8 Signs You're From Chanhassen, MN

Chanhassen, Minnesota. A beautiful town, made up of about 24,500 people, located in the western part of the state. If you're from Chanhassen, or attended school there, you can probably relate to these eleven signs that you're from "Chanhappening."

1. You either attended Chanhassen High School, or know someone that has/does.

You know that although your mascot isn't that intimidating (I mean, c'mon... the Storm?), you'll always root for your team, whether it be in football, or in speech.

2. You've told everyone that visited that Prince's recording studio was based in Chanhassen.

And you know that rumor has it that when it's lit up in purple lights, Prince is home.

3. When you try to tell people where Chanhassen is, you automatically say "there's a dinner theatre there!"

If they don't know what the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre is, they won't know where Chanhassen is.

4. You live for the rivalry between Chanhassen and Chaska.

Even though we're in the same district, the rivalry is enormous, and Chaska vs. Chanhassen games are always packed.

5. You, or someone you know, has been featured in the local newspaper, the Chanhassen Villager.

A classic small town newspaper, it's as charming and informative about your neighbors as it can get.

6. You've been to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and just refer to it as "the Arboretum" now.

Your parents have probably dragged you here more than a few times to go on walks with them, and admire the foliage.

7. You've told people all about the local cult, Eckankar, and have shown them the golden pyramid located in the center of Chanhassen.

"Did you know that they think that Chanhassen is the center of the universe?"

8. Even though it's hard to live in suburban Chanhassen sometimes, it's your home.

And you love it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

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!
