8 Signs You're From Chanhassen, MN

Chanhassen, Minnesota. A beautiful town, made up of about 24,500 people, located in the western part of the state. If you're from Chanhassen, or attended school there, you can probably relate to these eleven signs that you're from "Chanhappening."

1. You either attended Chanhassen High School, or know someone that has/does.

You know that although your mascot isn't that intimidating (I mean, c'mon... the Storm?), you'll always root for your team, whether it be in football, or in speech.

2. You've told everyone that visited that Prince's recording studio was based in Chanhassen.

And you know that rumor has it that when it's lit up in purple lights, Prince is home.

3. When you try to tell people where Chanhassen is, you automatically say "there's a dinner theatre there!"

If they don't know what the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre is, they won't know where Chanhassen is.

4. You live for the rivalry between Chanhassen and Chaska.

Even though we're in the same district, the rivalry is enormous, and Chaska vs. Chanhassen games are always packed.

5. You, or someone you know, has been featured in the local newspaper, the Chanhassen Villager.

A classic small town newspaper, it's as charming and informative about your neighbors as it can get.

6. You've been to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and just refer to it as "the Arboretum" now.

Your parents have probably dragged you here more than a few times to go on walks with them, and admire the foliage.

7. You've told people all about the local cult, Eckankar, and have shown them the golden pyramid located in the center of Chanhassen.

"Did you know that they think that Chanhassen is the center of the universe?"

8. Even though it's hard to live in suburban Chanhassen sometimes, it's your home.

And you love it.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
