11 Things Wisconsinites Are Proud To Love

As Wisconsinites, we like to think our world revolves around more than just beer, cheese and Green Bay Packer football. However, what could possibly be so wrong about being known for three of the best things on the planet? When a Wisconsin native loves something, they love it with a passion. And we sure are passionate about a lot of things.

1. Supper Clubs

Supper clubs may be Wisconsin's idea of "fine dining", yet we have no problem with that. If you find yourself at a Wisconsin supper club, you can look forward to a great meal, complete with a salad bar and a Brandy Old-Fashioned.

2. Going "up north"

The perfect vacation for a Wisconsinite? A quick trip up to the cottage, most likely located in northern Wisconsin, such as Eagle River or Minocqua. A weekend at the cottage means rides on the pontoon, swimming in the lake, and s'mores over the campfire at night.

3. Tailgating

It doesn't matter the weather or the sport, Wisconsinites love to tailgate. Whether it's a Packer game, Badger game or a third grade little league tournament. tailgating is a necessity.

4. Wearing camouflage regularly.

In Wisconsin, camo is not only worn in the woods during hunting season. It's seen as fashionable to some Wisconsinites and as acceptable daily clothing.

5. Listening to country music.

Some love it and some hate it, yet Wisconsin is home to a bunch of country music festivals that take place in the summertime, most of them are composed of a stage in the middle of a field but we love it.

6. Green Bay Packer Football.

Yes, we love our beloved Packers and there's no doubt in our minds that we are America's favorite team.

7. Having cookouts.

One of Wisconsin native's favorite summer traditions is firing up the grill and having friends and family over for some brats and potato salad. There's a designated "grill master", usually a dad, who takes way too much pride in his grilling, but we don't mind.

8. Going to a fish fry on Friday nights.

If you're headed out for dinner on a Friday night, chances are you're going to one of the million restaurants in Wisconsin that serves a fish special once a week, with coleslaw on the side.

9. Attending The Wisconsin State Fair.

Whether you make the trip to Milwaukee each August for the carnival rides or the deep fried food, the state fair is a favorite summer destination for many Wisconsinites.

10. Cheese.

Sometimes, we just have to accept the stereotype, because there's no one in Wisconsin who doesn't like cheese. It doesn't matter if it's the finest aged cheddar or a small order of cheese curds from Culver's. Cheese is great and there's no denying it.

11. Summerfest.

We're proud to host the world's largest music festival every summer in Milwaukee, located right near Lake Michigan.

12. Being a Wisconsinite.

Despite the stereotypes created by those not lucky enough to live in this great state, we love the precious cheese-loving, beer-drinking, football cheering state we call home.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."
