This made me depressed, and glad I'm living in a city next year.

You Know You're From a Small Town When...

*No social events can be scheduled when the school gym floor is being varnished.

*It was cool to date someone from the neighboring town.
*You had senior skip day.
*The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
*You don't give directions by street names or references (turn by Nelson's house, go two blocks to the Anderson's turn left and it's four houses left of the football field).
*The golf course had only 9 holes.
*You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend.
