Indiana. Home. Home sweet, corn-infested home. There are so many signs that you live in Indiana. These 18 signs you live in Indiana however, are just a few.

1. Hey look! It's a cornfield!

Wow, I never would've guessed.

2. What day is it?

Is the Amish store still open? God bless America and God bless Fountain Acres.

3. Is it cold out?

It was raining five seconds ago and now it's hailing. Don't need a jacket, it'll be scorching in five to 10 minutes.

4. Could this road get any worse?

This statement is the equivalent to saying, "Well, at least it isn't raining," in some kind of cheesy movie. It got worse. So just watch out for that seven-foot deep pot hole up ahead; it'll probably swallow your car whole.

5. There's a redneck on every corner.

Sure there are nice people, but for every nice, sane person there's a guy that had the decency to build a backyard wrestling arena.

6. What do you want to do now? "I don't know, Wal-Mart?"

This is just the reality of living in Indiana. We've eaten already and all the other stores are closed, let's just walk around aimlessly for a good hour and a half.

7. What's outside?

The mosquitoes. Yes. Every summer. They attack. No thank you. I'll swell up and die right outside the door.

8. Kings Island!

What a perfect way to spend summer vacation: in Ohio.

9. "Don't pull a Bob Knight."

Don't touch that chair. Don't even look at it. Just walk away.

10. Everyone knows someone who has hit a deer.

I hit one last week and two of my relatives hit one yesterday. How are they all still alive?

11. Is that the tornado siren?

Yeah, it is. But I'm not going to the basement.

12. "Do you like the Colts?"

Um, yes but I'm a fan of the Broncos too. I mean, I really like the Broncos now.

13. Don't forget the bean bags!

Corn hole is a necessity. I don't care if we're going to a church cook out.

14. "Why is everyone going 20? The speed limit is 45!"

"Oh, it's a tractor. Figures."

15. Get excited. The Indy 500 is coming.

Yay! Move over Nascar!

16. You FLIPPED OUT when that guy from Indiana won a silver medal.

Way to go David Boudia! I can barely walk straight but still, you're awesome.

17. Marching band, marching band!

It doesn't matter how old you are, you still scream at the tops of your lungs when your favorite school walks out.

18. You hate it, but you love it.

Sure Indiana can be a little annoying. But, I mean, where else would you want to be?


You'd be lying if you say you don't sing along whenever you hear, "Back home again." Indiana is beautiful. A little bipolar when it comes to weather, but still beautiful. I wouldn't want to spend my life anywhere else surrounded by corn.

I love being a Hoosier. I love seeing a thousand cows every time I drive down a country road. I love corn hole, even though I'm awful at it. I love Indiana. It's just where I'm from.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
