14 Things You Automatically Know When You're From Winnemucca, Nevada
Maclyn Crnkovich
  1. Everyone knows everyone. This has its pros and cons, depending on how you look at it. Although it is nice to be a part of such a tightly knit community, it is a real bummer when everyone and their grandmas know your business.
  2. If you were born before 2005, you probably still call it “Red Lion” instead of “Winnemucca Inn”
  3. It’s impossible to go to the grocery store without running in to 4 different people you know. There is no such thing as a quick trip.
  4. People who aren’t from Northern Nevada have no idea where this place is, so you just say “It’s two hours north of Reno.”
  5. We probably have some of the prettiest sunsets in the whole world. All of Nevada, actually.
  6. Honestly, no one really ever camped up Water Canyon, but everyone has been there.
  7. If you really want to see a movie the day it is released, you won’t find that here. Damnit, Park Cinemas.
  8. The community is oddly supportive of the one and only Lowry High School. (Go Bucks!)
  9. There’s 3 radio stations, and two of them rarely work. The presets in your car are 92.7, 94.3, and 102.7. Don't argue with me.
  10. There are two types of people; China Garden or Wonderful House.
  11. You probably still call Khoury’s, Albertsons... and Ridley's, Raleys.
  12. When the new four-way stop was put in on Bridge and Haskell, everyone went completely psychotic.
  13. You’re not sure what disgusting mysteries lie within the mighty Humboldt River, but you still swim/float it anyways. Don't ever swallow the water.
  14. You know that wherever you go, you will always rather be here. It's uniqueness grows on you.

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.
