You Might Be From Wellington If...
http://wellingtonohio.com/

Some people may claim Wellington to be their home, but for many of us true Wellingtonians, we all share a common background. There are many things that make us who we are, whether it was our love of small town Friday nights, our love of summer days at the rec park, or both. Wellington has a place in all of our hearts, even if you’re one of those who are desperately seeking to get out. If you are a true Wellington native, this list should will take you on a trip right down memory lane.

You're probably from Wellington if:

1. You drove your tractor to school at least once.

2. You shot a 3 point shot at halftime of a Dukes basketball game.

3. You walked laps at the Lorain County Fair with your friends.

4. You had an Oh Boy at the fair and ate it on the tractors by the gate.

5. You attended a football game and had chocolate-covered Oreos or pretzels.

6. You were told that front row is only for seniors in the student section.

7. You graduated with at least one Farago.

8. You scavenged for items at home to take in for WEE (Winter Educational Event).

9. You struggled to pass Conklin’s English class.

10. You’ve attended a combine derby.

11. You joined FFA because your friends talked you into it.

12. You stopped for a coffee at Bread-n-Brew.

13. You played for hours trying to win tickets at the East of Chicago arcade.

14. You have waited in traffic for 20 minutes because of a train.

15. You spent half your summer at the rec park, because that’s where everyone was.

16. You voted for the levy every year, every single year (and it finally passed.)

17. You've fallen down the stairs or off the gym floor at McCormick (RIP McCormick).

18. You’ve seen the cops drive by at night and thought “They’re probably going to Mosey.”

19. You've slipped on the greasy floors of town hall.

20. You had Big Dog’s cater your grad party.

21. You had your high school reunion at Fort’s or the fairgrounds.

22. You thought that Nike socks and flip flops was actually a style.

23. You went to PSR with half of your graduating class.

24. You’ve attended Wellington star or participated in it.

We may not all have gotten along in grade school, high school, or even now, but there is one thing that undoubtedly made us who we are today, Wellington, Ohio. Never forget your roots, because I guarantee they are the most fertilized, plowed, and deep. This is just a small list of the things that made us who we are.

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.

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.
