Life in a small town...
There's a song called "Life in a Northern Town." Although I don't live in the North, it's definitely not like my life now. Neither is the sweet tea drinking, front porch swinging small town South.
My town is not the epitome of enlightenment or fun. It, contrarily, is the epitome of rednecks and ignorance. I have lived here my entire life, less four years at college. No bus system and one cab company, combined with a town sarrounded by bridges and no cross walks, makes for a very difficult life for anyone who cannot drive.
The college I went to was not much better. The nearest town was up the interstate, so no one could walk there no matter whether they could drive or not. It was not a happy existence. Now I'm back in the small town looking for a full time job somewhere other than here. The economy is bad enough and my lack of experience due to not being able to get around in this awful town is not helping. My 3.7 GPA won't help me now.
My goal for the time being is to get a job where I can get around on my own and not have to depend on anyone, or at least not as much. I am an extremely independent-natured person, trapped in a dependent person's body....
