Ahh, the good ol' Land of 10,000 Lakes, where the summers are hot and humid and the winters are deathly cold. If you've lived here all of your life like I have, or even if you've been here for just one round of all four seasons, this will definitely make you shake your head and chuckle in agreement.

It gets really cold. I am currently looking at the weather forecast while typing this--because that's what us Minnesotans do. The high for Sunday is -6. Yep. Negative six, six below zero, however you want to read it. It may not seem that bad, until you throw in the 10 mile per hour wind and a wind chill of -38. Fun times.

Your car is consistently being buried in snow. If there's a snow storm coming, you just know that thing is gonna be covered in at least three inches of snow by morning. Shaving off fifteen minutes to your daily routine just to have enough time to clear off and warm up your car is a seasonal occurrence.

You're constantly saying "Oofda!" This might not be true for everyone, but the further north in this great state you go, the more chances you'll have of hearing it--and maybe even picking up on it.

On the other hand, it also gets really hot. Spend one year up here and anyone will realize that Minnesota is the most bipolar state on the planet. One day its 65 degrees and sunny and two weeks later its 21 degrees and feels like 5 below (okay that might be a little exaggerated but you get my point).

As much as you complain about it, you still love it. Yes, it sucks living in a place where the air hurts your face, but anyone with a sane mind would probably take that over finding giant ass spiders and scorpions in their basement. Right? Right.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
