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.

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!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
