Living in Indiana has its pros and cons, that's for sure. Some people think that it seems like the worst place to live, but is it really that bad? You can be the judge of that based on this list!

1. Lots of small towns.

Most of these are small farming towns. Indiana is known best for one thing: corn. There are cornfields almost everywhere, except for the few urban areas.

2. Brutal winters.

Winter here sucks. There's no light way to put it. Yeah, playing in the snow is great when you're a kid, but it gets old after a while.

3. Weather's always changing.

It could be 80 degrees and sunny one day and 50 and raining the next. The weather in Indiana just can't ever seem to decide what it wants to do.

4. Close to big cities.

Many areas in Indiana are driving-distance away from the bigger cities in surrounding states, like Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Detroit. And of course there's Indianapolis.

5. No one comes here.

This goes with the previous one. If you want to go see your favorite singer or any celebrity who might be touring the country, you have to drive a few hours to get to a city where they'll be performing.

6. Seasons.

As opposed to some states where it seems like there aren't any seasons, Indiana almost has a different season every week! It's especially bad for allergies in the spring and fall.

7. Republicans.

Indiana is usually a Republican state in elections. Our Governor is Republican, and so are most of the members of the General Assembly. If you're a Republican, this is great for you. Most other people that live here share your views. But for anyone else, it might not be too great. Our state also usually isn't too important in Presidential elections, so we usually don't see many candidates in our areas (refer to #5).

8. Great for road trips.

Since many things are located far away from a city where you may live, you have plenty of opportunities to grab your friends and drive.

9. Big colleges.

Indiana is known for some of their colleges, like Notre Dame, IU, and Purdue. Students who graduate from high school in Indiana don't always have to worry about travelling out of state to get their degree from a big-name school, and they can still have the college experience by living on campus.

10. Corn mazes.

Since there's corn everywhere, there are plenty of opportunities for corn mazes! Corn mazes are a great way to keep the kids entertained in the late summer and fall. Some farmers get pretty creative with their maze designs.

11. No alcohol on Sundays.

Yes, Indiana is one of the few states where you're still not allowed to buy alcohol on Sundays. If you like buying alcohol on Sundays, you'll hate it here. Make sure to stock up on Saturday.
