Morgantown is a college town that is forever growing. Some of us are even lucky enough to be born and raised here. Here are 20 signs you grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia!
Chances are you knew every word to “Country Roads” and knew exactly who Dana Holgorson was at a pretty young age. “Football season” and “basketball season” replace the words “fall” and “winter” around here.
Okay, this one isn’t a fact, but it’s something that is taught to most of us at a very young age.
This is especially true if you went to one of the local high schools in Morgantown. MHS and UHS rivalry games were always something to look forward to, no matter what sport. Even the bands are competitive!
Being that there’s one every two miles in this town, Sheetz is a happy place for many of the people in Morgantown. Whether you’re stopping in for a snack between classes or a pick-me-up at 3am, Sheetz has it all.
This happened once in middle school, but we will never forget it. We got out two hours early because they were afraid of the game day traffic.
You’ll always remember to pack an umbrella and to check the weather the night before. Nobody can really keep up with the temperatures though.
Residents will always talk about how great it is when the students aren’t around. Traffic is almost nonexistent, high school kids don’t have to struggle to find jobs
Most of the time it’s family members who are coming in to visit who complain the most. It’s normally the traffic and the number of pedestrians that really aggravate people.
Whether it was a summer camp or with family and friends, you’ve probably spent plenty of time climbing the rocks. Everyone knows that Ravens Rock and the overlook are the best places to visit here, so if you’re new to the area, check them out!
No, we don’t run over people and steal money. But, with all the pedestrians and pot holes we face in a day, every time behind the wheel is like a video game.
This is how most people get around after school or work. Knowing your way around town and around the gravel roads really helps when you’re in a hurry to get home.
Most people in Morgantown are easy to get along with. It’s rare when you find someone who won’t say a word to you while you’re waiting in line at the grocery store. Whether it’s a simple chat about weather or sports, almost everyone is willing to talk.
No one ever said there was much to do here. We all know the mall is a popular hang out, but not after the age of thirteen.
These are the best places to have birthday parties, hands down.
Any kid from Morgantown will tell you that snow days are hard to predict. Even when it’s obvious there should be one, that doesn’t always happen. Kids in town are familiar with walking through inches of snow just to catch the bus. Thanks, Frank.
Believe it or not, many people have pets named after WVU football players.
Who doesn’t love a new place to eat? People in Morgantown really do, since we only really have McDonalds and Burger King most of the time. The new Popeyes in Sabraton was crowded for WEEKS.
You can’t escape the excitement and energy at a WVU football game. There are really no words to describe the spirit that takes place in this stadium, but everyone who has been to a game knows exactly what it’s like.
Morgantown has a bad rep sometimes. With all the partying from WVU, some people can get the wrong idea. However, the real residents know the truth.
Some people might leave and say they’ll never come back. But you know that when you’re gone, you will always return to your home among the hills.
