 Wolfeboro is a unique town that is filled with many hidden treasures and adventures. However, if you live in this town you know some things to be true.

Tourist: Our Worst Nightmare

Tourists clog up the streets and sidewalks of our beloved little town. They take all the seats at our favorite restaurants and you can usually spot them a mile away. You have to be nice to them because if you work at a small business, they do make sure we have a paycheck at the end of each week.

HUCKS HOAGIES

I don't believe this needs an introduction.

Everybody Knows Everybody

This small little town has the scoop on just about everybody. You can't do anything without your dentist's sister hearing about it. You might as well give your journal to the Granite State Newspaper.

Lack of Diversity

The most diveristy Wolfeboro gets is when they get an exchange student at Kingswood or the kids from Brewster Academy roll in at the beginning of the school year. Wolfeboro is a white town, almost whiter than Snow White herself. So when you go south or just about anywhere else, you get a major culture shock.

Small Town Businesses

Wolfeboro doesn't have any chained restaurants in the area (Besides Dunkin Donuts, but we all run on Dunkin's). That doesn't stop this small town from having all types of great food from El Centenario's to Sea Bird's Asian Cuisine. Plus you have 10+ places to choose from for pizza.

"The top of the hill"

This is the intersection where Route 28 meets Main Street right in between Three Sisters Country Store and the Corner Store. You swear you've almost died twice when trying to get onto Main Street because the town refuses to put a traffic light in this town, even if it is to save the life of the civilians. It's almost got a line a mile long during the summer and in the morning on your way to work/school. Good thing you know every back road to avoid it.

Kingswood Vs. Brewster

If you went to high school, you would know that you have the option of potentially choosing from two different schools to attend. There is the public school known as Kingswood Regional High School (AKA Kingsweed. Motto: Where the grades are low, and the students are high) or, the prep school known as Brewster Academy. Either are fine choices to attend. However, if you were a basketball star you went to Brewster and if not... well welcome to Kingswood.

The Turn At Weston Auto Body

YOU DON'T NEED A BLINKER IF YOU'RE CONTINUING ON THE ROAD. Enough said.

Bailey's Bubble

If you're an ice-cream lover, well this is the place to be in town. You refuse to go to any other ice-cream place because Bailey's is just the best all around. There's never a day where the line isn't longer than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Mt. Washington Boat

The boat you can usually hear before you see. This boat is parked at the Wolfeboro Town Docks and is an iconic piece of what makes Wolfeboro what it is. You've had many field trips on this boat and most likely had your prom on it.

Seasons

Wolfeboro is all around beautiful. It has a unique look during every season. The summers are filled with blue skies and green grass. Autumn comes and the trees have never looked so gorgeous. Winter is a treat as you look over the iced over lake as the snow falls down upon you and Spring is even better because you know summer is right around the corner.

Celebrities

There isn't a summer that goes by that there isn't a celebrity spotting. Big stars like Adam Sandler, Mitt Romney and, Jimmy Fallon love our little town as much as we do. In fact, either you or a friend have probably served one of them at one point.

Hiking

You've probably climbed Mt Major or Bald Knob at least four times, heck you probably climbed them at night for a real challenge. They may not be exactly in the town of Wolfeboro but, they're close enough nearby.

You Wouldn't Want To Live Anywhere Else

Even after all the endless amounts of times, you screamed at tourists from inside your car as they crossed the crosswalks and rear-ended your car. You love this small little town and, you wouldn't dream of living anywhere else.

Lake Winnipesaukee

The biggest lake in all of New England and were very proud of it

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.
