do take it for granted a lot, but we really do wish we could have a stadium, turf or track added onto our football field.

3. You probably won a state championship in high school.

For being such a new school, Windham has already won over 20 state championships in less than eight years, many different sports teams included.

4. You drive on Route 111 to go literally everywhere

The one road that pretty much connects all of Windham, you probably drive on it like 4-5 times a day.

5. You're sick and tired of construction

It seems like every month they tear up a new road and build a brand new one in pretty much the exact same place, and they've basically made an entirely new 111 by now. This construction that's been going on for years and years has led you to sitting in traffic forever.

6. You've spent countless weekend mornings at MaryAnn's Diner

Being the one and only diner in town, MaryAnn's always hits the spot. The food is absolutely to die for, and totally worth the wait on a busy Saturday morning.

7. You grew up going to the town beach

Even though it's a little beach on a small lake, Cobbett's Pond called for lots of fun on summer days when you were a kid.

8. And you probably went to Griffin Park a lot, too

Whether it was for a sports game or just to play on the playground, Griffin Park was the place to be as a kid. Not to mention Johnson's farm stand right next-door, where you would always get an ice cream and look at try to feed the goats.

9. You've been for many scenic walks along the rail trail

Probably the prettiest spot in Windham, and one of the best places to exercise.

10. Your family probably has a membership to Anytime Fitness

It's pretty much the only gym in town, and you see everybody you know when you go there.

11. Howie's is the only place you ever get gas

Because who wants to pump their own gas in the winter, or really any time at all?

12. Your idea of "going out" is to get food

Because there's literally nothing else to do in this small town, and you probably go to surrounding towns to go to actual restaurants, anyway.

13. You always stop at Dunks to get coffee

With three Dunkin Donuts in Windham, they're pretty much impossible to avoid.

14. Although you do love the Village Bean, too.

Their huge menu of drink choices is the best, and it makes an awesome place to hangout and study too.

15. You always complain about your small town, but in the end, you love the place that you grew up.

There's really no place like Windham.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
