- That guy you’ve been spending all night flirting with? Yeah, he’s probably your cousin.
- You might not know them, but everyone knows you. After all, they were bridge partners with your great-grandmother’s second cousin’s dog walker’s nephew.
- When you return to a normal-sized town, stoplights and even crossing the street become quite confusing.
- There always seems to be more wildlife around than people.
- If you need to go out, but are in a hurry, wear a disguise. Otherwise, you’ll get sucked into a conversation with someone who knows you, and who absolutely needs to tell you that you look just like your eighty-four-year-old grandfather. Thank you?
- Even in a small town, it is still possible to get lost. You take one wrong turn on your way to the ice cream store and next thing you know, you’re in the middle of a parade with no escape except to pull an illegal U-turn.
- You don’t have to worry about dating your friends’ exes; there’s no one else to date.
- If you try to plan anything, just tell people there will be free food. Next thing you know, everyone’s at your place.
- People get REALLY competitive about the Sunday softball leagues. Like, “Let’s recruit our third cousin twice removed who was once a part of a national softball team”-competitive.
- They know how to party. – See more at: http://argosy.ca/article/top-10-things-i-learned-small-towns#sthash.GCvgoXGV.dpuf
About Us
The Argosy is the independent student journal of news, opinion, and the arts. Our content is written, edited, and funded by the students of Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.
I am a fourth-year English major from Halifax, NS. This is my second year as Co-Editor-in-Chief and third year on The Argosy team. The Argosy has been the highlight of my time at Mt. A. I look forward to sharing more stories and making lasting memories with the wonderful team of students at The Argosy this year.
This is my third year with The Argosy and my second editing the Arts and Culture section. From Moncton NB, I study English and drama - aspiring storyteller of SOME kind - and learned how to spell ridiculous three months ago. Say hi and share your story anytime! (She/Her)
As a
news reporter this year I
am excited to learn more
about the people of
Sackville.
Hailing from the majestic Himalayas, I have always been captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the mountains. It is through this admiration that I discovered my profound passion for photography. I am beyond excited to bring my enthusiasm, dedication, and love for capturing moments to The Argosy team.
