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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
