Minnesota is a land of diverse, interesting, and 'different' people. Truly a diamond in the rough (or Midwest...), there are a few things all Minnesotans can agree on.

1. The State Fair is the greatest event held each year

Come here to find your favorite foods (on a stick), get a henna, and relish in all things Minnesota.

2. The name 'Land of 10,000 Lakes' is incredibly misleading


There are actually 11,842 lakes in Minnesota, and we're incredibly proud of each and every one.

3. Nothing is harder than being a fan of Minnesota sports teams

We can just never win...

4. Wisconsin is our sworn enemy

Nothing fills me with rage quite like Cheeseheads.

5. You won't find anywhere more gorgeous

A picture is worth a thousand words...

6. Minnesota is home to tons of quirky, cool things

Whether you're in the mood to visit a 'life-size' Paul Bunyan statue, the world's largest ball of twine, or the world's largest boot, Minnesota is the place to go.

7. Our accents are nothing like the people in "Fargo"

As hilarious as the accent is portrayed here, it's highly inaccurate.

8. Going 'up north' means an incredible trip to the cabin

There's no better way to relax than at the cabin.

9. It's 'pop,' not soda

10. A favorite childhood game is 'Duck, Duck, Grey Duck'

What do geese have to do with it?

11. There is simply no place like home

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
