Ohioans. We do some strange things that we don't realize we do until we move states or our non-Ohio friends point it out. We are proud of these odd things and do them with pride. We're known for many firsts, many weird buildings, the "Hell is Real" sign and of course the Three Big C's: Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. You are sure to find potholes, bipolar weather, and cornfields no matter what time of year you visit. Aside from being known for presidents, astronauts, firsts, etc., we are also known for our weird lingo, sports teams, and strange habits.

Potholes

Driving on the freeway is like playing Mario Kart.

Construction

It's sad when there's more orange cones than people in one state.

Four seasons in one day

We've literally been under a level 2 snow emergency with flash flood warnings, don't test us.

Outlet malls

You get excited when an outlet mall opens near your hometown.

Buckeyes fans

They're EVERYWHERE! You root for the Bucks even if you didn't go to OSU.

Lebron James

You either want to cheer or vomit when you hear his name.

North or South

By the lake (north) or by the river (south).

Extreme cold/heat

School has been canceled for extreme cold or extreme heat.

You measure distance in minutes

I learned that Kentuckians think I'm weird for doing this along with all other non-Ohioans.

Ā Deer season

We think it is and treat it like a national holiday.

Ā Corn hole

It is without a doubt at every outdoor occasion.

Ā State or county fairs

You've been to a state or county fair at least once in your life.

Ā O-H

I-O! If you know, you know.

Ā Living near a university or college

Everyone lives 30 minutes from one.

Ā You think every pro-football team wears orange

Bengals or Browns baby!

Ā Corn fields

You can see one, are in walking distance or have one in your backyard.

Ā Ohio references

You get really excited when a movie or TV show references Ohio.

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, Iā€™m sure youā€™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 classā€™ 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!
