10 Reasons Minnesota Is The Best State

Minnesota, the 32nd state in the United States, has plenty of fun, crazy, classic things to offer. It's a great place to be apart of, that's for sure. Here are some reasons why Minnesota is the best state in the U.S.

1. Fortune 500 Companies


There are 17 fortune 500 companies around the state of Minnesota, which is cool due to job openings.

2. There Are Actually Four Seasons

You get to go apple picking in the fall, sledding in the winter, spring clean in the spring, and unthaw in the summer. Sometimes, if you're lucky enough you can even experience all of them in one day.

3. Lake Life is Amazing

We are considered "The Land of 10,000 Lakes," which means at some point in your life you've probably been able to experience at least one of the clean and clear lakes we have to offer. You can fish, swim, tube, or just relax almost anywhere in Minnesota.

4. Hockey Means the World to Us

Hawkey is a major sport to Minnesotan's lives. We live, breathe, and pledge our allegiance to it.

5. Minnesota Nice is Surley a Thing

We are the nicest people you could ever meet..at least to your face.

6. Mall of America

Mall of American (or MOA to us Minnesotan's) is a big deal to tourists, but it's definitely not to us. It's too packed full of tourists for our liking.

7. Minnesota State Fair

Who doesn't want to participate in 12 days of deep fried foods, rides, concerts and fun? Oh, and there is a giant slide and Sweet Martha's Cookies.

8. We Have Fun Phrases

"Uff da," "you betcha," and "dontcha know."

9. Hotdish

Tater Tot Hotdish. Enough said.

10. Blondes

There are a lot of Scandinavian origins within the state, meaning there are a lot of blonde-haired blue-eyed Minnesotans. Also, blondes do it better.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
