How can I think positively about living in a small city?

It's my hick hometown. I moved back here 8 months ago to go to uni, and I have another year and a half to go. I really miss the city. There was much more going on there. It's way more beautiful. There's more diversity there. And I liked the anonymity of living in a city I didn't grow up in. I never ran into people from my past, who asked me what I'm doing with my life and all that awkward stuff. I miss my old roommate.But it's cheaper living here at home. There are some great things about being here -- I have good friends, I have a really cool family. People are more close-knit here. To be honest, I'm less lonely here than I was in the big city. And my school is here. I like being at the university. What are some things I could do to feel less blue about being away from the city? One idea I had was to watch a few movies about quaint little towns ... that might help me romanticize the whole experience here, lol. I could spend lots of time with the good people I know here.

well, i too live in a hick town, and what i do is if i need the city, i go and visit...i like about an hour from a MAJOR city, but only about 20 mins for a small big city...which gets the job done...it has a mall, 2 universities, beautiful downtown, some great places to shop, and several places to hang with friends...i say, take a group of close friends into the city on a friday night, and go to dinner and some movies, and maybe even drive along the strip...

It sound's like where your at is more grounded and has more pro's then con's. Why don't you figure out what your schedule allow's, and on the weekend's or something like that, you go to the city and do whatever you like to do.

Be sweet to the girls and your reputation will spread quickly in a small town. Which means more game for you.Lucky, lucky.
