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

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
