11 Signs You're From Omaha, Nebraska
pinterest.com

Omaha is unlike any place I have ever traveled in the nation. Although I haven't been to all fifty states, I consider my hometown to be one of the best places in the nation and I think a good portion of the population would also agree with me. Omaha, Nebraska is home to over 400,000 people that share some of the same similarities and I've decided to share some of the "signs" you're from Omaha, just in case you forgot.

1. The first thing people ask you when you say you're from Omaha, Nebraska, is "Do you live on a farm?"

It's actually a beautiful city with a population of more than 400,000 people.

2. You don't measure in miles, they measure in time.

If you ask anyone how far away Lincoln is from Omaha, you won't get an answer of about sixty miles, they will tell you about forty-five minutes to an hour because we [almost] all measure in time.

3. We may be having an ice storm of the decade this weekend, but it could be seventy and sunny next week.

4. You see Husker game day is a hallowed event.

5. You have very high expectations for any zoo you visit.

No zoo will ever be as great as the Henry Dorly Zoo, but that's because we already have one of the best and largest. Check the facts here.

6. You play corn hole.

This one is pretty self-explanatory, being from the corn state and all.

7. You prefer Scooters over Starbucks.

8. The farthest you have to drive to the College World Series is twenty minutes.

"Oh wait, that IS in Omaha, isn't it?"

9. You've used wax papers to go down the slides downtown.

... and no matter what age you are, these slides never get old.

10. Temperature Tuesday gave you a reason to be happy about the cold.

The temperature at 6 a.m. would be the price of a Runza (pictured above) for the rest of the day as long as you purchased a medium drink and fry.

11. No matter where you go, you will always love Omaha.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
