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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
