4. You used to drag "main."
5. You said the 'f' word and your parents knew within the hour.
6. You schedule parties around the schedule of different police officers, since you know which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't (same goes with the game warden).

8. You could never buy cigarettes because all the store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old they'd tell your parents anyhow).

11. It was cool to date someone from the neighboring town.
12. You had senior skip day.
13. The whole school went to the same party after graduation.

15. You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend or boyfriend).
16. Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.
17. You think kids that ride skateboards are weird.
18. The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty", but is actually just like your town.

25. Directions are given using "the" stop light as a reference.
26. Your letter jacket was worn after your 19th birthday.
27. You have ever taken a trailer or dog to school on a daily basis.
28. Weekend excitement involves a trip to a Wal-Mart.
29. Even the ugly people enter beauty pageants.
