Small Town Blues

Sometimes, I hate living in such a small town. It sucks when you have to drive at least 45 minutes just to go to the mall or do anykind of shopping. When you have to drive 30 miles to buy groceries, life gets a little boring. Driving 10 miles to school one way, every moring, its not exactly the funnest way to start a day out.
Now dont get me wrong, I love my small school and all my friends but sometimes it just makes everything a little more challenging. For instance, the guy you happen to like now, he used to date your best friend last year. Your best friend now was your worst enemy last week. The entire school knows that your boyfriend cheated on you, way before he tells you, and in fact you heard it from your friend who thought you already knew.
Yeah, sometimes life sucks in a small town, but thats before you get to the good stuff. Like, the people you are out with every weekend, they were the same kids you sat around in diapers with at the babysitter's. They went to kindergarten and preschool with you and they are going to be right next to you when you all graduate this spring. When you and your siblings can hang out together because you have the same circle of friends, even if you are three years apart. Yeah, there's no questioning that small town life can be a little bit different, but that is just the way I like it.
