ETA: Yikes! If my child ever said that, I might have to set her priorities straight.

1st thing: There's a town in GA named "Social Circle"???

2nd: I agree the picture doesn't do these young ladies justice....

Trust me, those girls did not look like they were 18. I had to see them when I was helping out my chapter and I was like holy monkey balls, these girls look way older than their real age! This was the biggest group Georgia has faced (1300 girls). I have to admit, all the girls were basically the same..I was like wow..unbelievable. But, instead of the rude snotty ones, they are pretty much nice.

Were they wearing too much makeup? It's hard to tell from the picture.

As crazy as it may seem, I didn't think they were wearing alot of makeup. It was so freakin hot. It's just crazy to see that the new generation is looking older i guess.

Oh my gosh! I know one of the girls in the pic! And, yes, girls do look much older nowadays! Haven't quite figured out why though.

I've always found that kids who went to private schools generally tend to look older than ones to went to public schools. Never figured out why though.

Maybe they go to the tanning beds too much. But that is a whole another debate

Its funny that this topic was raised. This week at work I've been looking at alot of the old pictures and composites from the 60s and 80s and I kept thinking about how much older they looked than the women attending college today....it could be all of that big hair and hairspray of the 60s and 80s.

Yes. Which is why we don't look older when we get older, cause we always looked like that

At least that's not as bad as Bumpass, VA which used to send my kids in fits of giggles when we saw the road sign. It happens to be near Big Butte Mtn.

I grew up in Monroe!!! About 8 miles from Social Circle!!!

Social Circle is a small town located about 50 miles east of Atlanta. Population is approx. 4000 and rapidly growing due to the urban sprawl. We are a community proud of its history and are actively seeking ways to maintain our small town atmosphere and accommodate the growth.

Of course, I also lived about 6 miles from Between, Georgia.

Monroe Area Comphrensive High School
Go Canes!!
(We were the 1st class to go 4 years as MACHS..but they dropped the "C" on the new high school.)

(I can't remember if Between even has a stop light, lol. BTW, there's a new book out called "Between, Georgia" by Josilyn Jackson. It's fiction. She came up with the name because she used to go to UGA and she liked the name.)

Okay...back to Athens
