stars vs. selection

After staying up at my family's for a week, I've realized I'm definately not a small town girl. I can't stand the drama, or that people know everyone else's business; the fact that everything is based on your last name and how prominent your family was, is, or can be. There are perks to a small town, don't get me wrong, it has its lusters. The fact that you can get a job because you know everyone is definately a plus; and that going to school is not like boarding a place where your bags must be searched and you wanded down. Not to mention that neighborhood violence consists of a tp war between you and other households. Living in a small town does have its advantages, as does living in a more urban area.
A large city is fast paced, technologically advanced, and offers more opportunities. It's a bit more rich, a bit more open to change, a bit more friendly. The odds of seeing someone you know are quite slim and there's a variety in anything and everything. Downsides to a larger town: no where is anywhere near as safe as the small town; larger cities tend to have a substantial increase in the number of crazy drivers; it's a tad more difficult to make the cut in any high school sports teams unless your parents are loaded and are ex- or retired pro-athletes; things tend to be a bit more expensive; and the roads are usually only wide enough to allow a bicycle to pass.
Okay so a larger city probably has more disadvantages, but I'm totally game with that. I would prefer the larguer population that occupies more land mass. I think it would be awesome to meet someone new everyday at school. I wouldn't mind being offered more than just two sports per season; I'd like to get out there, do some swimming, watch some field hockey, get in there. Not only that, but you can be more diverse, thee's more out there than just John Deere tractors and Ford pick ups. There's more ways to get involved in a larger city, more options to consider, more opinions to think about.
I know I want to live in a larger town when I grow up. I wish I would've lived in a larger town as I grew up.
Someday I'll be in NYC :)
No doubt.
