Growing up in a small town,Watch Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Online leaving said small town, and then having to explain where you're from to curious people you encounter for the rest of your life is exhausting.
Sure, people are mostly familiar with the 50 states, but when someone asks "Where are you from?" they usually want specifics like towns, noteworthy landmarks nearby, etc.
Trying to explain geography to someone completely unfamiliar with an area is tough, and finally, Twitter users have found a way to accurately illustrate the frustration associated with describing your place of origin.
Behold: The hometown meme.
SEE ALSO: Who needs to labels when we have 'I am straight/gay/bi' memes?The meme is simple. First, you pose the dreaded question: "Where are you from?" Then, answer with the appropriate state, and watch as you fall into the inevitable hometown trap.
After unsuccessfully explaining where you grew up, you give into the pressure. In a desperate attempt to end the conversation, you wind up saying you live near the most well known town/landmark in your state and are related to a famous resident.
Take Connecticut, for example. Not everyone knows where Wallingford is, so sometimes you just have to lie and say you grew up a hop, skip, and jump away from good old Yale University.

If Twitter has taught us anything it's that state-related memes are very relatable, and we all need to start looking at maps.
