Sharon, CT -
There are more cows than people.
The regional high school covers 6 towns but has only 600 students.
Those 600 students are a glorious amalgamation of farmers and hippies. I am at neither end of the spectrum, but I am closer to the hippie end than the farmer end.
It is not unusual for the halls of my high school to smell like cow manure and gasoline, with a slight hint of patchouli (hippies).
Our senior prank consisted of letting sheep, horses and cows loose in senior courtyard.
Downtown Sharon consists of Trotta's grocery store, the pharmacy, the Country Corner Restaurant, and the Xtramart (where all the underage kids go to smoke).
My eighth grade graduating class had only 34 kids in it.
96% of my high school is white. I think there is a total of maybe 2 black kids in our whole entire school.
In summertime, Sharon's population explodes due to the influx of city people.
I laugh when I see people acting like Sharon is fashionable because it is so "cute and quaint".
If you are under the age of eighteen, and you are seen walking through downtown Sharon, you are given dirty looks by everyone driving by in their cars because they think you are up to no good.
The nearest shopping mall is an hour away.
I have to travel at least 20 minutes to visit most of my friends' houses (haha Kent kids).
Steel toed boots and cowboy hats are cool.
I can laugh at just about any redneck joke because I will know exactly what it means.
oh yeah, I forgot to add... my dad, my brothers, and I were all born in the same hospital.... in Sharon, CT.
