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
