20 Signs You're From Wisconsin

From someone who grew up in Wisconsin, I can tell you there are not people who are more die hard Green Bay Packer fans or Badger fans. People bleed green and gold and red and white year round. Typically Wisconsinites are made fun of in movies but that doesn't affect us. We embrace it. Here are 20 things you will understand if you come from Wisconsin.

1. Happy cows come from Wisconsin NOT California.

2. You can't resist dancing to "Jump Around."

3. You get stuck behind a tractor quite frequent during planting and harvest season.

4. You can't believe other states don't have Culvers.

5. It must be -40 degrees with two feet of snow before they cancel school.

6. People take Friday Fish Fry very seriously.

7. You know how to pronounce Waukesha, Menomonie, Oconomowoc, Wauwatosa, Mukwonago, and Ashwaubenon.

8. When half the class is gone, you know it's hunting season.

9. You know what a "bubbler" is.

10. Squeaky cheese curds are the best cheese curds.

11. In 50 degree weather people are breaking out their shorts and sandals.

12. You've tried on a cheese head at least once in your life.

13. You're not a fan of our neighbors to the south.

14. Summer is spent on the lake or at various festivals/fairs.

15. We love our beer!

16. It's not weird to see mounted deer on walls in people's houses.

17. The Wisconsin Dell's is the best summer vacation.

18. The state fair is the most anticipated event of the summer.

19. You get excited when Wisconsin is mentioned in movies.

20. You'll always be a Wisconsinite no matter where you live.

Even after all of this, you wouldn't trade it for the world. No matter what you will always leave part of your heart in Wisconsin.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
