1.     The options for what to do off campus are pretty limited.

2.     There isn’t much shopping, but at least there’s a Target.

3.     You frequently order from your favorite online websites for this reason.

4.     There are only two bars and the door guy knows you by name.

5.     The two local liquor stores probably also know you by name.

6.     Sonic opening was one of the most exciting things to happen to you this year.

7.     You have a car, but you don’t use it often because there isn’t really anywhere to go.

8.     If you do want to go to a grocery store you need your car though, because nothing is within walking distance.

9.     You know you could take the bus to some places but it takes way too long and is a little too complicated.

10.   Even driving isn’t worth it sometimes.

11.   If you don’t have a car trying to get home is the worst. Do you take a bus or a train or have to beg your parents to come get you?

12.   When someone asks where you go to school you most likely say the closest city nearby because no one has heard of your school’s town.

 

Despite the fact that you go to college in such a small town you still love everything about it and wouldn’t change it for the world.
