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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
