20 Mouthwatering Iowa State Fair Foods You Have To Try At Least Once
Iowa State Fair

As a proud Iowan, I have attended the Iowa State Fair since I can remember. I either knew someone showing cattle or had family who owned a food station. I've ridden rides, flew down the giant slide, and avoided the snake exhibit with success. Some of my fondest memories come from the Iowa State Fair.

My favorite thing about the ISF is sharing the experience with my favorite people. This year some friends and I went on a mini road trip to the lovely Iowa State Fair with hopes of conquering the lists we made of foods we wanted to try.

While we didn't get to eat all of these foods, I have at some point or another, and I believe they are the greatest part of the fair. Please try not to drool while you enjoy my top 20 food items you have to try at the Iowa State Fair!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
