Everyone is proud of the state they're from, but there is no prouder resident than Ohioans. Ohioans have a very strong sense of pride. No matter where you may move or travel to, Ohio will always hold a special in our hearts. Here are some signs you may be from Ohio.


1. One word: Cornhole

It is not called beanbag toss. It is THE game perfect for tailgates.

2. You're used to cheering for bad professional sports teams.

The Cleveland Browns haven't had a consistent winning season since the 1990s.

3. You experience four seasons in one day.

It's not uncommon to have your A/C and heat on in the same day. It can go from 60 degrees and sunny to a blinding snowstorm.

4. You've experienced real humidity.


You've never experienced real humidity until you've been to Ohio in the summer. It is relentless and has you begging for a rain storm to break the humidity.

5. You're taught from a young age voting is important.

Ohio is a swing state that has often been the deciding vote in some presidential elections.

6. County fairs are a go-to event in the summer.


7. You automatically respond with I-O when someone shouts O-H.

This ritual seems to scare the people from other states.

8. Dodging potholes in the winter become a game of MarioKart.

Winter brings potholes big enough to swallow a car.

9. People tell you you have an accent.


10. It is not called soda.

A carbonated beverage is called pop.

11. Cornfields are part of your everyday landscape.

13. Hitting a deer while driving doesn't just happen in the movies.

They come out of nowhere.

14. Buckeyes are a type of candy.

15. We know "The Jake" is not actually a person.

Home of the Cleveland Indians.

No matter where you may end up, Ohio will always be your home.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
