8 Signs You're From Ohio
Defensive Driving Advice

Sometimes there are just some definitive traits that show you're definitely from Ohio and you didn't even realize that you do or have them. Here is a list of a few things you might subconsciously do if you're from the best state in America- Ohio!

1. You Probably Say You're From Cleveland, Columbus Or Cincinnati

When people ask you where you are from you probably say one of the big cities in Ohio, lets face it- nobody knows where Amherst, Ohio is unless they are from there or right around there. This is just the easier way to do it.

2. If You Say You Go To College In Ohio, Most Will Assume That You Mean THE Ohio State University

This is always so annoying. I go to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio- thank you very much.

NOT

3. Chances Are Your High School Probably Had A "Bring Your Tractor To School Day"

If you're from a small town in Ohio, you most likely had this at your high school- whether you actually brought a tractor, or despised this day because you couldn't find a parking spot in the entire parking lot that day.


4. If You Are Actually From Cleveland- Everyone Assumes You Know Everything About Cleveland Sports

This happens quite a bit. Yeah- I get the overall idea of our sport teams, but I do not watch every single game or read every single stat, so if you want to know about the Cavaliers- you should probably just research it for yourself.

5. If You Did Not Grow Up In The Actual Cities Of Columbus, Cleveland Or Cincinnati- You Most Likely Grew Up Across The Street From A Corn Field

This is practically a given in Ohio, just like if you aren't on a major highway, you are traveling down back roads and dirt roads.

6. You Were Born Hating The Entire State of *ichigan

We don't use the M, because it is a curse word in Ohio.

7. You Are VERY Used To Dressing For Every Season- Every Day

In Ohio, you'll wake up and it'll be cold and rainy and sunny and 75 degrees by 2 pm.

8. Lastly, This Is What The Map Of Ohio Really Looks Like


Being from Ohio is definitely a blessing and a curse. All in all I have loved being raised here, from the corny jokes to pronouncing "wash" like "warsh." I have amazing friends and family that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. As much as I would love to live in California or on the west coast, I would miss the ways of life here. I will never take Ohio for granted. Ohio is where I came from. Ohio is home.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
