Chances are, if you're from the great state where the wind comes sweeping down the plains (and we do mean sweeping), you've picked up some unique experiences and skills along the way. Whether you're from Slapout (population: 8) or Oklahoma City (population: 631,346), here are some things you can probably relate to.

1.

You're a pro at pronouncing all the town/county names that leave people from other states fumbling. Pottawatomie? Oologah-Talala? Wappanucka? No problem.

2.

Chances are, you're very familiar with the three F's of life: Faith, Family, and Football. Oklahomans live, love, and breathe those Friday night lights.

3.

Speaking of football, you know that one letter can rip apart families and end relationships. That's right. OU or OSU? Grandma may never speak to you again if you make the wrong choice, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

4.

You'd describe your everyday look as "wind-blown."

Don't fight it. Embrace it.

5.

You've seen "Oklahoma!' the musical about a million times in music class (or anywhere else).

"It's a ~*ClaSSiC*~."

6.

And the wavin' wheat sure smells sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain...aaaaand sends you into uncontrollable fits of coughing and watering eyes.

7.

You either love country music, or you'll die trying to find a top hits radio station among the approximately one million country stations. May the odds be ever in your favor, partner.

8.

You refer to Oklahoma City exclusively as "the city."

9.

Your heart says "southern," but the map says "midwestern."

10.

Everybody is an amateur storm tracker. Here in Oklahoma, we don't chase storms, storms chase us. Odds are that you've enjoyed the views of a tornado from the safety (although your mom might argue) of your front porch.

11.

You've most likely been caught behind a tractor on multiple occasions.

*sigh* what're you gonna do?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

12.

People from out of state are always trying to tell you that you have an accent, but you don't. THIS IS HOW NORMAL PEOPLE TALK, DADGUMMIT.

13.

You understand the saying "if you don't like the weather, just wait thirty seconds" on a spiritual level.

Don't even get me started on trying to "dress for the weather."

14.

You will support the Oklahoma City Thunder with your dying breath.

~In Russ We Trust~

15.

You feel as if Kevin Durant's choice to join the Warriors was a personal betrayal.

WHY???????

Too soon? Okay.

16.

Despite its faults, you can't help falling in love with Oklahoma. From its amazing sunsets to the way people come together in the face of adversity, Oklahoma will always hold a little piece of your heart, no matter where you go.
