Nine Signs You Grew up in a Small Town

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winona chapter.

1      The population is less than 1,000 people.

2      Your graduating class is less than 40 people.

3      The closest mall is an hour away.

4      Everybody in your class/school is somehow related/knows everyone.

5      You have to combine schools for sports.

6.      Every teacher knows your name, your parents’ names, your siblings’ names, and pretty much everything about you.

7.      The whole town came to Friday night football games.

8. There was a dedicated day to drive your tractor/lawn mower to school.

9. When a sport made it to the state championships, nobody was in school that day.
